Elijah A. Newbill was the guardian of these 5 children: Harrison Oliver, Mary Oliver, Nancy Oliver, Thomas A. Oliver, Rubin Oliver.

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".
