INFORMATION TAKEN FROM A COMPILED LIST BY DELLA OAKLEY MORRIS DATED 1 OCTOBER 1983

Thomas Oakley

The progenitor of the Oakley families in Sevier County, Tennessee was Thomas Oakley. Thomas Oakley was born 1777 in Granville County , North Carolina according to the 1850 Federal Census of Caswell County, North Carolina. No data has been found on his parents.

It is strongly believed that this Thomas Oakley was named for his grandfather, Thomas Oakley who died before 8 May 1773 (date of inventory) in Granville, North Carolina.

Thomas Oakley was married 2 Aug. 1803 in Person County, North Carolina to Parthenia Van Hook, daughter of ________. Parthenia was born circa 1777/1784 in Caswell County, North Carolina and died circa 1820 in Caswell County, North Carolina.

Thomas Oakley and his wife Parthenia Van Hook were listed in the 1810 Federal Census of Person County, North Carolina. There were four children (Leonard Henderson, Nathan, Susannah and Biddy) born between late 1803 and early 1810.

His wife Parthenia Van Hook died prior to 1820. Thomas Oakley was listed with five sons and three daughters in the 1820 Federal Census of Caswell County, North Carolina. Her burial place has not been located.

After Parthenia`s death, Thomas Oakley was married 16 November 1820 in Caswell County, North Carolina to Elizabeth Crossix (no data on her parents). Elizabeth was born 1793 in Ireland and died after July 1856 (date of Thomas Oakley`s will probated) in Caswell County, North Carolina.

Thomas Oakley and his wife Elizabeth Crossix were listed in the 1830,1840 and 1850 Federal Census of Caswell County, North Carolina.

Thomas Oakley wrote a will on 3 January 1851. This will was probated in July Court 1856 of Caswell County, North Carolina. It is transcribed as follows:
