The surname Drew is an ancient. DREW English surname. It is. spelled also Drewe, Drews, Druce, etc. According to the English pedigree of the Drew family of Yorkshire by Sir William Bethaun, Epster, the family traces its ancestry to Drogo or Dru, a Norman of noble birth, son of Wal- ter de Ponz and brother of Richard, ancestor. of the Clifords who accompanied William the Conqueror to England. Several tenants in chief of the name Drogo were in the Domesday Book and one of them had great possessions

(VIII) Richard Nickerson, son of Joseph Lathe Oakman, was born in Wendell, Massa- chusetts, January 20, 1818. He received his education in the public schools, and before he was seventeen years old was considered com- petent to teach. He taught his first school in Erving in the winter of 1834-35, and then attended the Franklin Academy at Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, for two or three years, thence going to Provincetown as principal of Union Academy, remaining six years. In the spring of 1846 he removed to Montague and purchased a farm. He continued to teach in the winter months until he had taught for a period of twenty-three years in the state. In 1850 he was first elected to the several offices of selectman, overseer of the poor, assessor and school committeeman, which offices he continued to hold for many years. The fol- lowing resolution was passed at the town meet- ing in 1876: "Whereas, R. N. Oakman, hav- ing been elected to the office of selectman of
the town of Montague for the twenty-seventh time, and having declined longer to serve the town in that capacity, Be it Resolved, That, as citizens of the town, we regret to lose the services of R. N. Oakman as chairman of our board of selectmen, in which position he has so long, so ably, and so successfully served the town, both as its counselor and financier-in a word, for the town as for himself ; and that this expression of our appreciation of his ser- vices be entered on the records of the town." In 1857 the pauper expenses of the town had become a great burden, and it was decided to establish a farm for the paupers. Mr. Oak- man was persuaded to take charge of this farm, with his wife as housekeeper and matron. During the first six years of their charge, the expenses gradually diminished until the farm had become self-supporting, and paid a profit besides. Mr. Oakman finally bought the property, which was in much better condi- tion than when the town first purchased it, and the town bought another. His successful work in this place was commented upon by the sec- retary of the state board of charities. In 1877 Mr. Oakman bought a fine residence in Mon- tague City, and his son took charge of the farm. He was a member of the state legisla- ture in 1853. and served one term as county commissioner. He was president of the Crocker National Bank twenty-five years, and one of the directors of the Turner's Falls Company. He died September 6, 1895. Mr. Oakman was always counted on the side of radical reform, and, although positive in his opinions and not backward about expressing them, he had very few political enemies. He was especially interested in the education of the young. He was an advocate of total absti- nence and was an anti-slavery man. He mar- ried, August 10, 1841, Julia P.
