Oakley was born in 1843. Oakley was the child of Willis Farris and Jane Collins.
A descendant of Willis, Marvin Farris, said he thought Oakley's first name was Benjamin, but the census records him as Oakley so Oakley is used as the preferred name on his profile page.
Oakley was enumerated with his parents and siblings in the 1850 census of Hancock County, Alabama.
