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.

Vital Records of Westborough (1903), Births, p. 81, under OAKE: 'Seth, s. Nathaniel and Tabitha, April 8, 1733' (from the church record), the first record found that names Seth Oak's parents; the page also lists Thankful, d. Nathaniel and Kezia (1739), William, s. Nathaniel (21 April 1728) and children of John and Susanah.

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.

Keep in mind: A family compilation of 1906 (printed as printed; not independent proof). The page is tagged to the parents named in the heading (Nathaniel Oak born 1703 and Tabitha Rice), which is Likely; William, Seth's brother, is not a person in the tree. Seth's own entry (11) is on p. 15. Label: Unconfirmed.
