CHILDREN OF WILLIAM' (10) AND RELIEF
WHITCOMB.
The Oaks of the fourth generation numbered
100.
The earliest
birth was 1753; the latest death was
1897.
Two only survive in
1898.
Two
(Nos.
135
and
185)
and
the
other
living
when
this work was begun gave me directly or indirectly considerable
information.
Personally
I have known
in childhood only five of
the number, of whom four were of my own branch of the family.
While most of them lived and died
like their fathers in the four
New England states
of Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont, about one-fourth of the number made their homes
in other
states,
as
follows,
in order
of the number settling
in
each
: New York, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
South Carolina, Rhode Island, Iowa, California and New Bruns-
wick.
