• Notes

  Eliphalet and Mehetable had eight children. 5 boys and 1 girl born between 1774 and 1790, and 1 boy and 1 girl born between 1796 and 1801 according to the US Federal pre-1850 censuses. Additionally, Eliphalet had a child out of wedlock with Elizabeth Carpenter while still married to Mehetable as documented in Eliphalet's Bond of Indemption to the Town of Huntington. According to Early New England newspaper clippings, in 1809 Miles (age 20, b.1790), Mercy (age 17, b.1793) and Hannah (age 11, b.1798) drowned at sea when a small sailboat was upset going across the bay from Babylon, Long Island to the South Beach. Three gravestones of Oakley children remain standing in 2016 for Epenetus (b.1781) , Ezra (b.1788) and Nathaniel (b.1796). In Ezra Oakley's journals, he mentions his brother Peleg (b.1790) who was two years young than himself. Eliphalet Oakley II (age 64, b.1786) was living in Suffolk, New York according to the 1850 US Federal census. Selah Oakley (age 20, b.1784) married Matilda Brush in 1804 in Suffolk, New York and was living in Suffolk, New York according to the 1810 US Federal census. Ezra Oakley's patriarchal blessing states his birth date (b.1788) and the names of his parents, Eliphalet and Elizabeth. Consequently, the children of Mehetable are as follows: Epenetus b. 1781 Selah b. 1784 Eliphalet b. 1786 Miles b. 1790 Peleg b. 1790 Mercy b. 1793 Nathaniel b. 1796 Hannah b. 1798 Elizabeth's child is Ezra (b.1788)
