The 24 May 2001 edition of the Herald-Leader published an article > entitled "Tourists dig deep into the past". Accompanying this article was a > picture of the grave marker of Catherine Oakes, died 22 Feb 1863. The marker > was located in the old Moravain church cemetery in Jessamine County. I > believe this Catherine Oakes may be a lead in my ancestry search for origin > of great X 3 grandfather Daniel Samuel Oaks. Daniel S was born about 1791 in > either VA or NC, and moved to KY about 1820, settling in Lincoln County about > 1837. He died in Lincoln County in 1874. The husband of the Catherine Oaks > buried in Jessamine County is believed to be Thomas Oakes (or Oaks) born about 1775 > in VA, and the probable brother of my Daniel Samuel. A tie to the Moravains > creates a new possibility for search. > I would appreciate very much any information for the Moravain's or Oaks in Jessamine County.
