    3. Bill, I've been meaning to ask you if your Olivers are connected to the Johnson County Olivers. That is my line. My great grandmother was Lela Pearl OLIVER who married Tobie WELLS. Susan

    3. Hi Susan, Yes, but that branch I just learned about a year or so ago, so I don't yet know much about them yet. My line is from "Richy" who married Polly HARPER in Johnson county in ca 1855. Their son, James Nelson OLIVER married Sarah Malissa BENSON, daughter of Charles B BENSON and Martha Ann CRENSHAW Benson Whittenberg. Martha Ann was the daughter of the Frederick R CRENSHAW that I have from Massac county. Actually Frederick R CRENSHAW was born in New Madrid, Louisiana Territory. Maybe I can learn about my other OLIVERs now. The cemetery that I wrote about on Little Egypt Heritage was about the OLIVER cemetery just outside Vienna. Those pictures that I have up on the web site for Little Egypt are of that cemetery. I have some more history of these OLIVERs as they lived in Christian county, KY in the 1810s & 20s and then prior to that in the 96th District of South Carolina after the Revolution. They's Hollar folk.s The very best of the Scot-Irish! :) Bill Oliver -=- Susan & Del wrote: > Bill, > > I've been meaning to ask you if your Olivers are connected to the Johnson County Olivers.
