Author: Sheila_Schmutz Surnames: Oliver, Bradshaw, Pulliam Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.oliver/4657.1.2.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Happy Holidays! There are now 9 Oliver men who match with Y DNA in the "bright yellow" group on the Oliver Y DNA project. see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gaoliver/OliverLines.html for the suggested relationships among these men. Their ancestors are from Caroline Co, VA but they include Oliver families in Amelia County, Nottoway Co, Hanover Co, VA. The latest match descends from John Clemence Oliver, b. 1806 VA and died 1850 in Livingston Co, MO. He married Mary Jane Pulliam on 5 Dec 1827, in Prince Edward Co, VA. before moving to Brunswick Co, VA by the 1840 census. A Margaret Oliver married John J Pulliam on 14 Nov 1837 in Brunswick and appear on the 1840 census there. This seems coincidental, so I suspect that they may be related - siblings perhaps? A John Oliver married Sally Bradshaw on 2 Nov 1801 in Prince Edward Co, VA. Her parents were John Bradshaw and Margaret Clemments according to various postings on RootsWeb. I suspect that they may be the parents of John Clemence Oliver, and his middle name is derived from the surname of his maternal grandmother. Now......how does this John Oliver connect to the others??? Any information on any of the above persons is welcome! Sheila [email protected] PS More Oliver men in this line doing DNA is also welcome! The 37 marker sale at FTDNA ends tomorrow. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
