PREFACE

The Miles Oakley with whom this book starts was the son of John Oakley, a native of England. Due to similar coats-of-arms, John Oakley was probably the son of William Oakley, of Shropshire. If so, he also had a brother and grandfather named William.
Miles' mother's name is not known, but his father was probably a widower when he immigrated, and later married one Mary Van Nuyse of Staten Island, in 1662.
Miles also had a brother Thomas who was the ancestor of the Long Island Branch of Hempstead and Huntington, but that branch is not traced in this book. . . .
