Individual:
According to Jane G. Oakes, William moved to Pittsylvania Co in the late 1770s or early 1780
s and bought land next to Charles, 433 acres on the East Fork of Cascade Creek. He first appears on the Pittsylvania County Tax List in 1782 with a small family.
William's estate was settled by the October Court of 1819. He left a "Negro striker" in th e appraisal of his personal property so he may have been a blacksmith.
Carl Oakes feels that William was the first member of the Oakes family where there is enoug h evidence to prove direct descendancy.
Oaths of Allegiance - 1777 Pittsylvania County, VA copy done by Cynthia Hubbard Headen
source: The Magazine of VA Genealogy, v.23, #1 (Feb.1985), transcribed by Marian Dodson Chia rito
These lists were taken from a typewritten copy found in the Clerk's Office, Pittsylvania Coun ty, at Chatham, Virginia. The two following affidavits found attached to the copy are self- explanatory.
I, S. H. F. Jones, do hereby certify that about the year 1930 I personally copied and had che cked the names of persons who took the oath of Allegiance in 1777 as shown by manuscripts then in the Clerk's Office of Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The writing was faded and a few names could not be deciphered. Every effort was made to transcribe the names as they appeared on the manuscripts. The names of the foregoing Lists are a true and correct copy of the aforesaid manuscripts to the best of my knowledge and belief. The lists were also checked by Mr. Langhorne Jones, atty. Given under my hand and seal this 8th day of November, 1939. S. H. F. Jones (Seal)
State of Virginia Pittsylvania County, To-wit: I, E. E. Friend, Clerk of the Circuit Cour t of Pittsylvania County, Virginia, the same being a Court of Record, do hereby certify that Mrs. S. H. F. Jones whose name is signed to the foregoing writing bearing date 8th day of November 1939, personally appeared before me in my county, Office and State aforesaid and made oath that the foregoing statements are true to the best of her knowledge and belief. Given under my hand this 8th Nov. 1939. E. E. Friend Clerk Pittsylvania Circuit Court Chatham, VA
