"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 cgroff@att.net I will send you the list of Samuel's children.
