  • Notes 
    • Phoebe Anne Mosey, "Annie" was born to Quakers from Hollidaysburg, Blair County, Pennsylvania, Susan Wise and Jacob Mosey, on 13 August 1860. The couple had moved to a rented farm, which they would later buy on mortgage and pay off with Annie's hunting income, around 1855.

      She was born in a log cabin and grew up in poverty; after her father froze to death in a blizzard, she helped support her family by hunting.

      Around age 13, she was sent to live and work as a mother's helper to another family, where she endured both mental and physical abuse, instead of garnering wages as were promised. She never gave the name of the family, but instead referred to them as "the wolves.” She took the Oakley name possibly after a man who had paid her train fare when young and trying to escape “the wolves.” [1]
