The Oakleys in America - The Long Island, New York Branch by David R. Oakley (Compiler) Special Edition Created for Eric Jones December 9, 2008 The Oakleys in America - The Long Island, New York Branch Introduction This is a genealogical study of a portion of the Oakley family -- however spelled, and over 60 alternatives have so far come to light. The family's roots are in Shropshire, England; some of the details of which are presented elsewhere. This particular study about the Long Island Branch is an update of an earlier, similarly named report by the writer in 1999. My sources of information are cited throughout. They will usually be found in the "notes" for each person. Otherwise they will be found in the material about their parents or grandparents. Although this approach presents some repetition in biographical references throughout the study, when looking up any given person the relevant references are conveniently at hand. This minimizes a need to page back and forth elsewhere for them. Along with many other sources identified throughout this study, the principal sources to whom I am however deeply grateful are these, without whom this study would not have been possible. They are: Mitzi Caputo, now deceased, former Executive Director, and Philip Behr, Trustee, of the Huntington Historical Society, Huntington, Long Island, New York, who most graciously made the considerable resources of that organization available to me at considerable length on several occasions some years ago. Richard Oakley Hunsaker, Kaysville, Utah, who graciously shared his painstaking, carefully documented and voluminous material about certain persons who, although documented as Oakley and related family members in Dutchess County, New York, have "Long Island Oakley" ancestors as well. David A. Oakley, West Jordan, Utah, who has also graciously shared his painstaking, carefully documented and voluminous work over the years on both the English ancestry and the Long Island Branch of the Oakley family. This material is produced using "Family Tree Maker" software. And although that software provides a professional appearance to the finished product, this work is limited in scope and may well contain errors and omissions introduced by me, the "compiler." I think that is an apt description of what I have done since my primary contribution has been that of organizing and presenting material developed by others rather than by performing original work to extend and expand knowledge of the Oakley family. As one reads through the main text, a sense of déjà vu may occur. Although I have not taken the time to trace the details, the records of some persons are actually "re-presented" on later pages because of intermarriages between cousins resulting in multiple relationships. I leave that investigation to others. 1 The Oakleys in America - The Long Island, New York Branch Any errors or omissions are my responsibility for which I apologize in advance.
