Description: The Olivers were a slaveholding and planter family from Elbert, Oglethorpe, and Wilkes counties, Georgia. The first record of the family residing in Georgia dates back to 1779 when Dionysius Oliver, son of Thomas and Mary [McCarthy] Oliver of Petersburg, Virginia, moved to Wilkes County where he accumulated 5,000 acres of land, owned slaves, and built a warehouse for the inspection and storage of tobacco. Dionysius and his first wife, Mary Ann [Winfrey]Oliver had ten children. The fifth child, James (1767-1848), was a large planter from Elbert County, Georgia. James and his first wife, Mary [Thompson] Oliver had one child, Simeon, who migrated to De Soto County, Mississippi. James and his second wife, Lucy [Clark] Oliver had eleven children. Their fifth child was Shelton Oliver, (July 9, 1801 - September 12, 1870) who like other members of the Oliver family, was a planter and slave owner. In 1844 he purchased "Woodlawn," located in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, the former 1,200-acre estate of William H. Crawford (February 24, 1772 - September 15, 1834), who launched an unsuccessful bid for the Presidency in 1824, losing to John Quincy Adams. Shelton and his wife Martha [Williams] had at least three daughters. -- ------ SEE PHOTOS !!!
