Hi, As I said more from my files. The following is from the history book on Orange C., New York I already sent info on. page 643- 645 Biographical Sketches- Isaac K. Oakley John Oakley, the paternal ancestor of Isaac K. Oakley, came from England, settled as a farmer in Suffolk Co., L.I., when it was under Dutch rule, and continued his residence there until his death. His name is recorded in the "History of Long Island" as acting, with others on March 24,1702, in defending the Quakers from persucution, and later, in opposing the same persucution, in defiance of the treats of the ruling officers of the government. He married into a Knickerbocker family of Brooklyn, and became the father of a numerous family. Some of his children settled in Huntington, L. I., others in New York, Richmond, Dutchess, and Orange Cos., N.Y. Many of the present families of Sullfolk County can trace their ancestry back to John Oakley. Among his grandchildren was Samuel, of whom it is recorded that during the Relotionary war he was pressed into the British service, with his tea and cattle, and robbed of the products of his farm, leaving his family in extreme poverty and want. He married Sally Wood, of Huntington, by whom he had four sons,---Richard, Timothy, Jacob, and Solomon---and four daughters. Timothy, the second son, and the father of the subject of this sketch, was born in Huntington, Jan. 28,1772. He first married Polly Brush, daughter of Zophar Brush, of Huntington. After her death he married Sally , daughter of Isaac Ketcham, also of Huntington. She died at Salisbury Mills, N.Y., April 10,1833. Later he again married, selecting for the third time a wife in Huntington,--Prudence Mather. Her decease occurred in 1864. His children were Zopher B., merchant of Huntington; Samuel, merchant of New York; Lewis, physician, of Owego, N.Y.; Isaac K.; Timothy, merchant, of St. Louis, Mo.; Jesse, manufacturer, of New York; Mary, who married Reuben Van Alen of Chatham, Columbia Co., N.Y.; and Sally W., who married Dr. John Vanderpoel, of Kinderhook, N. Y. .............to be continued. If this has already been put on the list please tell me as I wouldn't want to do this work for nothing. Best wishes, Donna
