The occupation of weaver or draper occurs
frequently enough that it is worthy of study. It may also tie
in to the family story that the OLIVERs who were ancestors of
Sir Thomas JACKSON came from the Netherlands where they had sought
refuge after fleeing from France and that they subsequently served
under King William at the time of the Battle of the Boyne
in 1690.

He assured David Wright, that he
might earn 40S. sterling a month by easy labour, and told Robert Oliver, who is a linen
weaver, that he would get a guinea sterling for weaving
a ten hundred piece of cloth, which according to the labour
of a good workman in linen of that sort, would produce above £100
sterling a year. It was likewise represented as a most powerful
and specious argument of persuasion that they would have neither
rent or tithes to pay in that country, and would live happily
from the time they landed there. SOURCE: Journal of the House of Commons of Ireland, vi 635. Cited
