Good morning, all. The legend is: Nathaniel OAK, at age 15, swam ashore from a sunken boat from England in about 1660. The Boat/Ship sunk about 9 miles off of the coast and Nat Oak was the only survivor. Facts supporting legend: None. Story was told by Nathaniel and passed down through family. Could be true..but find no support for it. I personally believe he was either an escaped prisoner or the illegitimate son of Thomas/Edward Oak who arrived in Boston in the early 1840's. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Paul of San Diego
