OAKES, FRANCIS (1770-1844), chief constable, was born on 15 April 1770 at Foleshill, Warwickshire, England. A shoemaker by trade and a member of the Congregational Church, he volunteered as an artisan missionary to go to the South Seas in the Duff in 1796. He was stationed at Tahiti and was one of those who decided to leave the mission with Rev. James Cover. On arriving in Sydney in 1798 he accepted a grant of 100 acres (40 ha) at Dundas and virtually abandoned his missionary vocation. He was one of the missionaries referred to by contemporaries as having dishonoured his calling by moral defection, though he later supported religious work in the colony.
