My Taney County families are James and Rachel OLIVER who were in Taney by early 1830s, and the ARCHER family, which by the time they arrived in Taney, included mother Ann, and her children William, James Madison, Moses, Frances, Elias Thomas, Jane and Sarah. William Archer married Abigail Oliver who died early leaving him with several children, among them a girl named America. William, Ann, and Moses are later found in Jasper Co., Mo, and after that I have lost them. Frances Archer married John Oliver and remained in Taney Co., James Madison Archer married Lucinda Jane Oliver and moved to Tarrant Co., TX, Wise Co., TX, and Montague Co., TX where he is thought to have died close to 1900. All of these Olivers who married Archers were siblings and children of James and Rachel Oliver. James and Rachel also had James Jr., Milton, Cynthia, Elizabeth, and Martha. I'm sure if I've left someone out, one of my cousins will remind me. I descend from James Madison Archer and Lucinda Jane Oliver who came to TX by 1852. At least three of their children later went on to Indian Territory (now Grady Co.,) in OK. Their son, Robert Lee Archer donated land at Bailey, near Marlow, for a school, church and cemetery. I know that the father of the Archer children was Elisha Archer and died in 1832 in MO. He fought in the Black Hawk Indian Wars. He was born in TN and his father in VA, but I can't find ties back to TN or to the many Archers of VA. Is anyone else researching this family? Ida
