Ancestry Of Mary Oliver Who Lived Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Ancestry of Mary Oliver, Who Lived Here were but few among the early settlers of New England, Whose names passed away for lack of heirs male so soon as that of John Oliver of N ewbury and Whose genealogical history can therefore be embraced in so small compass. I know no good reason for believing him to have been a member of the family of the same name in Boston; on the contrary, it may be taken as certain, that there were five or six families of this surname in Massachu setts, no two of Which have been shown to have a common origin in England. I have long Wished to try to give a correct account of the life of my own ancestor, John Oliver of N ewbury; and the number of documents illustrating his English pedigree has seemed to me such as to warrant their appearance in this shape.
