OXLEY
Also, re OXLEY--the tombstone data I've collected so far is from Camden Co.
GA. I found it a few months ago when I was at Mt. Zion Cemetery near
Kingsland, GA.--was there to locate my Peeples/Norton graves, & did a
videotape survey of the entire cemetery for future reference. There is an
OXLEY family plot there with several old markers. The one for Elias G. OXLEY
caught my eye, it said: "born near New Bern, NC" June 2, 1835, d. Oct. 26,
1896. A number of our relatives are from the same area, but earlier.
Knowing family groups moved together, I was wondering if there could be any
connection with the OXLEY's. Our Sutton's & Melton's went to TX, but both
families were/are in GA--so maybe there could be a connection?
I have all the Oxley info on video, & have transcribed part of it, will be
glad to send you a copy. If you'd prefer, you can now find the same info on
the GENWEB/GA site at http://www.gate.net/~tutcher/cemetery/o.html--just look
under "O" of course:) It lists all surnames in Camden/Charlton Counties, GA.
Wish I had known about this before I spent all that time driving all over!:)
If you have a problem locating it, please let me know, will be glad to send
you a printed copy.

Surname: Oxley, Stoner, Simmons, Brownlee
I have a Harriet and George (abt. 1805) Oxley from Lenoir, North Carolina.
They were the parents of Stephen (our ggfather b. 1839 in Lenoir and wounded
in the Civil War - Co.A, 3rd Regt. North Carolina Infantry [later the 8d
Regt]), Raleigh (b. abt. 1827), George B., Charles (killed at Malvern Hill
1862) and Eveline. There may have been an Olive somewhere in the line,
but we are still searching that one. Our Stephen Oxley married Sarah Simmons
(b. abt. 1839) and they had a daughter, Harriet Olivia Oxley (b. July 1880
- d. Sept 1961). If any of these folks./names might be part of your line,
please let me know. Thanks, maggi.

Subject: ancestor search
I am sorry that I'm inquiring this way but I couldn't figure out the message
board deal. I have an ancestor by the name of Ruebin Oxley, ( I've seen his
name spelled a couple of different ways, this being the most common), that
I'm trying to locate. I have a military reenlistment of his dated 1817 from
Louisiana that say he was born in Lenoir County N.C. It also has his age as
21 years old. So that would put him being born around 1796 or 1797. I have
researched and researched but can't find anywhere in that area. I would be
happy finding an Oxley with a child named Ruebin but i've had no luck. I
found lots of Oxleys up your way and I'm sure they're kin to him somehow. I
just need to find out how. Bertie, Lenoir, Pitt, and Dobbs had the highest
number of Oxleys. Any help would be much appreciated. Even if you don't do
the research yourself a finger in the right direction would be wonderful.
Thanks, Scott Price!

Subject: Mewborn
Ms. Marble, my name is Dewayne Oxley. All of my descendants are from
Lenoir Co. N.C. Your wonderful submissions to the Lenoir site have
given me more information on them, than anyone could imagine. It seems
my descendants, the Byrds', the Oxleys', Daughertys', Parrotts, had
direct contact with the Mewborns'. Maybe you can help me with one
missing part of my ancestral puzzle. I know that the families mentioned
earlier, stayed together basically, and eventually settled in the
Neutral Zone between Texas and Louisiana. Sabine parish was portioned
off from Natchitoches parish in the 1840s. My GGG grandfather was Reuben
Oxley. He was born in Lenoir Co about 1797, according to his army
enlistment papers in 1817 in New Orleans, La. He was a professional
soldier until 1833, retiring from Ft. Jesup near Many, La. We've traced
all of his descendants from Reuben, but no one has ever found his
parents in Lenoir. I believe his father is George Oxley, Jr., son of
George Oxley. In all of your amassed information on Lenoir and it's
inhabitants from 1760 through 1800, have you ever come across Reuben
Oxley. I understand with all the submissions, you must be terribly
busy; but if you could see in your heart to help me, I'd be so very
grateful. Thank you ! Dewayne Oxley- 354 Evangeline Drive- Elm
Grove, La. 71051-9580, or La-z@webtv.net

    Notes for MARY JANE COX:
    MARY JANE COX is first shown as married to Davy Phillips on both her mother and father's wills. On Pitt County Deed Book TT Page 19 her husband is shown as Wilkes Oxley. We find a Wilkes Oxley b. April 3, 1834 d. February 17, 1880 buried in cemetery near Grifton. He enlisted in CSA 4-20-1861 Pvt in Co H 27th Regiment.

    NOTE: Mary Cox Phillips Oxley is buried in St. Johns Church Cemetery, Grifton, NC and Wilkes Oxley is buried in the Oxley Cemetery, Grifton, NC.

    NOTE: Mary is shown on Pitt 1850 Census in the house of David Phillips.
    There are older children in this house but one child is one year old. This
    I believe is a child of David and Mary. The others were by a first marriage.
