Keep in mind: Printed names confirmed. F kept the Nathaniel row as an Unconfirmed namesake because the Chelsea patriot (born 1751) was the question then; the man at Athens is now the tree's Nathaniel Oak born 1762 (Likely: Seth's son, in Capt. Chaffee's company with Seth in 1782). Identification of Seth Oak with Seth born 1733 is Likely. Unconfirmed.
