As for the Oakwood line, I have 53 differ Oakwoods from Henry Eich Holtz the first Oakwood to come to America from Germany, here is his story
"Traditions of the Oakwood Family, Henry 1st - About 150 years ago a young man came from Germany to America and settled in Virginia. His name was Henry Eich Holtz. In Wortemburg, Germany, the Eigh Holtz's were very numerous and after Henry had been here a while, he translated the name into English. Eich - Oak; Holtz - Wood, therefore, the name Oakwood, by which this large family is familiarly known. Henry Eich Holtz was probably the first and only one who translated this name. The Oakwood family of five generations are direct descendants of this Henry Oakwood. Note: The Traditions and the History of the Oakwood Family, pages 1 through 4a, were taken from the information compiled by Harvey and Eva Hull Oakwood in 1916.
And here is the story of one of his sons
Henry, 2nd, when about 20 years of age made a trip to Ohio, on horseback, doubtless to look at the country. He bought 100 acres of land, four miles from Georgetown, the County Seat of Brown County. The Hickman and Oakwood children moved to Ohio about 1812, some of them settling across the river in Kentucky. Henry Oakwood, (2nd) married Margaret Remley, in Bracken County, December 24th 1810 and settled in Brown Co, OH. While Henry and Margaret Remley Oakwood were living in Brown Co, OH, the War with Great Britian broke out, and after the battle of Tippecanoe, the British and Indians retreated North into Canada. Another battle was expected and reinforcements were needed. Governor Shelby of Kentucky recruited several regiments and calvary and August 19th, 1813, Henry Oakwood volunteered and was a Corporal in Captain James Armstrong's Company, 4th regiment, Kentucky, mounted Volunteers, and the regiments marched through into Canada, and was at the Battle of Thames, where the noted Indiana Chief Tecumseh was killed and the British and Indians were defeated. he was musted out November 3rd, 1813.
20 years later Henry Oakwood and family moved to Illinois and bought some land one and one-fourth miles South of Oakwood in Vermilion Co, North of the Salt Fork River. During the winter of 1833-34 they built a double log house where they lived for many years. Other land was bought until they owned 300 acres. The family lived on this tract of land until the death of Henry 11/4 1855.
Henry Oakwood opened his farm in 1833 and the beginning of the village of Oakwood was made. Henry Oakwood remained there the rest of his life.
I hope this little bit helps
