5 i. Mary Sophia Dose, born April 25, 1882 in Issaquena County, Mississippi; died August 28, 1940 in Vicksburg, Mississippi; married Charles Franklin Oakes January 16, 1900 in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Sarah was listed in the 1840 census as being head of household in Guilford County, between 60 and 70 years of age and by the 1850 census she was living in the household of her son, Elliott H. Oakes. *** Carl Oakes speculates that she probably died in the 1850's. *** Sarah bought land in 1821; 100 acres for $250 on the north bank of the Haw River. *** Sarah never remarried after Elliott's death.

Notes for Ann Oakes:

By 1838 Ann was unmarried and still residing in Guilford County when the land inherited from William, her grandfather, was sold to Richard Corum. She would have been about 40 at the time. It's assumed she died in Guilford County.

Notes for James Washington Oakes:

James was a wheelwright by trade. *** In the 1850 census James was listed as a farmer worth $673 and 50 years old. *** In the 1860 Pittsylvania Couty census, James is listed as 60, a farmer and worth $2000. Interestingly, all the children from the union of James and Evaline are listed except James Lafayette and he had left home. The last child in the census was a "James H." at three months. I can only assume that this is James Harmon Oakes, who was the son of Thomas Clement Oakes. *** In a register of deaths in Pittsylvania County, James died November 17, 1877 in Pittsylvania County at age 70, with a wife "Eveline", of "gravel", and it was reported by a daughter F. I. Oakes (of which there is none). *** Will book #3, page 204, written September 18, 1877. He left his estate to wife "Eveline" for her lifetime. Subsequently it spells her name "Evelina" and "Evaline", all in the same will. James signed the will with a mark ("X") which means he couldn't write. THE WILL: The last will and testament of James Oakes Sr. of Pittsylvania County Virginia. I James Oakes considering the uncertainty of this mortal life & being of sound mind & memory do make & publish this my last will & testament. That is to say, first, I will & bequeath to my wife Eveline all of my property both real & personal during her life and at her death I will to Caroline & Bettie all of my land on the West side of Road running from P.

Notes for John B. Oakes:

John was a farmer per the 1850 Pittsylvania County census, age 49 and worth $350. *** In the 1860 Pittsylvania County census, John B. is 58, listed as a farmer and now worth $3000, $1500 in real estate and $1500 in personal property. He was born in Virginia (??) and can read and write. He lives in the southern district, Swansonville post office. *** Carl Oakes says that John was listed in the "Indenture of 1838" but did not sign it and did not appear in the 1840 census. Could be we mixing "Johns"? *** In the 1870 Pittsylvania County census John B. is listed as being 69, a white male born in Virginia and living at Whitmell [series M593, roll 1671, page 137]. *** In his will, book # 3 page 363, dated July 3, 1884 he wanted to divide his estate equally among his children but he realized some would show more "service and kindness" in his later years so he asked for two disinterested people to "umpire" which child got what percentage of the estate depending on who took care of him. His son James R. Oakes was executor. *** In the 1880 Pittsylvania County census John is 78, a widow, living in the Tunstall district next door to son Thomas and a farmer. Also living in his household are William 21, Elijah 18, Grant 14 and Bettie Dodd 22 a niece. {I know who Bettie is but can't place the others.}

Notes for William I. Oakes:

There is information that it could have been William "F"., not "I". Carl Oakes has William marrying Ruth Ray, in Stokes County, North Carolina in 1830. Their marriage bond was dated July 26, 1830. Carl also shows that he bought land in Stokes County in 1841 and he was there in 1838 when his share of William's estate, his grandfather, was sold. In 1838 he appeared before the justice of the peace for the necessary certification of his intentions, involving the sale but he was not there in the 1840 census. There was also a "William Oakes" in nearby Yancey County. He did not appear in the 1850 census, anywhere in North Carolina. *** Carol Fortner has him marrying both Ruth Ray and Sally Billings. *** Per 1850 Moratality Schedule in Forsyth County William died in October 1849 at the age of 48 due to inflamation of the bowels after an illness of two weeks. *** Oakes estate records in Forsyth County, North Carolina: {a} December 18, 1849.

v. Isaac H. Oakes, born March 06, 1806 in Guilford County, North Carolina; died November 19, 1893 in Guilford County, North Carolina; married (1) Elizabeth Parish December 25, 1828 in Guilford County, North Carolina; born Abt. 1809 in Guilford County, North Carolina; died Abt. 1829 in Stokes County, North Carolina; married (2) Ann Tatum June 25, 1831 in Stokes County, North Carolina; born Abt. 1809 in Stokes County, North Carolina; died Abt. 1875 in Guilford County, North Carolina; married (3) Irena Reid October 11, 1874 in Guilford County, North Carolina; born Abt. 1819 in Summerfield, Guilford County, North Carolina.

Notes for Isaac H. Oakes:

According to Carl Oakes Isaac lived in North Carolina all his life and most of the time in Guilford County unlike some of his siblings who moved back to Pittsylvania County. He may have lived in Stokes County for sometime because his son, William F., was born in Stokes County. *** Isaac was a blacksmith during his early years and a blacksmith and a farmer in his later years. Isaac wrote his will in January 1893 and that will was probated in January 15, 1894. *** Carl sees him as a rustic, industrious, settled sort of person. He apparently did not know how to read or write because he signed his will with an "X". But Isaac, and others, donated three acres for a school. In 1870 he was still listed as a blacksmith so he must have been a healthy and vigorous man. *** In the 1850 Guilford County census Isaac was listed as 44 and born in Guilford County. Other members of his household were Ann Tatum Oakes (wife) 41, William 20, Elizabeth 18, John 16, Sarah A. 14, __lina 12, James 8, Lavina R. 5, and Isaac E. 3 months. *** In the 1870 Guilford County census Ann Troxler, age 13, and Newton Oakes, age 20, were in Isaac's household. Isaac's daughter Elizabeth married Daniel Troxler so maybe Ann was their daughter. Newton is a mystery. *** Isaac appeared in the 1880 Guilford County census, widowed, with his daughter Rutha Parish keeping house for him. *** Isaac owned land on the Haw River, on Reedy Fork and on Troublesome Creek, all in Guilford County. *** Isaac was a deacon in the Elm Grove church, near Stokesdale on Highway 158 less than a mile west of Highway 20, and donated the land for the church. [Pat Wells] *** Isaac was a farmer, merchant and blacksmith and lived in the town of Summerfield with his wife Ann. [Bill Drake] *** Elm Grove Baptist Church was organized in 1846 and became inactive about 1892. Isaac Oakes was elected deacon February 14, 1849. He presented (giving?) the church a piece of land May 23, 1854. He was appointed as part of a committee to attend the graveyard. Isaac joined the church October 9, 1846. [Gladys @ Guilford County Historical Society] *** In the 1860 Guilford County, North Carolina census, northern district, Isaac "Oaks" was 54, a farmer and merchant and was born in Guildford County. *** In the 1870 Guilford County, North Carolina census, Brace's township, "Isaac Oaks" was 64, a blacksmith and born in North Carolina. *** In the 1880 Guilford County, North Carolina census Isaac "Oaks" is 74, married, living in the Bruce district, a farmer, he was born in North Carolina but his father was born in Virginia and his mother in Maryland. Keeping house for him is Ruth Parish who is noted as a daughter. Also in the household are 3 Parishes: Wesley, 12 (I think) and noted as his stepson; Isaac, 11 and listed as his nephew; Fanny, 9 and listed as his niece. Something is wrong since the file has these 3 as Ruth's children and therefore Isaac's grandchildren.

Notes for Elizabeth Parish:

Carl Oakes suspects that Elizabeth died in childbirth. *** In the 1830 census she does not appear. *** Marriage records show a last name of "Parrish". That is a family in Guilford County.

viii. Eliza Oakes, born Abt. 1818 in Guilford County, North Carolina.

Notes for Eliza Oakes:

Eliza probably died in infancy. She is only mentioned in court records in Pittsylvania (23-1, page 18). She was not mentioned in land sale to Richard Coram. Carl Oakes does not have her listed as a child in the family at all.

Elizabeth's will was written on August 4, 1834 and probated on March 15, 1841. Will book #1, page 422. Elizabeth left half of her estate to her daughter "Polly" but she would not get her half until AFTER the death of her son-in-law Richard "Corum". The other half of her estate was left to her grandson William, son of Isaac. His was to be held until he was 21. The will also mentions a granddaughter, Eliza "Corum". *** Carl Oakes thinks she may have been in her 80's when she died. *** No one knows if her last name was "Elliott". She named her first son Elliott and the use of a maiden name for a child was not that unusual, so the "Elliott" is a good guess. *** Pittsylvania County, Virginia Will Book #1 1814-1845, page 422: I Elizabeth Oakes ........... bequeath unto my daughter Polly Coram and my grand son William Oakes, son of Issac Oakes.... this 8th day of August in the year 1834.

Notes for Susannah (Sally) Oakes:

Susannah and Isaac were others of William's family to die young. They were both dead by the time William died in 1818 and died at about the same time as Elliott and Lemuel. Susannah and Isaac left children and her brother, Isaac, was appointed their guardian. See notes on Elliott Oakes for possible explanation. *** In the marriage register her name is spelled "Salley".

iii. Lemuel Oakes, born Abt. 1780 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died Abt. 1819; married Elizabeth Jane ?; born Abt. 1785 in Virginia; died Abt. 1865 in Cedar County, Washington Township, Missouri.

Notes for Lemuel Oakes:

Joel Estes was appointed the guardian of the orphans of Lemuel, as well as his brother Elliott, in June 21, 1819 Pittsylvania County court session. *** In a March 17, 1823 Pittsylvania County court session, Robert A. McCuiston (sp?) was appointed guardian of Lemuel's children. *** Lemuel appeared to have moved to Guilford County, North Carolina as well, when he left home. He and his family appeared in the 1810 census there. *** Lemuel was another member of William's family to die young. See notes on Elliott Oakes as to possible explanation. *** Conflict: Bob Oakes shows no child named "William", but does have Polly, Evaline, George William, Thomas Wilson and Lemuel Robinson. Carol Fortner says there "maybe" was a William in the family and she has Polly, Evaline, George W., Thomas and Lemuel B.. George Oakes has Polly, Evaline, George W., Thomas and Lemuel B. *** There was a Lemuel "Oaks" who served in the War of 1812. He was from Guilford County, 1st Regiment, Detached Militia. This may have been the one. *** Ann Cramer has Lemuel born in Guilford County, North Carolina. *** There was Lemuel Oaks in Guilford County that served in the 1st Regt. per "Soldiers of the War of 1812 - N.

PRIVATE PRIVATE 155 602 [from Amelia Talley]

Notes for Elizabeth Jane ?:

Jane established a home in Stokes County, North Carolina after the death of Lemuel. She and her family were there during the 1820 census. Carl Oakes says they may have moved back to Guilford County because another guardian of her children was appointed there in 1822. She probably was the "Jane" in Guilford County for the 1830 census and in Davidson County for the 1840 census (Bob Oakes checked the Davidson County census and could not find Jane, he did find one in Davie County but it wasn't the same Jane because of her age). She's dropped from the census records by 1850 and may have died in North Carolina. *** Bob Oakes has now found her in the 1860 census, she was 75 and born in Virginia, in Cedar County, Missouri. She was living with the family of T. M. Haner, 23, a farmer born in Tennessee and his wife Elizabeth, 23 born in Missouri and children William M, 5 and George W., 2. Bob Oakes is convinced that this "Elizabeth Haner" is George William Oakes' daughter Elizabeth and a mistake was made in her age and she is really 18. *** She wasn't in the 1870 census so the assumption is that she died. *** Articles about Thomas Wilson make Bob Oakes believe that Thomas first went to Mississippi and then to Oklahoma with his brother William. William supposedly went to a "northern state", in this case it was Missouri. William first settled in Cedar County and was subsequently joined by his mother Jane and a little later by brothers George and Lemuel. Then they moved from Cedar to St. Clair County and later Lemuel moved again to Benton County.

iv. Isaac Oakes, born Abt. 1782 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

Notes for Isaac Oakes:

According to Carl Oakes Isaac married and had children but all are unknown except one son, William. Isaac survived his father but died before his mother's will was written in 1834. Her will left property to her grandson, "William, son of Isaac Oakes, deceased, of Tennessee." *** Conflict: George Oakes has Isaac married to a Phoebe and Isaac dying before 1834 in Tennessee. *** Infomation done by Kay Hill, via Pat Wells, has Isaac going to Maury County, Tennessee.

v. Nancy Oakes, born Abt. 1785 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died Bef. 1833 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; married David Dickenson August 20, 1804 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

Notes for David Dickenson:

In the marriage register his name is spelled "Dickinson".

vi. William Oakes, born Abt. 1787 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

vii. Charles H. Oakes, born Abt. 1789 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

Notes for Charles H. Oakes:

Per Carl Oakes there was a 1841 appraisal of the personal estate of William "there being no property but Negroes shown us" in which Charles H. Oakes, "one of the legatees to the west ..." had carried off a slave who was a striker in a blacksmith shop. This may mean Charles was another blacksmith in the family. It does mean that Charles had moved west.

viii. Mary (Polly) Oakes, born Abt. 1794 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; married Richard Corum March 14, 1814 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; born Abt. 1780; died Bef. 1850 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

Notes for Mary (Polly) Oakes:

Polly was listed in the 1850 Pittsylvania County census as 56 years old and worth $200. *** Conflict: Some of the children shown may not be correct. Bob Oakes shows Elizabeth, Susan and Sarah. Carol Fortner shows Elizabeth and Susan. Fosdick shows Elizabeth, Susan, Sarah, Mary and Eliza. Carl Oakes shows Susan and Eliza.

Notes for Richard Corum:

I strongly suspect that his last name was "Corum" vs. "Coram". In documents it is spelled either way and there are "Corums" in the area today. *** In the Pittsylvania County deed book #43, page 14, Richard Corum pays $70 for land left to Ann, James, William, Isaac, Sarah and Elliott H. Oakes from their father Elliott Oakes which was part of land left to him by his father William (the children's grandfather) and adjoining land owned by (their uncle) Isaac.

Marriage Notes for Mary Oakes and Richard Corum:

Marriage book #1, page 56. Polly's name was spelled "Oaks" in the register. Isaac "Oaks" was the bondsman and William Oakes, noted as her father, signed the certificate.

Notes for Daniel Oakes:

According to Carl Oakes, Daniel was the first Oakes with this name to appear in the records. But was he the son of William? *** Daniel and his wife Catherine moved to Pittsylvania County in the early 1780's. Daniel and Catherine moved to a farm near Museville, Virgina and apparently stayed there for the rest of their lives. *** Daniel first bought land in April 19, 1784, on Tomahawk Creek, in Pittsylvania County according to Lonnie Okes. That was his only known land purchase. *** Daniel appears on the 1785 tax list for Pittsylvania County. *** Margaret Oakes Kirby died November 20, 1859 and listed her parents as Daniel and Catherine Oakes and listed all her siblings. *** Daniel appears in the 1787 census of Virginia, in Pittsylvania County, with no white males between 16 and 21, no blacks over or under 16, one horse and 4 cattle. *** It is assumed that Daniel, and probably his wife, is buried in the Oakes cemetery on Tomahawk Creek. There are many many graves not marked. *** From Lonnie Okes and his research: "In my research since 1950, 1 concluded many years ago that the father of our Daniel was a William. I first thought this was probably the William in Pittsylvania County in the 1780s, but in 1992 I received a computer readout of descendants of William H. and Elizabeth Oakes from Ray and Lorie Fosdick of Norfolk, VA. This proved my theory wrong. However, I continued (like Carl Oakes of California) to think that the father of Daniel was a William Oakes. I based this on my line being a William line. Often the oldest son in a family is named for the father or the grandfather (in the father's line, or sometimes in the mother's line.). The spelling of a surname cannot be taken as proof of a lineage as many of our ancestors could not read or write and most public records use the spelling assumed by the county official. However, my great grandfather William B. Okes told his family that he spelled the surname the way it was "originally" spelled, so my father and others told me. Then I saw the stone marker at William B.'s mother's grave on Tomahawk Creek in Pittsylvania County, "Ruth Okes," and the deeds dividing the property (where the cemetery is located) of Daniel and Catherine Oakes, when she died in 1828. Some of the deeds spelled the family name "Oakes" and some "Okes." So I used the "Okes" spelling as a clue, and lifted from the records: Headrights-in 1687 Capt. Peter Epes, sea captain, claimed land in Henrico Co., VA (Richmond area) for bringing persons, including William Okes (Aug. 19, 1687) to Virginia from England. Apparently, Epes didn't get the grant from the royal governor of Virginia at that time and filed it again-"Will Okes" in 1703. 1 know it's the same Okes as this is a duplicate of the 1687 list. The Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild shows this as "before April 24, 1703." The ship was the Blessing. As there was much speculation in land in this period, a third headright may be the same Oakes/Okes. "William Oakes" was transported by Capt. Will Randolph and received land in Henrico Co. Oct 8, 1689. Our ancestor could have shipped over twice, perhaps working as a seaman. (Conjecture of course) These put William Oakes/Okes in the same time frame and area as the John Oakes who showed up in the colonial records in the 1672-early 1700's period. He was a planter and owner of Oak Hill Plantation in York County, VA. King and Queen County and King William County were carved from York County and became a key bed of Oakeses in early Virginia."

Notes for Catherine ?:

Catherine "Okes" appears on the 1810 Pittsylvania County tax list with her sons John and Jesse. There were 2 white tithables, no slaves over 12 years old and 1 horse.

Notes for Thomas Oakes:

Carl Oakes believes Thomas moved to Orange County sometime before 1738, when he was granted land there. That land was adjacent to Edward Haley so Thomas and Charles were neighbors. *** Thomas then moved to Caroline County before 1746 because he and his wife Elizabeth, "of Caroline County", sold their land in Orange County in 1746. *** Thomas was the first "Thomas Oakes" to appear in the records. Carl could find only two records that referred to Thomas. *** On July 20, 1738 he was granted 346 acres in Orange County. *** In 1746 he and his wife sold it. At the time of the sale they were living in St. John's Parish, Caroline County, Virginia.

Notes for Elizabeth ?:

Isaac's will showed she was still alive, Thomas was not.

Marriage Notes for Thomas Oakes and Elizabeth ?:

ii. Charles Oakes, born Abt. 1713 in King William County, Virginia; died Abt. 1760 in Orange County, Virginia; married Sarah Haley Bef. 1736 in Orange County, Virginia.

Notes for Charles Oakes:

According to Carl Oakes, Charles probably moved from King William County to Orange County in the late 1720's or early 1730's. He probably stayed there the rest of his life. *** Charles died in the late 1750's or early 1760's, probably in Orange County. *** The earliest record was in a land record dated November 18, 1735. *** By 1737 Charles had surveyed, for himself, 400 acres of new land. *** In July 1736 he was accused of tresspassing by a Henry Willis. *** In September 1736 John Cuddin claimed Charles owed him two pounds for a mare he sold him. Both cases were dismissed. *** In 1738 he appeared on a delinquent tax list in Orange County. He evidently had a runaway slave that would have been taxable. [another reference; W&M Qrt., v27, pg21]

Notes for Sarah Haley:

Her father, Edward Haley, mentioned her as Sarah Oakes in his will dated December 1752 filed in Orange County, Virginia. They were neighbors of Charles Oakes. *** Sarah Haley, the daughter of Edward and Catherine Haley of Orange, was probably born in either King and Queen or King William County, Virginia. She was probably the oldest daughter in the family and born not long after 1700. She was mentioned in her father's will of 1752 as Sarah Oakes. It is not known when she was married, but her husband has been identified by some as Thomas Oakes. While no research has been conducted on Sarah's family, yet most likely they moved southward, settling in Halifax County, Virginia. There were later marriages between members of the Oakes and Haley families in the Halifax-Pittsylvania County area, which would suggest a long-standing acquaintanceship.

iv. Mary Margaret Oakes, born Abt. 1717 in York County, Virginia; died Abt. 1779 in Augusta County, Virginia; married (1) Thomas Peery; born Abt. 1715; died Abt. 1762; married (2) William McFeeters.

Notes for Thomas Peery:

The name of this Thomas Peery first appears in the records on the list of

Captain John Wilson's Company of Augusta County Militia, raised for the 

defense of the frontier in the late summer or early fall of 1742. This was 

only about 10 years after the first settlement of white people in the county, 

which at the time comprised all of Virginia lying west of the Blue Ridge 

Mountains southerly of the County of Frederick. This Company was one of 

twelve raised at about the same time, the rolls of only nine of which have 

been found. These rolls are supposed to have born the names of practically 

all the arms bearing population at that time, from youth to extreme old 

age. 

The fact that no other Peery name appears upon any of these nine rolls, which

have been preserved, would indicate that Thomas was the only one in the 

settlement. On these rolls appear the names of many families to that section 

and to Southwest Virginia. Thomas Gillespie was a member of Captain John 

Smith's Company. John Buchanan was Captain of a Company, and Will Evans, was 

his Lieutenant. David Logan was a member of Captain J---- Cathey Company. 

John Christian was Captain of a Company, and William Christian was his 

Lieutenant. Alex Morris and John Thompson, and George, Alex, Robert and 

James Breckenridge belonged to this Company. In Captain John Wilson's 

Company, with Thomas Peery were George Davidson, John William and James 

Hunter. Alexander and Robert Crockett, John and James Trimble, Robert, John, 

James and Hugh Young. Jacob Lockhart, Thomas Kirkpatrick, David and William 

Campbell, William Legerwood and others more or less familiar. 

On August 20, 1746, the County Court of Augusta Co. appointed John Brown to

be oversear of a road from Kings to the Courthouse, with certain "tithables"

to work it, among them Thomas Peery. Order Book No. 1, page 20. 

On November 21, 1752, The Court appointed Thomas Peery, James Peery and

others, to work the road from the top of North Mountain to the Courthouse,

under Samuel Wallace. Order Book, No. 3, page 406. 

March 21st, 1753, George Peery, Thomas Peery and James Peery with others,

were appointed to keep the road formerly layed off from James Young's Mill to

Buchanan Mill. Then some of their fellow workers were much the same as those

found upon the rolls of Captain John Smith's Company. Order Book No. 3, page

414. 

In 1753, we also find Thomas Peery mentioned in connection with James, George

and John Peery, as one of the persons appointed to keep a certain road in

repair. 

On Feb. 27th, 1749, William Beverly of Plainfield, Essex County, Va. the

owner of Beverly Manor a tract of 120,000 acres surrounding Staunton, Va. ,

conveyed to Thomas Peerie, of the County of Augusta, Planter, a tract of 375

acres in the County of Augusta, Shenadore, part of the tract called and known

as "Beverly Manor." This land was joined on the east by a tract conveyed on

the same date by said Beverly to James Peery. It was bounded on the North by

lands of Robert Young, on the northwest by William McClintock and on the

south by John Campbell. On this same date, Beverly conveyed lands to George

Peery and Thomas Kirkpatrick, and on the 26th of the same month, conveyed

lands to William McClintock. 

On March 20th, 1762, Thomas Peery made his will which was produced in the

Court, November 16, 1762. Order Book No. 7, page 101, so that he died 

between these two dates. His widow Mary Peery, qualified as Executrix at the 

Augusta County Court, Feb. 15, 1763. All the children mentioned above were 

named in the will, except James, whose relationship appears on later Deeds. 

The Will gave his wife, all the movable effects on the plantation, and to 

his son, John, 100 acres "of the nearest end of my plantation." The rest of 

his estate he directed to be put on sale and divided equally amongst his 

children named except Elizabeth, as sufficiently provided for, or possibly 

for some reason not meriting special provision. 

His son, Thomas was a minor at the time of his death, as on August 20, 1765,

he came to Court and chose John Peery to be his guardian, being 16 years of

age. Order Book No. 9, page 439 

Descendents of all male children can be traced, except Robert, about whom I

have found nothing. I find no records of the families of his daughters,

except Mary, who married David Logan and moved to Kentucky, where she raised

a family. 

The widow of Thomas Peery married William McFeeters after the death of her

former husband, and she, with her husband, on August 20, 1765 conveyed to

John Peery a tract of land in pursuance of the power contained in the Will of

Thomas Peery, and also, on the same date, she and her husband conveyed the 

balance of the original tract sold by Beverly to Thomas Peery, to Samuel 

McNabb, John Peery wife, Sarah Peery, released to his brother James, 150 

acres of the original tract of 375 acres, deeded to his father Thomas, 

described as "on a branch of the Shenadore". On March 1, 1770, James Peery 

conveyed this land to John Archenbright. 

The members of the family seemed to have left the local city about this time,

which corresponds very nearly with the date when George, William and Thomas

together with John, settled in what is now Tazewell Co., Va. It is probable

that they stopped for a while in the present limits of Botetourt County, 

where John seems to have invested in land, for we find him and his wife, 

selling land located in the forks of the James River in said County, under 

date of Oct. 7, 1777. James, first settler, seems also to have settled about 

this time in Botetourt County."

Notes for Charles Oakes:

Carl Oakes feels that Charles was the second of the family name to have been born in Virginia. He was the first of many Charles Oakes yet to come. He lived near John so the assumption is that they were brothers. He was born in York County. York County later became King William County, Virginia. Charles first appears in the records in 1708, as a witness to a land transaction. *** Charles Oakes had 196 acres in King William County on April 26, 1712. *** In 1720 James Taylor surveyed 112 acres for a Charles Oakes. [Va. Hist. v25, pg 67] *** From Bob Oakes: There was an accounting of the estate of Ambrose Madison in the court term 1725-1726. One of his creditors was paid, the sum was not shown. The creditor was Charles Oakes. and it was in Virginia. It wasn't all that important until I read a note stating that Ambrose Madison was the grandfather of the future president, James Madison.

There is no proof that her name was "Spence".

Notes for Richard Kellam:

From Constance Kellam's book: Richard Kellum, also spelled Kellam, came to Northhampton County, on the eastern shore of Virginia, in 1635. He had sailed from London on the ship "Primrose", under Captain Douglas. He was examined by Captain Douglas "touching conformity to the Allegiance and Supremacy". On July 27, 1635 the ship left Gravesend, England. Richard would have been only 16. When he arrived in Northhampton County he was indentured to Nicholas Widdelowe (Waddelowe), a Quaker farmer, to pay for his passage. In 1649 Nicholas received 400 acres for transporting 8 people, one of whom was Richard Kellam. Nicholas and his three daughters, Comfort, Patience and Temperance, fled from the eastern shore of Virginia and settled in Maryland because thet were persecuted, by Col Scarborough, as "dissenters" (not adhering to the Protestant Episcopal Church, The Church of England). // During his life he encouraged others to emigrate from England, paid for their passage, and claimed 50 acres for bringing each one. Records show he claimed land in 1651 and 1653 on that basis. In 1664 he claimed land again, listing some of the same names a second time, as well as adding some new ones. Evidently "false claims" were done by some very repectable people. Lord Berkley also gave Richard a large grant. Richard was a friend of the Indians as well as Colonel Edmund Scarborough, aide to the governor, who actually ruled the colony. Richard accumulated 2400 acres in Accomac County, Virginia. // On May 7, 1655 land, owned by Richard, was determined to be the best place for a the port, meetinghouse, Clerk's office and Sherriff's office. // In 1663 Richard went north to the Pocomoke River, in Somerset County, Maryland, and purchases 500 acres of land which he called "Kellam's Folly". Col. Edmund Scarborough later invaded this same area to claim it for Virginia but failed when it was revealed he had falsified maps and records in order to move Virginia's boundary too far north. Lord Calvert protested that this interfeared with the lines drawn from the grant from the King and Col. Scarborough had to withdraw. However Richard did not "improve" the land, which had to be done after purchasing or claiming it a headright, so the claim lapsed and in 1665 it was resurveyed and given to Robert Ingraham. // In 1693 Richard lost his temper, in court, and swore. He apologized, expressing "humble supplication and penitence" and "because of the humility of the offender", and the fact it was his first crime, the court remitted his fine. // Before his death Richard transferred all but 110 acres to his children. Constance Kellam feels that Richard was an interesting, colorful figure, and a friendly, energetic, warm hearted, likeable adventurer.
