Derrell, always remember that the appearance of a name of a "passenger" - here, Robert Oakley - in a land grant does NOT mean that Oakley was actually "transported" by that patentee, ever worked for him, or even that the men ever met. Paul Since I only have the abstract from C&P Vol 1, thats all I could post about. Im trying to find a location for a Robert Oakley who was transported by Wm Gooch. Thanks, Derrell
