Abraham* Oaks went
from
Fitzwilliam,
N.
H.,
in
1791,
to
Whitestown, N. Y.
In June of that year he leased from the In-
dian Foncoit, land in Brotherton
(Deansville), but probably did
not take possession, as a little later he bought for £200 a farm in
20th township (Sangerfield) from which Bridgewater was set off,
where he spent the rest of his
life. He held various town offices,
especially in connection with the schools; and was an influential
member of the Congregational church from
1804.
The
family
lived on the farm to 1850; then in the village.
For the record of
William's descendants and those of his sisters,
I am indebted al-
most entirely to Rev. Wm. DeLoss Love of Hartford, Conn., a
descendant of Abraham*.
