Hello, I am new to the list and have been searching OAKLEY in and around Henrico Co, VA. The earliest I have for sure is Albert Jackson Oakley b. 1817 d.? married Margaret Haupth 1842 - marriage banns signed by William Oakley (surety) & Franic Hauth (consent). I believe this William is the same William who appears in Henrico Co about 1820-1850 census & the same on marriage banns for a William Oakley (John Oakley surety) and Parthenia Parker (Jeptha Parker ; consent) dated 1816. Albert Oakley & Margaret Hauth had four known children - Parthenia OAkley b. 1843 -age 7 on 1850 census- no data on her past 1870 census) William Judson Oakley b. 1847 d. 1932 (my line) Albert Jackson Oakley b 1850- (have his children) Nancy Oakley b 1855- (no data past 1870 census) Also connected in this family (thought I am not sure how) is Phillip Oakley & Mary Parker marriage banns 1805 - Jeptha Parker - consent William Oakley & Betsy May - marriage 1824 Phillip Oakley & Lucy Green -marriage 1828 Anne Oakley b. 1829 living in William Green's household 1850 census Robert Oakley b, 1825- possible same Robert Oakley of Erie PA William Judson & Susan Francis Oakley's children are : (not in birth order) William Ezekiel married Emma Shipman - niece to Albert Jackson (jr) wife (my line) Etta married William Rudolph -have children's name Cordelia married ? Allanson - have children's name Harvey married ? Howell - have children's name Ollie Judson married Nora Tyler - have children's name Dallas married Minnie Lee Fowler - have children's Linwood married ?- have children's Lilly married ? Gallahan - have children's name Edgar Wales married ? - have children's Wilbert married ? - have children's name Arthur married ? - have children's name. Herbert married ? Several other OAKLEY researchers and I believe these OAKLEYs are from the same branch as the OAKLEYs that migrate to Cumberland Co, and to TN. Also in looking at parish records, census indexs, and land records it appears that the OAKLEYs in the City of Richmond, New Kent Co, James City Co, Prince George Co, Chesterfield Co, & Hanover Co,VA are connected. Theses areas incompass about a 50 mile radius now and back then.---I just got to find the connection! Any data I have- I am more than willing to share- I have made a web site for the OAKLEY surname that list tibits of info and the source by type (census, will, marriage banns etc.) also there are several links to other states and a few family outlines. Please drop by and take a look and consider having your data posted. I am currently working up the wonderful information Carol Holt has shared on the OAKLEY@ONELIST.COM mail list. It can be view though the archieve by members of the list which might be faster than I can work it up - Carol gets out a lot of info!. the site address is http://members.aol.com/oak6ley/page/index.htm Hope I can be of help and hope we can find that OAKLEY connection!
