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: Hanah is Hannah Oake, born 1749, daughter of John Oak (d. 1752) and Susannah (Allen) Oak, who is the guardian (the 1743 Hannah died in 1745); the docket does not state parentage. Other cases on the spread were not transcribed.
