Obviously the Samuel and Jonathan Jr. Oliver named in the will were a generation or two down. You do have the right Oliver family because the Frazees were my Olivers cousins. My Rev. War Captain Samuel Oliver b. 1732 may have been the Samuel listed in the will. Charlotte Groff Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Philip Porter Abraham Clark Samuel Olliver Jonathan Olliver Junior Henry Norris I still don't have all the words figured out and I will have to get someone to proof read it for me, someone who has done early NJ wills etc. I am hoping someone from the NJ list I'm on will do that. I am asking a favor from the Essex Co board, if everyone would please look at the list of above names and see if any are recognized. The 'Daniel' above appears to have a surname starting with 'T', could be Tenill??? There is the 'T', then 2 or 3 short letters (no tails) and then 1 or 2 tall letters :) Note all the OLIVER names are sometimes spelled OLLIVER. Nothing is left to any of these names, they are either the previous owners of land that William Springer obtained, or witnesses. Again, the will doesn't mention any children, William leaves everything to his wife and church. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: Charlotte_Groff Surnames: Classification: biography Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.oliver/4681.1.1.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello Melissa, Since I come from Girtrude Oliver d/o Revolutionary War Captain John Oliver (great-grandson of Samuel), I have no idea if any of my male Oliver relatives have had a Y DNA test. "The Oliver Connection" by David Kendall Martin which appears in GENEALOGIES OF NEW JERSEY FAMILIES, Vol. I, pp. 625-626, lists the children of Samuel and some of his grandchildren. The name Springer does not appear in this article. Samuel's son Jonathan Oliver died at age 34 in 1733 and left a son Samuel b. 1732. Maybe??? Jonathan's wife's maiden name was Springer. Likely she remarried after Jonathan's death, but I don't know her maiden or 2nd married names. The article does say that Samuel's dau. Sarah was the 2nd wife of John Frazee, and Samuel's dau. Mercy was the 2nd wife of Edward Frazee. If you will email me [email protected] I will send you the list of Samuel's children.

You can write me privately if you want. I would like to be able to know if this OLIVER line is related to the same OLIVER line as the one of Margaret and Henrietta OLIVER, sisters who married David SPRINGER and Benjamin SPRINGER, brothers who lived in the Albany NY area in the mid 1700s.

Author: Melissa_Robards Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.oliver/4681.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Sure, Tim. If fact I will post it here once it's transcribed, or on the SPRINGER board. Remember it's a SPRINGER will. William and his wife Sarah appear to have not had any children, as no children are listed or grandchildren. William pretty much gives his wife everything to use and then it goes to the church they must have attended. I am really interested to know though what other documents in the area mention these three surnames together. What I'm trying to find is a connection between this William SPRINGER and who is possibly a related SPRINGER, Dennis, who was an adult by 1701-ish, and in the same location. Dennis is also tied somehow to the Frazee family. I would also like to find out if this OLIVER/OLLIVER family is related to the OLIVER family who married into a SPRINGER branch that was in early Albany NY. This might help tie the two SPRINGER branches together. It doesn't look like I'm be finding any DNA donors from William's descendents since it doesn't look like there are any. Would Essex County documents be in Trenton or more likely found somewhere else? Of course online would be great as I live in Nevada :) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
