  • Notes 
    • In the 1850 Federal Census, Oliver 42, and Vincy 49, are living with five of their children at Meriden, New Haven Co., CT. In 1860 they are still there, with four children in the household.

      In the 1880 Federal Census, Oliver & his wife Olive are at Meriden, New Haven CT. He is a farm laborer and she is keeping house.

      From Kay Larsen, a descendant of Oliver & Vincy: "Oliver and his second wife, Almira, resided for a time in Branford, New Haven Co., CT, and he was still living there when he divorced Almira. At the time of the divorce, she was living in Meriden and apparently remained there until the end of her life. Oliver, at some point, returned to Meriden as he was living there when he married his third wife, Olive, and he shows up in the city directories until the time of his death."
