Notes for Francis ? Oxley
Estimamos que fuera este el nombre correcto. Francisco Oxley (su hijo, que emigro a Uruguay) da como nombre de su padre en un documento el de Francisco Medina Oxley (algo improbable, ya que Francisco era Ingles, sin relaciones en Uruguay...) Parece que el hijo cambio de nombre por venir a Uruguay escapado, por temas de pirateria.
Entraria dentro de lo comun para estos casos, usar el apellido Medina para “legalizarse” y el Oxley para mantener la relacion con el nombre original.
Recordemos tambien que Charles Braithwaite se cambia de apellido al heredar de su tio (cuyo hijo, heredero natural, habia fallecido) tierras y el escudo de armas, si este seguia el apellido Oxley.

Por lo pronto, dejamos expresa constancia de que la relacion de aqui para arriba con los Oxley de Rippon Hall es apenas sugerida, segun datos e informaciones sueltas, algunas provenientes de la familia Oxley (Vanessa) A esta fecha, no hay nada que pruebe la misma tal como la proponemos aqui, solo hemos seguido a los Oxley de Rippon Hall y armado su arbol, por si esa relacion se confirmaba.
Abril 2003, Responden de que no encontraron en Paul, Cornwall, rastros del citado casamiento. Estamos esperando copia de los films para confirmar.
Jun 2004, llegaron los films, no hay nada de lo buscado. Ni Oxley, ni Medina, ni Gruma o Groom.

THE FAMILY NAME OF OXLADE
The most ancient surname of OXLADE makes an impressive claim to being one of the oldest Anglo/Saxon surnames on record. The history of the name is closely woven into the intricate tapestry of the Ancient Chronicals of England.
Professional researchers have carefully scrutinized such Ancient Manuscripts as the Domesday Book (1086) The Ragman Rolls (1291,1296) The Curia Regis Rolls, The Pipe Rolls, The Hearth Rolls, Parish Register, Baptismals, Tax Records and other Ancient Documents and found the first record of the name OXLADE in Staffordshire where they were seated from early times and their first records appeared on the early Census Rolls taken by the Kings of Britain to determine the rate of Taxation of their subjects. Many different spelling were encountered in the research of the name although the name OXLADE occurred in many manuscripts and documents, from time to time the surname was also officially spelt OXLEY, OXLY, OXLEIGH and these variations in spelling frequently occurred between father and son. Scribes and Church Officials often travelling great distances even from other countries frequently spelt the names they were recording as they heard it.
As a result the same person could find different spelling of the same name recorded in Birth, Bapismal, marriage and death certificates as well as other numerous records such as Tax and Census Records.
The Saxon race gave birth to many English surnames not the least of which was the surname OXLADE. The Saxons were invited into England by the Ancient Britons in the 5th Century. They were a race of fair skinned people living along the Rhine Valley as far North East as Denmark. They were led by Generals/Commanders Hengist and Horsa. The Saxons settled in the County of Kent on the South East Coast of England. Gradually they probed North and Westward and during the next 400 years forced the Ancient Britons back into Wales and Cornwall in the West, Cumberland to the North. The Angles on the other hand occupied the Eastern Coast, the South Folk in Suffolk, North Folk in Norfolk. Under Saxon rule England prospered under a series of High kings, the least of which was Harold. In 1066 the Norman Invasion from France occurred and their Victory at the Battle of Hastings, subsequently many of the vanquished Saxon land owners forfieted their land to Duke William and his invading Norman nobles. Generally the Saxons who remained in the South were not treated well under Norman rule and many moved Northwards to the Midlands, Lancashire and Yorkshire away from the Norman oppression.
This notable English family name OXLADE emerged as an influential name in the county of Stafordshire where they were recorded as a family of great antiquity, seated as Lords of the manor of Oxley and Estates in the Parish of Bysshebury in that Shire. By the 14th Century they had branched out to Yorkshire where they were seated at Ripon. By the 16th Century they had branched out into Lancashire. Their present Family Seats are at Queen Camel and Ripon hall. Notably amongst the family at this time was OXLEY of Ripon Hall. During the Middle Ages the surname OXLADE flourished and played an important role in the local affairs in the political development of England.
During the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th Century central England was ravaged by plagues and religious conflict. Puritanism, the newly found political fervor of Cromwellianism and the remnants of the Roman Church rejected all non-believers, each promoting their own cause. The conflict between church groups, the Crown and political groups all claimed their impositions, tithes and demands of the rich and poor alike broke the spirit of men and many turned away from religion. Many families were freely encouraged to migrate to Ireland or to the Colonies. Some were rewarded with grants of land, others were banished. Some families were forced to migrate to Ireland where they became known as the Adventurers for Land in Ireland. Protestant settlers undertook to keep with their Faith, being granted land previously owned by the Catholic Irish. They were known as the Undertakers. There is no evidence that the family name migrated to Ireland but this does not preclude the possibility of their scattered migration to that country.
The New World offered better opportunities and some migrated voluntarily, some were banished, mostly for religious reasons, some left Ireland disillusioned but many left directly from England, their home territory. Some also moved to the European Continent. Members of the family name OXLADE sailed aboard the huge Armada of three masted sailing ships known as White Sails, which plied the stormy Atlantic. These overcrowded ships such as the "Hector", the "Dove" and the "Rambler" were pestilence ridden, sometimes 30% to 40% of the Passenger List never reached their destination, their numbers reduced by cholera, dysentery, smallpox and typhoid. North America included amongst the first migrants which could be considered kinsmen of the surname OXLADE in a variable spelling of that family name,
Elizabeth OXLEY her husband Thomas and daughters who settled in Portsmouth, Va in 1820;
Thomas and Margaret OXLEY settled in Maryland in 1731;
William OXLEY settled in NJ in 1677.
From the port of entry many settlers made their way West, joining the wagon trains of the Prairies to the West Coast. During the War of Independence many Loyalists made their way North to Canada in about 1790 and became known as the United Empire Loyalists. Contemporary notables of this surname OXLADE include many distinguished contributors: General Walter OXLEY, Humphrey OXLEY, British Diplomat
During the course of our research we determined the many Coats of Arms granted to different branches of the family name. The most ancient Grant of a Coat of Arms was blue with 3 gold peacock’s heads. The Crest was a Peacock emerging from a Gold Crown. The Ancient family Motto for this distinguished name was TAM ARIS QUAM ARATIS "As well by alters sic as by ploughs"
Another description is:
ARMS - Azure three peacocks heads erased
CREST - Out of a ducal coronet or a peacock’s head proper
This information along with a Plaque bearing the Crest was purchased by Robert John OXLADE, Heywood, Great Manchester, England 12 April 1999.
De Vanessa: My ancestor was called Francis Oxley born July 13, 1788 in Romford, and his mother Elizabeth Charlotte Oxley, deceased the 21 of October of 1837, in the sub-district of St. Matthew; Bethanal Green- county of Middlesex. -
Ver tambien: Partida de Charlotte Oxley, quizas su hermana, segun el abogado de Uruguay.
Victor Oxley pone: Participa de las acciones en que Buenos Aires es tomada por los ingleses y su posterior perdida; también en 1807 de la toma de Montevideo.
En la retirada del ejército inglés, queda prisionero y es destinado al recóndito lugar de Barriga Negra, y una vez la orden de que los prisioneros ingleses sean devueltos para su retirada, deserta y se refugia por estos pagos. Se queda a iniciar una vida nueva en la Banda Oriental.
La familia inglesa de Francis (quien nació en 1790 en Dorchester y fue bautizado en la Iglesia de San Pedro en Dorset) estaba bajo la cabeza de Francis Oakley y su esposa Mary Coombs quienes se habían casado en la Iglesia de San Pedro en Dorchester, Dorset, Inglaterra; tenía como hermanos a Elizabeth (1789), Ann (1791) y Mary (1795). Su familia estaba familiarizada con el negocio de cueros y pieles en Hereford.

Notes for Maria (Spouse 1)
Mary Groom ? O quizas tambien Guma o Gumma, que es un apellido relativamente comun en Inglaterra...
Coombs?
En un interesante site sobre Old English dialects, encontramos que a fin de cuentas, ambos tienen el mismo origen:
“We should also learn that we use some really obsolete Anglo-Saxon words buried in other words. The words for man “guma” and “wer” are good examples. We have the words today in bridegroom – bride + guma and werwolf – man + wolf. Another one is “gar” which means spear. We have in garlic – spear + leek, a spear shaped leek, garlic”
http://www.tutorpal.com/Our_English/old_english/dchn_oe.html
O en http://www.etymonline.com/b5etym.htm:
bridegroom - O.E. brydguma "suitor," from bryd "bride" + guma "man," altered 16c. by folk etymology after groom "groom, boy, lad."
