Annanias Oliver

Notes:

I just read your postings on Rootweb for Ananias "G" Oliver, son of Robert Oliver and Nancy [I've forgotten her maiden name] of Davidson Co-Williamson Co-Giles Co, TN., Limestone Co. AL and other Alabama counties] His son Robert settled part of his estate in Sabine Co. TX records.

Forgive me but I am attempting to recite this from memory.

Robert's family connections are George Oliver [Tyrrell Co NC, Davidson Co-Williamson-Giles Co, TN]
Frederick Oliver [Tyrrell Co. NC, Davidson Co. TN - died from wounds suffered in War of 1812]
Edward Oliver [Tyrrell Co. NC, Davidson Co. TN]
Roderick Oliver - [TN - Marshall, MS - TX]
Joseph Oliver - [Tyrrell Co-Washington Co, TN]

A Virginia Meader Cox LeMay researched this line many years ago. She is now deceased and I no longer have her lineage sheets. I do remember that Ananias had an older sister, Nancy who married a Birdsong, and a brother named Robert, who settled in Montgomery, TX. Robert JR. settled his father's estate which was quite extensive.

Robert Sr. is listed in my ancestor's will, placing Robert in charge of George's bequeath to his daughter Esther Oliver Croft filed in Giles Co. TN. Robert owned and operated an inn.

Also, Ananias' son's name is George G[reen] not George C. We, too, have two George Green Oliver in the family. George Oliver Sr.'s two youngest sons, Zebulon Sr. and William Hugh, named sons George Green Oliver.

Perhaps this will help you on your way to more discoveries.
