Vital Records of Marlborough (1908), Births, p. 142, under OAKE: Natthaniel (7 Jan 1703), William (18 Feb 1705), Hannah (27 Dec 1707), Mary (31 Mar 1710), Ann (9 Sep 1712), John (16 Mar 1714-15), Jonathan (21 Aug 1717) and George (18 Feb 1719-20, 'of Westbrow'), all children of Nathaniel and Mary.

Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed from the page image, with the dates as printed: Ann, d. Natthaniel and Mary, Sept. 9, 1712; Gorge, s. Nathanil of Westbrow and Mary, Feb. 18, 1719-20; Hannah, Dec. 27, 1707; John, March 16, 1714-15; Jonathan, Aug. 21, 1717; Mary, March 31, 1710; Natthaniel, Jan. 7, 1703 (the year is printed 1703); William, Feb. 18, 1705; most with the note that the church record spells the name Oak. The same page prints 'OAK, Mary, bap. Nov. 29, 1741,' a different, later Mary, and later Oakes and Oaks families (Albert and Abigail; John and Experience) that are not Nathaniel's line. Whether these are our people: Likely, not Confirmed. The eight names, their birth order and the parents' names 'Natthaniel and Mary' match exactly the eight children the 1826 Worcester Magazine footnote gives to Nathaniel Oaks and Mary Holloway, and the tree holds the same eight; the page names no surname for Mary, and the tie to the tree's Nathaniel Oak(e) and Mary (Holloway) Oak rests on that match and the Marlborough place. William (b. 18 Feb 1705) is Likely the William Oakes of 18 who died in the 1723 Shrewsbury fire, by age alone. The 1741 baptism is not tagged. A caution on the date: Natthaniel's 7 Jan 1703 falls in the old-style January-to-March window, where a year written plainly as 1703 is often meant as 1703/4 in today's reckoning; the page does not say which the clerk meant. The parents' own Concord marriage, dated "March ye 2d 1703," carries the same ambiguity and is not independently resolved either (see the Nathaniel Oake story). This is a caution about reading the date, not a claim that one reading is correct.

Keep in mind: Transcribed (frames 766-782); a first reading was made. Confirmed: the eight children and the ordinals for John (seventh), Jonathan (fifth) and George (second). Likely: Anne (tenth) and Hannah (fifteenth). Not reliably read: the ages for Mary, Nathaniel and William. Date and sum Likely. Tagging the eight to the tree's persons rests on the names and the 1906 register order (Likely).

How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed from the page image. Under OAKE the entry reads 'OAKE [Wid.], Mary of Westbrough and Thomas Rice, July 2, 1722'; under OKE, 'Nathanel and Tabatha Rice, Feb. 20, 1726-7'; the other Oak, Oakes and Oaks marriages on the page are those of later men (Ebenezer 1846 and 1848, Almira 1824, Beriah 1804, Daniel 1783, George 1765, Sarah 1741). The page names no first husband for the widow Mary. Whether these are our people: Likely, not Confirmed. Mary, a widow of Westborough, matches the tree's Mary (Holloway) Oak, widow of Nathaniel Oak(e), who the tree has remarrying Thomas Rice, but the page itself does not say whose widow she was; the match rests on the name, the widow's status, the date, Westborough and the tree's own marriage to Thomas Rice. 'Nathanel Oke and Tabatha Rice' matches the tree's Nathaniel Oak (b. 1703) and Tabitha Rice (the tree's son of Nathaniel and Mary), by names and date. The other Oak entries on the page are not tagged.

Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed from the page image. The Rice list repeats the 2 July 1722 marriage of Thomas Rice and the widow Mary Oake of Westborough and the 20 Feb 1726-7 marriage of Tabatha Rice and Nathanel Oke; it is the same record as p. 293, indexed twice, so it is one witness, not two. Whether these are our people: as on p. 293, Likely, not Confirmed: the widow Mary is the tree's Mary (Holloway) Oak on name, status, date, place and the tree's marriage to Thomas Rice; the page does not name her first husband. Nathanel and Tabatha are the tree's Nathaniel Oak (b. 1703) and Tabitha Rice by names and date.

Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed: under OAK, 'George and Lydia Eager, Oct. 23, 1744' (the marriage that the Marlborough search could not find), 'George and Marcy Bartlett of Marlborough, int. May 24, 1765', 'Hannah and Gershom Fay, Oct. 20, 1727. C.R.', 'John and Susanna Allin, Nov. 3, 1742', 'Nathaniel and Keziah Maynard, June 7, 1736'; under OAKE, 'Ann and David Maynard, March 14, 1737. C.R.', 'Mary and Daniel Maynard of Marlborough, Feb. 20, 1735. C.R.', 'Susannah and John Butler of Shrewsbury, int. May 18, 1754'; under OAKES, 'Mary and Thomas Rice, July 2, 1722. In Marlborough.' Whether these are our people: Likely, not Confirmed. The names and dates of these couples match the tree's children of Nathaniel and Mary (Holloway) Oak and their spouses, and Susannah Allen, widow of John Oak, who married John Butler; the page names no parents. Nathaniel and Keziah Maynard fit a Nathaniel Oak (b. 1703) with a second wife, but Keziah is not in the tree and the entry could also be another Nathaniel; George and Marcy Bartlett (1765) is not tagged.

How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed from the page image. The Oake entries read: George, s. Mary Rice by 1st husband, ---- Oake, July 7, 1728 (C.R.); Leviner, d. John and Susanah, May 23, 1745; Nathaniel, s. John and Susanah, May 16, 1751; Seth, s. Nathaniel and Tabitha, April 8, 1733 (C.R.); Thankful, d. Nathaniel and Kezia, Aug. 19, 1739 (C.R.); William, s. Nathaniel, April 21, 1728 (C.R.). The page does not say which Nathaniel, and a mother 'Tabitha' for Seth against 'Kezia' for the later children is as printed. The George entry gives 1728, while the Marlborough record (p. 142) gives George 18 Feb 1719-20; that difference is not resolved here. Whether these are our people: Likely that Seth, s. Nathaniel and Tabitha (b. 1733) is the tree's Seth Oak (b. 1733), son of Nathaniel Oak (b. 1703) and Tabitha (Rice) Oak: the name, the date and the parents' first names agree with the tree, which already holds Tabitha Rice as Nathaniel's wife (the Marlborough marriage of 1726-7). This changes an earlier working theory that Seth came through a Nathaniel of Bolton; that question is still open. Not tagged: William (1728) and the other children.

How it is shown: Complete page as scanned; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: Confirmed. Entries marked C.R. are church-record dates printed as births: George's 7 July 1728 is a baptism (the Marlborough record has his birth about 18 Feb 1719-20), and Seth's 8 Apr 1733 is a baptism (his birth is 1 Apr 1733 per the loose return). William, son of Nathaniel (1728), is not William Oak b. 1705. Identification of the fathers with the tree's Nathaniel b. 1703/4 and John (1715-1752) is by name, place and date (Likely).

Keep in mind: The blotted given name before 'Goodenow' is read Jonathan (confirmed from the signature line on image 279). The upper part of the spread (p. 499 and the top of p. 500) is a different estate (Maj. Wade's widow's third, 1730) and is not the Oak family. The margin mark 'L8' is unexplained. 500 to the upper part of p. 503 and that p. 499 and the top of p. 500 are another estate.

The church records give Seth's baptism as 8 Apr 1733 (Westborough Church Records p. 32), and the printed Vital Records of Westborough (p. 81) enter that baptism date as the birth.

Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed. The footnote says Nathaniel Oaks came from England; married Mehitabel, daughter of John Rediet, who died 25 Nov 1702 without children; his second wife Mary was a daughter of Adam Holloway; the children were Nathaniel (of Bolton), William (burned at Shrewsbury in Capt. Keyes's house), Hannah (m. Gershom Fay Jr., d. 8 Mar 1806), Mary (m. Daniel Maynard, Marlborough), Ann (m. David Maynard, Westborough), John, Jonathan (removed to Harvard) and George. The text says nothing of a shipwreck, a cabin boy or a catamount; it is a printed account of 1826, not a contemporary record. Whether these are our people: the page names Nathaniel Oaks of Marlborough, his two wives and his children, and the tree holds the same parents and the same eight children with the same spouses (Likely for each child, since the tie to Nathaniel rests on this 1826 account). That the 'William' of the footnote is the William Oakes aged 18 named in the Boston News-Letter of 15 Aug 1723 is Likely, not Confirmed: the footnote is a later secondary account. Not tagged: John Rediet and the other people named on the page.
