How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: Confirmed that the card is headed 'Capt Seth Oaks' Co. of Ar...' with the years 1777-1778 and lists miscellaneous records (lists, returns, pay accounts); the end of the company name is hidden by a second card pasted at the top right, and the title is completed by the Fold3 catalog entry 'Capt. Seth Oak's Co. Of Artificers (83)'. It is an index card to records, not a roster. Likely that Capt. Seth Oaks of the artificers is the tree's Seth Oak (b. 1733), on the strength of the 1916 War Department reply and the DAR lineage entry already held; the card itself names no town or family.
