OAKES, GEORGE (1813-1881), pastoralist and politician, was born at Parramatta, eldest son of Francis Oakes and his wife Rebecca (d.1883), née Small. Educated by Rev. John Eyre and at Rev. Frederick Wilkinson's school, he early followed pastoral and agricultural pursuits and bought land within the nineteen counties in the 1840s with his brother Francis as partner. He lived near Goulburn for a time but made his headquarters at Parramatta, where he became a member of the District Council in 1842 and was active in getting a water supply for the town. He was on the committees of the local Benevolent Asylum and District Hospital.
