| James and Robert Oliver remained in Pennsylvania when their siblings headed west after the death of their parents Robert and Ellen Andrews Oliver. The families fell out of contact after the death of James and his son Robert Patrick Oliver, my grandfather. We are hoping that we will be able to find descendants of the brothers and their sister Ellen. |
