| WILLIAM F. OLIVER AND MARY VENABLE
MARRIED 1814 SAVANNAH, GEORGIA And Their Descendants Compiled by Sandra Oliver Becker ORIGIN OF THE NAME OLIVER1 The surname Oliver is derived from the Old French personal name Olivier. The Oliver surname (meaning "seller, or processor of olive oil") seems to be French Norman in origin. The Oliver family was a sept of the Scotland Highlands' powerful Fraser Clan and was a very powerful clan themselves in Roxburghshire and the Borders area. It arrived in Scotland and Ireland in the 14th century. This Old French name was introduced to Scotland and Ireland by the Normans2. During the Middle Ages, it was a popular name throughout Europe. It was borne by one of Charlemagne's paladins, and friend of Roland. Ostensibly, the name is said to derive from the Latin olivarius, meaning "olive tree" However, all of Charlemagne's paladins bore Germanic names; and the Latin derivation of the name may be a result of folk etymology working on an unidentified Germanic personal name, possibly a cognate of Álvaro; or possibly distantly connected with the Old Norse Óleifr, meaning "ancestral relic". Perth The Catalan and (Occitan) French surname is a topographic name. It is derived from oliver (pronounced [uliˈβe, oliβe, oliˈve(ɾ)]), meaning "olive tree". It may also be related to the homonymous name listed above. Some of the Oliver family who moved to the United States, ended up moving to Vermont, Michigan, and Florida. Scottish surname Meaning: "Bearer of the olive branch" or "Ancestor", Origin: Scottish Borders, Original Language: Latin or Scandinavian, Related Names: Olivier Many Scottish people with the surname Oliver are descended from the Oliver family that settled in the Border area of Scotland and England by the middle of the 13th century. By the beginning of the 16th century, they had become a kinship group in which all its members bore the same surname of Oliver3 INTRODUCTION By Sandra Oliver Becker I am not the type of family researcher who is easily satisfied with a neat family tree with names, dates and places. I want to know more. I want to know the history of the families they and their descendants intermarried with, I want to know the history of the areas where my ancestors lived. I want to know who their neighbors were. All of that information tells me what kind of people they were associated with. If they intermarried with hard working farmers they were more than likely hard working farmers themselves. If their neighbors were the social elite, then it is likely that they were part of the social elite themselves. If there was an epidemic in their area at the time they died, it is likely the epidemic was the cause of their death. If there was a war during their lifetime, it is likely that they either fought in that war, supported that war, were affected financially by that war or lost family members from that war. All of this information tells me more than bare, dry facts ever can. I can visualize the lives of my ancestors, their siblings, their descendants and how my immediate family came to be who they are. I have spent a large chunk of my life trying to find the ancestors of John William Oliver, the father of my grandfather, Edgar Ray Oliver. It has not been easy. I think that it is now time to put what I have found out there and let other researchers break down the brick wall I have come against. This is not just the story of one family, it is a part of the history of Georgia and Florida as well. I grew up hearing a slightly biased history of the South. When I was born, my family lived in Atlanta and I was raised with the romantic “Gone With The Wind” version of dashing Confederate soldiers, beautiful Southern belles, happy slaves who were loyal to their masters, and cruel heartless Yankees. I wondered about my ancestors’ part in this history. Were there brave men in gray hanging on my family tree? I wanted to find a Scarlett O’Hara and a Rhett Butler somewhere in my own family history. The curiosity about my ancestors intensified when I was expecting my first child. I wanted to know who they were and how they lived and what they did and what they experienced in their lives. I wanted to pass along a legacy to my unborn child. Is this curiosity a genetic thing? Are we hard wired to seek out the past to preserve for the future? I asked my paternal grandparents about their lives. My grandfather was Edgar Ray Oliver who had been born in 1891 in Macon, Georgia. I learned that my grandfather’s father had been John William Oliver and his mother had been Inez Stowell. John William Oliver had been a railroad engineer who had the Savannah to Macon route. After he retired from the railroad, he had moved from Macon to Atlanta and operated a grocery store. But, my grandfather did not know who his paternal grandparents had been. He said that his father had not talked about his family much. Possibly because his father was orphaned at age 12. I sought out others who were researching my family, cousins and second cousins, to help me find out the rest of the story. My daughter inherited this curiosity and joined in the hunt for facts. After decades of passing information around back and forth, we all know more about our ancestors and their origins. The death certificate of John William Oliver was filled out wrong. When his daughter filled out the form, in the blanks where she should have put his parents, she put her own: John William Oliver and Inez Stowell. This put a real halt on trying to find out who his parents were. The Stowell Genealogy by William Henry Harrison Stowell states that John William Oliver was born in Traders Hill, Georgia. My father’s cousin4 gave us a family group sheet with his birthdate as 1853 and his birthplace as Florida. We knew he had the Savannah (Chatham County) to Macon railroad route as an Engineer so we went to Savannah records and found a John William Oliver on the 1870 census as age 17, apprentice RR engineer b. Fla. with sisters Addie and Willa both age 22 born in Florida. They were living in the same household as G. Pardue and his wife. Then, we found a James W. Oliver in the 1850 Hamilton County, Florida census with daughters Laura, Mary, Leadonus A. and Willaminer (twins with the right birthdates for them to be the Addie and Willa on the 1870 Savannah Census). Then we found a James W. Oliver 1822-1865 in Gravel Hill Cemetery in Pooler, Chatham County, Georgia. A trip to Gravel Hill Cemetery found James W. Oliver in the same cemetery plot as William F. Oliver (d. 1854 age 64), Mary Oliver (d. 1860 age 60), and Stephen Oliver, Georgianna Oliver (17 months) and two unnamed infants. Nearby was the Box family and the Cook family. Chatham County marriage records have a William Oliver who married a Mary Venable in 1814. 1850 Census records have both William F. Oliver and Mary born in NC. I remember the day I discovered Gravel Hill Cemetery. I had known that it was located in Pooler, Georgia. On a trip from Florida to North Carolina, I noticed a highway exit sign for Pooler and wrote down the exit number. On our way back, I would, no mights or maybes, I WOULD stop and see if I could not find the graves of my ancestors. I called a funeral home in Pooler and got directions to the Cemetery. We drove through the arched gate onto a dirt road shaded by huge moss draped oaks. I began to look for an Oliver monument and immediately saw a large stone with the name Oliver. This must be the right plot. I started at the Oliver marker and walked straight back and to the left. There was a small plot with three stones for my ancestors. William F. Oliver, Mary Oliver and James W. Oliver. The stones were dirty and hard to read so I went back to the truck to get some paper to clean them. Yes, these were my ancestors. My great-great grandfather James W. Oliver and his parents William F. Oliver and Mary. In the same plot were Stephen Oliver, Georgiann Oliver (age 17 months) and two un-named infants. Near-by was the Cook plot where James’ sister was buried with her husband’s family. Also close were Box family graves. When I started researching the Olivers’ buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, I called the Cemetery office. They had no records for many of the burials, but they did have the name of the monument company that had carved the stone for James William Oliver. Yes, they were still in business, but they had lost all their records in a fire in the 1920’s. The only record they had indicated that James William Oliver had been buried in a plot owned by the Boxxe family and they even knew descendants of this Boxxe family who still lived in the area. I called and introduced myself. I did not think that after almost one hundred and fifty years the Boxxe family would know anything, but it was as if it had happened yesterday. The woman who answered did know the name James William Oliver and verified that her family had owned the plot he was buried in. She also informed me that the Oliver family were a bunch of liars and cheats who never paid for that plot. In the South grudges die hard. Near the Oliver family marker is the Boxxe family marker. (changed from Box) One descendant of this Boxxe family married a descendant of William F. Oliver and Mary Venable in Generation Five. My generation is Generation six, so the Boxxe/Oliver descendant marriage was in my parent’s generation (bc. 1920 +/-). James William Oliver was the second generation (b.c. 1820 +/-) This book is the result of condensing thousands of pages of notes and research into a compact history of our known Oliver family. I have tried to find as many of the descendants of William F. Oliver and Mary Venable as I could and, I have tried to find out as much about these descendants as I could. This book gives an identification number to each descendent that I could find for William F. Oliver and Mary Venable. Not every descendant is identified or listed. The male descendants were easiest as they kept their surnames when they married, unless they died early and family history records do not list them. Sometimes it was difficult to find the descendants of a female descendants because they either died early and the event was not recorded or they married and the husband’s surname is not known. Unless there has been information passed down in a family, and then recorded, they will remain just a name of a child on a record somewhere or not even recorded and thus will remain unknown. WARNING: The information in this book is not gospel truth written in stone and unimpeachable. Sometimes transcribers of data goofed. Sometimes researchers get it all wrong. Sometimes old documents are not easy to read. I have tried to get it right, but someday may be proven wrong. Use the data here as a guide for your own research. I have included all my sources for research convenience. What is not known are the ancestors of William F. Oliver and Mary Venable. So far I have found two Oliver families that have coincidental evidence indicating they may be our ancestors. I cannot prove it as there is no proof

St. John's Church consecrated. 1854- Yellow fever outbreak. 13 According to Robert L. Usinger of the United States Public Health Service, “The years 1821, 1827, 1831, 1839, 1850, 1852, and 1853 each had a more or less severe [yellow fever] epidemic, the last three culminating in the sad year 1854 with 580 deaths and an unknown number of cases.”14 1854- Augusta and Savannah Railroad in operation (approximate date) 1855 - Young Men's Literary Association organized. 1858 - Old Harbor Light erected. 1859 - First African Baptist Church rebuilt. 1860 - Central of Georgia Depot built. “In November 1864, two months after capturing the city of Atlanta, General William Tecumseh Sherman and his army of 62,000 men began the march south to Savannah. They lived off the land and, by Sherman's own estimate, caused more than $100 million in property damage in Georgia alone. Sherman called this harsh tactic of material war "hard war" (in modern times this is known as total war). Sherman and his troops captured Savannah on December 22, 1864. Sherman then telegraphed his commander-in-chief, President Abraham Lincoln, offering him the city as a Christmas present. By 1870 three principal railroads—the Central of Georgia, the Savannah and Charleston and the Savannah and Gulf—connected the city to markets along the coast and the interior. The Central of Georgia, whose principal shareholder was the city of Savannah, established its own docks and canals to the west of the existing Savannah riverfront. This marks the first shift of industrial-commercial activity outside of the central plan of the city. The Savannah Cotton Exchange was established in 1876 and made its permanent home on Bay Street in 1883. The exchange was established to provide cotton factors, brokers serving planters’ interest in the market, a place to congregate and set the market value of cotton exported to larger markets such as New York or London. By the end of the 19th century factorage was on the decline as more planters were selling their products at interior markets, thus merely shipping them from Savannah via the extensive rail connections between the city and the interior. An additional railroad was built extending from the Drayton Street Depot out to Tybee Island in 1887. The rate, 1 cent per mile or 17.7 cents each way, enabled city dwellers to escape to the ocean and spend their newfound leisure hours at the beach on Tybee Island. This became the first commuter line from Savannah to an outlying area”.15 POOLER, GEORGIA During the Civil War, Pooler was a railway stop called Pooler's Station—the last stop before Savannah on the Central of Georgia Railroad. In December 1864, Pooler was a meeting place for Union officers led by William Tecumseh Sherman, who negotiated with Savannah authorities for the strategic port city's peaceful surrender. The city was named for railroad employee Robert William Pooler John William Oliver left Savannah for Macon (Bibb County, Georgia) before 1900 when he is shown on the Bibb County, Georgia census.

Some intermarried with descendants of William F. Oliver. All of them are related to descendants of William F. Oliver through these complicated intermarriages. FAMILY NAME (married/related to) BACKLEY (Metzger, Oliver) BARNWELL (Cheves, Oliver) BERRY (Metzger, Kennedy) BEVILLE (Scruggs, Strobhar, Brantley, Oliver, Herrington) BRANTLEY (Fountain, Strobhar, Ulmer, Harbuck, Oliver) CHEVES (Barnwell) COOK (Gould, Ulmer, Kennedy, Oliver) DUDLEY (Gilleland, Gindrat, Wisenbaker, Oliver, Treutlen, Kennedy) FOUNTAIN (Brantley, Oliver) GILLELAND (Ulmer, Dudley, Gindrat) GINDRAT (Gilleland, Wisenbaker) GOULD (Ulmer, Cook, Oliver) HARBUCK (Brantley, Sweat) HERRINGTON (Strobhar, Beville, Scruggs, Oliver?)

Remember that these families probably went to the same churches, belonged to the same social class, attended the same social events, attended the same family gatherings such as weddings, funerals, birthdays, etc. And, related families were the best place to find suitable spouses. Once someone married into a family, they were related to all the other families that their spouse was related to. The children of that couple had a list of ready-made “suitable” spouses to choose from. Using marriage data it is possible to determine which families may have been the catalyst for subsequent family connections. For Instance: 1778: Elizabeth Treutlen –m-William Kennedy 1783: Mary Treutlen –m- Edward Dudley I 1823: Guilford Dudley19 –m- Susan Gilleland20 1829: Dorothy Kennedy21 –m-John Metzger22 1830: Elizabeth Kennedy23 –m-Edward Dudley24 1836: Elizabeth Oliver25 –m-Gartin Backley26 1839: Frederick Backley27 –m- Louisa Metzger28 1840: Caroline Oliver29 –m- Henry K.

Because of the earlier Kennedy, Metzger, Backley, Oliver intermarriages, William Hardwick Kennedy probably knew Caroline Oliver and Elizabeth Oliver. Was Caroline Oliver’s marriage to Henry K. Cook in 1840 the catalyst for William Hardwick Kennedy’s marriage to Catherine Cook in 1841? When Catherine Cook died, he married Lenora Metzger who was already related to him through his sister Dorothy Kennedy who had married John Metzger, the cousin of Lenora Metzger CHATHAM COUNTY, GEORGIA RECORDS Lists names associated with descendants of Wm. F. Oliver and Mary Venable. Although many of the person(s) of similar names who were associated with the Oliver descendants may not have been in Chatham during the dates of these records, it is possible they could have had relatives in Chatham at that time and that is why they eventually moved to Chatham. 1820 Chatham County, Georgia Census Thos.

Mary Venable (?) Oliver died on June 4, 1860 and is buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery.67 GRAVEL HILL CEMETERY Former site of Alpha United Methodist Church. Alpha was organized by Trinity Methodist Church of Savannah, Georgia in May, 1841 as Alpha Mission. It is, as the name implies, the alpha, or first mission to be established by the rapidly growing congregation of the mother church, Trinity. In addition to providing the pastor for Alpha Mission, the membership of Trinity Church organized a Sunday School and provided materials until such time as the Sunday School could operate independently. Records show the first Sunday School Superintendent, Mr. Mathews Stone, donated the land for the church building which was located at Gravel Hill Cemetery. This was originally midway between Bloomingdale and Pooler on the south side of Highway 8068. Speculation on the father of William F. Oliver William F. Oliver’s tombstone has his death as in 1854 and his age at death as 64 so he would have been born in 1790. The 1850 Chatham County Georgia Census has his age as 59 born in NC. Using these dates as markers, we can say he was born in either 1790 or 1791. Depending on the actual date of his birth, he would have been either under 10 or 10-15 on the 1800 NC census records. Below are the NC Census records with children born within those date ranges.

In the early 1800’s the easiest method of travel would have been by ship. It is a possibility that Wm. F. Oliver or his family arrived in Savannah from a Coastal NC county. Of the coastal NC counties that had Oliver males in 1790 and 1800, there are Washington, Tyrell, Craven (parent County of Jones), Bertie and Onslow. However, since William F. Oliver married a Venable, there were Venables in Stokes, Surry and Lincoln Counties of NC. William F. Oliver could have been born in one of these counties as well. NAMES of Male Descendants: William F. Oliver had three sons that we know of: 1. James (named sons John William, Robert Joseph, James E), 2. John A (named sons John A, William Henry75, George B, Stephen H, Langdon Cheves76, Robert H.) 3. Stephen H. (died without issue) If these sons were named after ancestors, then we can further limit the NC counties where William F. Oliver may have been born. The names William, Robert, John, and Stephen appear to be repeated most. George and Joseph are also possible ancestral names, but any of these names could have come from the maternal side as well. If we eliminate the Counties already shown in YDNA tests, we find in 1800 census records: Stephen and John appear in the Oliver names of Johnston County, NC. John and Joseph appear in Craven County, NC. John is in Rutherford County NC, James is shown in Wayne and Onslow Counties. George is in Lincoln County, NC77. William is in Stokes County, NC78 If the family of William F. Oliver migrated to Chatham County, Georgia after 1790, they may have joined family members who were already there. Pre 1830 Georgia Oliver Records79 In 1790, according to: Early Georgia Settlers, 1700s-1800s The Reconstructed 1790 Census for Chatham County, Georgia Oliver, Francis; Oliver, Wm. Oliver, Jas. Tax Digest, 1790. Miss Oliver, 1806 tax list, p. 29 YDNA Three Oliver men (two descended from son James and one from son John A.) who are descendants of Wm. F. Oliver have taken the YDNA test. They match each other but do not have a YDNA match to any Oliver from the almost 200 men who have participated in the Oliver YDNA project. In fact, our Oliver YDNA participants have no match to anyone by any name out of the entire YDNA database. The Haplotype for the three Oliver men who are descendants of Wm. F. Oliver who took the test is I1, which is of Scandinavian origin. The Vikings raided and settled in many coastal areas of England, Scotland France, Germany, and other countries. Normandy is named after the “Norsemen” who settled there. Could Oliver be a Norman name and came to England after the conquest of 1066? Could Oliver be a Scottish name? The Orkney Islands of Scotland were settled by Norsemen. The surname Oliver is from Catalan, English, French, German and Scottish areas and is derived from the given name Oliver.80 THE ANCESTORS OF MARY VENABLE We do not know the parents of Mary Venable. If Mary Venable were born in NC in 1800 or c. 1800, she would be descended from one of these NC Venable families: Download 1.06 Mb. Share with your friends:
