John^ Oak bought
a farm and
built a house on
it;
the
place, known
later as
the
"Gasset
Place," and owned
in
1897 by George Smith,
is about
two
miles north of Northboro village and
a portion of the old
house is thought to be included in the newer one. John was a pros-
perous farmer, being in 1749 one of the fifteen largest taxpayers
in town, and the appraisement of the estate
in 1752 being £396,
but he died
at the early age of thirty-seven, when the
children
were very young; and nothing respecting him has been handed
down through the son and daughter who alone lived to maturity.
His descendants number about
1200.
All
in the male
line have
retained
the name "Oak"
in
its
original
form.
There was
an-
other John Oaks of Sunderland and Petersham, erroneously iden-
tified with our John by some writers—the error resulting in no
little confusion and wasted labor.
The widow had six children
by her second husband, born in Shrewsbury.
In 1766 the family
removed to Winchester, N. H.
