In 1860 he is found on KY tax rolls near the Tennessee state line owning a small farm and a horse. Then he disappeared from records only to pop up in the 1880 census just south of Indiana. He is listed as having a wife, Martha, age 35 and two young children, ages 6 and 2. The two year old was my grandmother. My grandmother married twice in Kentucky and moved to Indiana immediately prior to the birth of her second child in 1900. She never returned to Kentucky. Now, this family was secretive. My grandmother lived to be in her 90s and died without ever telling me her maiden name or who her parents were or where they were from. I only saw her for 2 days once a year so there was no actual chance of becoming better acquainted. One evening the old lady was conversing around the dinner table with other adults in a rather cryptic fashion when she ordered a great grandson who lived there to use the trap door in the floor of a bedroom and go down to the celler for something. When he returned he brought up a bundle of Confederate money which was shown to us before being again hidden below where, I overheard, there was also a Confederate uniform in a trunk. Years passed and the old lady ended up alone and senile. When her daughter (who'd lived with her all her life) died, she was told to sell the house and move in with less-than-scrupulous kin. The house was later torn down and the old lady died. At this point there is no one left who would know to whom belonged the Confederate uniform or money or when/where William Oliver died. The truck was likly thrown away in the 1960s. It is likely that William was of the family of Olivers from Danville, Virginia. If anyone has any information regarding the whereabouts of William Oliver during the Civil War, or where buried afterward, please post. Alix
