How it is shown: Complete two-page spread; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: Confirmed as the clerk's docket entries. A docket abstract: it gives no petition text and usually no parentage; identities of the Oak entries rest on name, place and year (Likely) as stated below. Likely: John Oak is John (1714/15-1752), son of Nathaniel and Mary (Holloway) Oak, and Susannah his widow (Allen). The surety 'George Oak' is taken to be John's brother George (born 1720) as Likely only (the docket says nothing of kinship; left uninterpreted). Samuel Allen is not identified.
