Biography
This profile is part of the Oaks Name Study.
Isaac Oakes was born on May 13, 1760 in Louisa, Colony of Virginia, son of John Oakes (1735–~1796).[1] He was one of two sons born to John & his first wife, her name is unknown.
Isaac joined the Revolutionary Army at age 16. He guarded prisoners in Albemarle County, Virginia.
Isaac (19) married Lucy Wisdom (22) (born on December 31, 1757 in Orange County, English Colony of Virginia; daughter of Francis Wisdom and Ursula (Bell) Bolling) in 1780 in Orange County, VA. Their children were:
- Jonathan Oakes (1781–1859)
- Nancy Oakes (1782–1837)
- Isaac Oakes (1797–1885)
- James Wilson Oakes (1800–1885)
- Alender Alvira Oaks (1809–1874)
Isaac was a private in the Virginia Militia from 1776-78.
Around 1790, Isaac moved his family to Oglethorpe County, Georgia. "Brother Isaac & Sister Lucy" became members of Antioch Baptist Church in Stephen, Georgia, soon after it was organized. Isaac was excommunicated for the "sin of drunkeness". He later moved his family to Perry County, Alabama, where he made his first land purchase in 1821. Isaac & Lucy were part of a group of several families that left Antioch Baptist Church in about 1820 & settled in Perry County, Alabama.
At the age of 74, he enrolled for his pension on October 29, 1833 in Perry County, Alabama. At that time, he was a widower, and residing with his son, Isaac Oakes, Jr.
Isaac died on November 1, 1844 in Perry, Alabama, United States, aged 84.[1]
