This is the genealogical trail of the Texas Oliver Family between 1678-2007 based on many documents and family stories. The personal stories set the scene for interest and curiosity. This Oliver story shows many different families over the centuries. The families migrated from England to Texas and populated several states in between. The families participated in the American Revolution, Texas Independence, the War Between The States, and most modern wars. The patriotism displayed was on a volunteer basis and based on fighting for freedom. This book uses James Bryant Oliver (1823-1903) as the lynch pin for his descendants and ancestors.
