Dr. Hilliary Lucian Oliver’s mother was MAHALA (not Martha) Lewis Oliver. She is my great great paternal grandmother.
Hi Virginia – thanks for the correction! This information was directly transcribed from a 1911 book and it takes family members like you to help make needed corrections. Thanks again!
Virginia-do you have any family history from the Olivers prior to Hezekiah’s? He is my mom’s great great grandfather and I’m trying to trace our family back to Scotland/Ireland. Would love any info you have. Thanks!
