Keep in mind: The same men are indexed under three spellings (Oak, Oaks, Oakes). Unconfirmed that the Nathaniel of Bolton entries are the Nathaniel Oak born 1751: they fit the pension file's Capt. Benjamin Hastings company at Bolton in 1775, but the printed abstracts name no parents or later residence (Likely at best).

Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed. 'OAKES, NATHANIEL, Winchendon. Private, Capt. Benjamin Edgell's co., Col. John Jacobs's regt.; enlisted June 30, 1778; service, 6 mos. 7 days, including travel (100 miles) home; enlistment to expire Jan. 1, 1779; also, same co. and regt.; muster rolls dated Freetown, Sept. 13, and Oct. 18, 1778.' The page holds many other Oakes entries (Cohasset, Boston and others). Whether this is our person: Unconfirmed to Likely. The Nathaniel Oakes entries on this page are left unmerged; the tag to Nathaniel Oak (1762-1830), son of Seth Oak, rests on the Winchendon place shared with Seth's 1775 entry and on his age (16 in 1778), and is not proved by the page.

Keep in mind: Compiled service cards copied from the rolls of the 6th Massachusetts Regiment (Col. Thomas Nixon), a 6-months levy enlisted July 1780; the cards are copies of rolls, not separate enlistments. The 13 July 1780 enlistment is the one the 1923 Pension Office reply to W.25398 gives for Nathaniel Oak of Athens and matches the printed Soldiers and Sailors entry for Nathaniel Oaks of Bolton, age 18; Likely for Nathaniel Oak born 1762. The name forms (Nathaniel, Nathan, Nathl) and the 3 July (card 0885) versus 13 July dates are kept as written; the Chelsea pensioner's service is a different file.

Keep in mind: Printed entries read as printed. Seth's entry is named service, not individual battle attendance; his identification with Seth Oak born 1733 is Likely. The first entry (Oak, Nathaniel, pay roll of the Bolton six-months men, marched 10 July 1780, discharged 16 Dec 1780) is tied to Nathaniel Oak born 1762 as Likely (his Athens pension widow says he lived at Bolton and served six months in 1780); it names no age or residence beyond Bolton.

Keep in mind: Printed entry confirmed (age eighteen printed). Identification with Nathaniel Oak born 1762, the later Athens pensioner, is Likely: the 1923 Pension Office letter (W.25398) and the compiled 6th Massachusetts cards give his service as six months in Col. Nixon's regiment ending 16 Dec 1780, and an inquirer of 1923 states he enlisted 13 July 1780 aged 18, 5 ft 7 in. No document names him in both. Other entries on this page (John Oaks of Harvard and of Medford, others) are separate men and are not tagged. Label: Unconfirmed.

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.

Ephraim Houghton where a compiled card (not registered here) names Jotham Houghton; the discrepancy is kept.
