You guys just keep bringing up my ancestral lines. I am an Oliver descendant. Jane Oliver married William Henry Sheppard January 14, 1814, in Baldwin County, GA. They moved to Barbour County, Alabama - probably in the late 1830s. I have not really researched this line, yet, but I know that there were other Olivers in the area where they settled in Alabama.
