Oliver Lines of Descent from Olivers in the Pale Blue Group
This web page was first mounted on December 8, 2009 by Sheila Schmutz. sheila.schmutz@usask.ca and updated on October 31, 2010. This is a private webpage that is connected to the Oliver Y DNA Project of Family Tree DNA. Please address corrections and additions to her. If you wish to correspond with other participants whose lines are shown, she will forward your message to them.
This webpage focuses only on the men who are highlighted in Pale Blue or Group 09, among the many Oliver men who have been tested thus far. By December 8, 2009 there were 2 men who matched in this group, at 25/25 markers. The detailed data on their markers appears on the Oliver Y DNA project homepage under Y-DNA results.
The genealogy for one man in this group has been sent in. His line is shown in the chart below. If others wish to share their line of descent, those will be added.
Note that the names of the participants and their Fathers are not shown to protect the privacy of the individuals. If individuals do not wish their line to be shown at all, please contact me and I will respect your wishes.
Many Oliver families lived in Moore Co, NC from 1790 onwards. Willis Oliver, Sr., born before 1760, was there as early as 1790. Alfred Oliver, was born about 1755, but does not appear until the 1830 census. Others include Willis Oliver, Jr., Richard Oliver, Aaron Oliver, William Oliver, James Oliver, Reuben Oliver., David Oliver, Moses Oliver. Were they all related and if so, how? Participation in the Oliver Y DNA project by descendants of these other men could help determine if they are related, at least.
