You might be thinking why Robert Callard, the assembler of the Kin Book, would be concerned with the Oakes family. Robert was the son of John Weatherly Callard and Mary Orlana Pope. Mary was the sister of Delos Albertis Pope who was married to Laura Eliza Loomis.
Rachel Fidelia Pope and Robert Pope Callard were first cousins, but that’s not all.
Both John Callard and Laura Loomis were widowed, in Laura’s case twice.
Laura Loomis and John Callard later married each other in Summit, New Jersey. That wedding took place Laura’s daughter Fidelia’s home. This blending made Robert Callard a step-brother to the sisters Fidelia Oakes (Rachel Fidelia Pope) and Esther Wheeler (Esther Pope).
Robert’s genealogy is very much entwined with that of the Oakes family.
Mentioned: Laura Eliza Loomis, John Weatherly Callard, Robert Pope Callard, Delos Albertis Pope, Mary Orlana Pope, Rachel Fidelia Pope, Esther Pope.
