I have no idea where this branch of OLIVERs
fits in. It may be of interest that Eliza OLIVER, mother
of Sir Thomas JACKSON was married at this church and both her
parents would have been already dead by then, so she may have
been staying with relatives and it may have included this family.

Also of interest, a Samuel OLIVER (1843-1917)
lived at Ardaghy, Co. Monaghan and worked as a tailor with his brothers.
He was a Precentor at Cahans Presbyterian Church for 49 years. His
wife was Ann MEHAFFEY. The name MEHAFFEY shows up in flax records in
1766. They had at least 3 sons: John, William and James Samuel
and one daughter, Sarah Ann Mehaffy OLIVER.
