I am interested in the Oakley family (however spelled; particularly Oakley, Oakeley, Okeley, de Okeley or other variations). In the U.S., my interests include the: Long Island and Westchester, NY Branches; also Maryland and Virginia.In the U.K., they include Shropshire and other Counties in England. A current research need relates to marriages of three different Thomas Oakleys to three Martha Sherwoods; all of the Westchester, NY branch.The literature reports three such marriages within a 25-year period starting in the late 1700s-- which seems highly unlikely. Other families of interest are the: Earl, Gayman, Kellogg, Langstroth, Lewis and Pfister families. My file of this currently approximates 9,500 persons and extends backward in time to the 1400s. I look forward to exchanging information with others on a no-charge basis if such information includes citations of its sources and especially if it includes biographical or other notes as well as usual vital statistics. This file was updated July 12, 2001.
