I think this is the father of Rev. Josiah Oakes, but Rootsweb files claim the father was born in 1644 in Cambridge, Mass. Bay.

Notes

Barnstable Patriot obit:
Robert Cross O’Brien, 76

Brookfield, Conn. - Robert Cross O'Brien, 76, died Dec. 2, 2006.

He was the beloved husband of Margaret Hurley O’Brien.

Born on Cape Cod, he graduated from Barnstable High School and went on to graduate cum laude from Boston College in 1952. He graduated from Officers Candidate School in Newport, R.I., that same year, and was stationed in Sasebo, Japan, as a lieutenant in the Navy from 1953 to 1955. He then served on board the USS Mississippi from 1955 to 1956.

Upon leaving the Navy, Mr. O’Brien entered Georgetown Law School, and was a member of the board of editors of the Law Review. He graduated in 1958 with J.D. and LLM degrees.

He worked as an attorney at the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C., from 1958 to 1961. He then joined the law firm of Whitman, Ransom and Coulson in New York City, and became a partner in 1963. He led the expansion of the firm into Connecticut and was pivotal in several major firm mergers. He headed the corporate department, serving many international clients, including Cerveceria Polar and Avis Corporation, where he served on the board of directors. He practiced in New York City and Greenwich, Conn., for 39 years until he retired in 2000.

Mr. O’Brien is remembered for his intellectual curiosity, integrity, and love of life. He was a gifted singer, gourmet cook, writer, painter, and gardener, and he was a friend and mentor to many. Above all this, he was a natural father who weaved faith, humor, values and optimism into the fabric of his family.

In addition to his wife, survivors include his children, Meghan O’Brien, Christopher Cortis O’Brien, Sean Cross O’Brien, and Caitlin O’Brien; two brothers, Stephen B. O’Brien and Joseph M. O’Brien of Centerville; a sister, Margot O’Brien Carey of Sudbury; an aunt, Mary Cross O’Brien of Centerville; and 23 nieces and nephews.

A Mass was celebrated at St. John’s Church in Darien, Conn.

Memorial donations may be made to any of the following organizations: AmeriCares HomeFront Inc., making quality of life repairs for low-income residents (88 Hamilton Ave., Stamford, CT 06902); The Child Guidance Center of Greater Bridgeport, providing for the emotional and psychological welfare of children and their families (180 Fairfield Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06604); or Project Place, providing employment training for people coming out of homelessness (32 Rutland St., Boston, MA 02118).
