    Jonathan Oak [#8], s/o Nathaniel Oak and Mary Holloway, b. Marlboro 21 Aug 1717, will dated 2 Dec 1784, probated 12 Mar 1785, m. (1) about 1740 Rebecca Barnard, m. (2) (int.) 19 Jan 1749 Elizabeth Wheeler, m. (3) abt 1751 Sarah Wheeler, m. (4) 23 or 26 Apr 1762 Abigail Rand. 16 children.
    [Note: the two eldest daughters named in his will, Mary and Lydia, are named in the will of their grandfather Robert Barnard, so clearly he married one of Robert's daughters, but vital records record the death of Rebecca 9 days after born, so it is not clear why this source identifies her as the wife. Even if she had lived she would have only been 16 when the first daughter was baptized, and this source suggests she might even a subsequent daughter Rebecca that would have to have been younger than that!]
