Nelson and Mr. Gregory Oakes. Mr. Nelson is now deceased. I first knew of Gregory Oakes when, on a visit to St. Mary's, Cratfield with my father, Freeman Barber, in the early 1990's, I saw that a Gregory Oakes of Elora, Ontario had signed his name in the guest registry just prior to our own visit there. Naturally, I looked up Gregory on returning to Canada and we were able to exchange many pictures and much useful information on our families as they intersect.
