How to read this page
- Photos and clippings count items you can view here.
- Cited or transcribed records are counted separately.
- Story links lead to accounts about the person; “Mentioned in another story” marks a passing reference.
- Memorial links open Find a Grave.
- A “family recollection” label marks something a relative remembered, not a written record.
- A military-service label rates the record of that service, not the whole life.
Sex is as recorded in the family tree. Age at death is worked out from the dates shown and may be a range or an approximation. It is left out when a date is missing or is only a “before”, “after” or “between” date, when the research has found a date Unconfirmed, when the two dates conflict, or when they would mean an age over 110.
Overview
Service
Revolutionary War · Militia · 1777, 1780, 1781 Confirmed
The 1906 register says he served three enlistments, 1777-81, from Westborough and Bolton, and was 19 in 1780; a Daniel Oaks of Westborough, age 19, was a six-months man in 1780 (Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors, vol. 11). He applied for a pension in 1832, and his widow Deborah D. Oaks for bounty land in 1854 (National Archives, M804, roll 1836), so the service is his.
