Word-for-word transcription (spellings kept; uncertain letters in brackets).
Doolittle, Ephraim (Mass). Colonel Massachusetts Regiment, May to Oc- tober, 1775.
Excerpt: the entry relevant to the family's research, not the whole page.
How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: Officer chronology only (context for a unit named in the person's own record); the page names no Oak, and no personal service is inferred from it. Context for Seth Oak and Calvin Oak: the printed Soldiers and Sailors entries place both in Capt. Abel Wilder's company, Col. Ephraim Doolittle's regiment, in 1775. F corrected an earlier citation of p. 145 to printed p. 156.
