Note: A posting by Teresa Speer in 2008 states Thomas had sons Harrison Moore Oliver, Thomas and William Ruben & 2 daughters with wife Elizabeth Moore. She states these records came from a Mrs. Martha Oliver but were not rechecked. Linda Oliver obtained Estate Papers from Will Book II in Halifax County, VA that suggests that Thomas A. Oliver left behind 5 orphan children by about 1817. Elijah A. Newbill was the guardian of these 5 children: Harrison Oliver, Mary Oliver, Nancy Oliver, Thomas A. Oliver, Rubin Oliver. "Rubin Oliver to E A Newbill as guardian Dr. To board clothing and tuition so long as I have had him which has been 15 years 525.00 At a Court held for Halifax County the 22nd day of Oct 1832 The within written account current of the orphans of Thomas A Oliver decd....." 1820 Virginia > Halifax > Meadsville > 20 Elijah A Newbill - - - - 1- // 1 - 1 - - // + slaves 1830 Virginia > Halifax > Not Stated > 107 Elijah A Newbell - - - - 1 - 1 - - - - - - // - - - 1 1 - 1 - - 1 - - - // found by Linda Oliver in Feb. 2012: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tnlincol/geneal/oliver.htm#VA My (Sheila Schmutz) interpretation of this posting by Dr. Ward Oliver is that he reviewed LDS microfilms of some will books from Halifax Co, VA and found "In book 32, p 546, Oct 1816, Nathaniel Barksdale and William Oliver made oath to administrate the estate of Thos A. Oliver, dec'd, Thomas Moon and John J. Oliver their securities. This was very near the end of book 32. " [I wonder if that could be Thomas Moore, a possible relative of Elizabeth Moore who is/was the mother of these children?] "In book 35, p 279, August 1819 there is a suit: Harrison Oliver, Thomas Oliver, and Reuben Oliver by their guardian William Oliver vs Mary Oliver and Nancy Oliver infants by their guardian Francis Moon". 1840 United States Federal Census > Virginia > Halifax > North District Harrison Oliver - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - // - - - - - - - - - - - - - - // 1850 United States Federal Census > Virginia > Halifax > Northern District 828 831 Harrison M Oliver 40 M Farmer $2300 VA Mary B 34 F VA Martha E Oliver 12 F VA William T Oliver 11 M VA Patience A Oliver 9 F VA John J Oliver 5 M VA Richard H Oliver 1 M VA
