Although I do not have a lot to tell you tht you prob don't know, I just wanted to make a connection with you. Rachel Oakley's father was William from New Jersey, mother unknown. Her siblings were Abraham, Mary Oakley Riley, Elizabeth Oakley Meek, your Rachel Oakley Bennett, and Aaron Oakley. Aaron Oakley was the father of many kids, including Benjamin. Benjamin was the father of many including William. William was my grandfather, George Oakley, father, who was the father of my mother, Allene Oakley Patterson. So Rachel's brother Aaron was my ggggradfather. I do know Lindsey and Rachel's daughter Sarah married Taylor Driskel, the son of John Driskel, who was the head of a notorious gang of murderers in Illinois. He was the head of the Driskel/Brody gang. Look them up onthe internet. Interesting. Please feel free to e mail me at leahanne@moseleyschool.com and I would love to hear what you know. I have a copy of Wi! lliam's will dividing his estate among the 4 kids plus the children of Aaron. Aaron died before his father did.
