Dear Jeanne,

I saw your posting on this group and your ancestor's name caught my eye.
I believe your Nickerson Oliver (1755-1807) is actually a son of
Nicholson/Nickerson Oliver who died in Caroline County, Virginia before
August, 1781 when his estate was probated there. This Nicholson Oliver
(most common spelling) was born abt. 1704 in King William County,
Virginia (said-to-be), s/o of John Oliver (1676-1748). His wife was said
to be a Durrett, but I have seen no proof of that yet. His children were
Richard Oliver (1732-1800), my ancestor Durrett Oliver (1734-1771), and
a Nicholas/Nickerson Oliver (1740-1807). Nickeson and Richard Oliver
were appointed to administer the estate of Nicholson Oliver, dec'd on
August, 1781. A Nickerson Oliver (possibly yours) was listed in the 1782
and 1787 Caroline County Tax Lists.

I have that your Nickerson/Nicholas Oliver married (1) Elizabeth "Eliza"
Durrett abt. 1765 and (2) Judith Holt on May 6, 1800 in Halifax Co., VA,
but that needs to be verified. A Nicholas and Betty Oliver were heirs to
the estate of John Durrett (widow named Catherine) in 1794 Caroline
County, probably your ancestors. I'd check Durrett family records to see
if you can find more clues. I haven't worked on documenting this family
yet. I've been working on documenting my Durrett Oliver family.
Incidentally, my Durrett Oliver named his oldest son Achillis "Killis"
Oliver (1766-1808).

I hope this helps and we find ourselves to be related.
