The OLIVERs that I am related to seem to have first settled in and around Armagh in the mid-1600s. Our oral family history alleges that they were Huguenots. This is likely, but cannot yet be proven. A link to Huguenot resources is at Family Search.

Olivers of Ballyrea, Ballinahonebeg & Killynure, Co. Armagh This is the most up to date tree of the OLIVERs of Farmacaffley, Ennislare, Ballyrea, Killynure, Brootally and elsewhere. This tree includes the five
earliest generations of OLIVERs known to have resided in Co. Armagh who are directly connected to my family line. Details of this tree, including sources, can
be seen on line at Rootsweb silverbowl tree. Not updated since 2017.
January 20, 2012 - an updated version in a different format. WARNING - not updated, although includes more detail than the tree above. This four generations of OLIVERs start in Armagh in the late 1600s and connect to my great-great grandmother, Eliza OLIVER, the mother of David JACKSON.
William OLIVER & Elizabeth HARDY.WARNING - not updated, although includes more detail than the tree above. The first 6 generations of William OLIVER and Elizabeth HARDY. Oral history places them in the area near Ballynahone before the Battle of the Boyne. This makes it exceedingly likely that they were related to the other OLIVERs who show up in the region in the 1670s. Oral history dating back to the mid-1800s also claims that they were Huguenots. This makes it likely that they settled in Ireland sometime around the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. |

OLIVERS starting in Tattykeel, Co. Tyrone and SherranmcAghully in Co. Armagh in the mid-1600s. This tree starts with three alleged brothers. I would caution readers to take the first few generations of this OLIVER tree with a grain of salt. It is my first serious attempt to begin to make some sense of this line. Outline added June 10, 2017.
NOTE: June 29, 2017. As I started to revise, and include new data, I realized that some assumptions in this tree have to be incorrect. It will take more work to correct them. In the meantime, please use with caution.
OLIVERs of Mullinture are included in the Tattykeel line of OLIVERs, but my older version of the tree from 2007 still has some merit because of the compilation of deeds research. More recently, I have been rethinking the references to the townland of Tullymore. In this line of OLIVERs, it is more likely to be the townland in the parish of Eglish, Barony Tiranny. |

Olivers of Lismullydown, Co. Tyrone In this family tree, I am absolutely indebted
to the research done by Harry Nicholson in his History
of the OLIVER family, Lismullydown and Stragrane, Co. Tyrone. As well
as the work of Maria Beattie. NOTE: In the 1796 Freeholders Records, there was a James OLIVER and a Mark OLIVER both at Lismulladown, Aghalow, Co. Tyrone; a Robert OLIVER at Aughasllagh, Aghalow. |

Family Tree of OLIVERs of Urney-1 This is a family of OLIVERs who were based in the Parish of
Urney, Co. Tyrone for at least 100 years. They earned their living as farmers
and tradesmen. They were also generally associated with the Church of Ireland,
and are not to be confused with a nearby family, also of the Parish of Urney,
who were Presbyterian. To confuse things even further, this other family was
connected to another James OLIVER (abt 1807-1892). Updated April 14, 2019
Family Tree of OLIVERs of Urney-2. A family tree relating to James OLIVER (abt 1807-1892) of Urney, and Magheracreggan, Co. Tyrone. This family was generally associated with the Presbyterian Church,
and are not to be confused with a nearby OLIVER family, also of the Parish of Urney,
who were generally Church of Ireland. The ADAMS connections still have to be run to ground, as well as the possible connection to the MANN family. Updated - this no longer connects to the ADAMS or MANN part of the family tree - yet.. |

Henry OLIVER (1803-1884) of Ballymoran descendants. Because Ballymoran
is on the eastern border of Ennislare – where a William OLIVER (1730-1816) held
land, and is also on the southern border of Farmacaffley (aka SherranmcAghully)
where Andrew OLIVER held land in 1664, I suspect this family will turn out to
have a connection to these OLIVERs. Ballymoran is also just one townland east
of Ballynahone, where William OLIVER (bef 1700-aft 1730) and Elizabeth HARDY
lived. Henry OLIVER (1803-1884) was a member of a family that remained Church of
Ireland. |

William OLIVER b abt 1800 - probably of Cavanagarven. At present, it is hard to say where this William
originated from, or who his parents were. OLIVERs were in
the region – at Lislooney. SEE: deed
in 1718. The Lislooney OLIVERs family farmed there until the mid-1800s. Also, the OLIVERs living closer to Armagh – Ennislare, Ballynahonebeg,
Ballyrea etc – had leases to mills nearby in Derryhaw in the late 1700s and
early 1800s. |

OLIVERs of Ballycrummy. Although the known descendants of Simon Francis OLIVER who live in or near the City of Armagh are all Roman Catholic, their DNA is a perfect match with my OLIVER family DNA who were all Protestant and were likely descended from Huguenots. |

Keady |
OLIVERs of Keady, in Tynan Parish, Co. Armagh. This is just a start on the descendants of Benjamin OLIVER b abt 1800. Until recently, I had another Joseph OLIVER (1830-1884) linked as a son of Benjamin (b abt 1800). He was a shoemaker of Killilea, and while he may be connected to this family in some way, the evidence now strongly lines up for him to be the Joseph OLIVER who Married Elizabeth STEWART. |

John Andrew OLIVER Family Tree – based in Limavady. This GEDCOM for this branch of Northern Irish OLIVERs is thanks
to the years of diligent research done by John Andrew OLIVER (1913-2006). It is
based on data in his manuscript: Girl Name Forgotten. This 91 page typescript volume contains notes on
the history of the Oliver, Morrell, McMullan and Sherrard families of Limavady,
Magilligan and Dunboe, Co Londonderry. It can be found at PRONI D3000/16/1 |

OLIVERs of Marbletown, NY, America. My purpose in assembling this tree is to be better able to
figure out which one of the several branches of the OLIVERs of Armagh they
might be related to. I do not yet know, but if there are descendants of this
family, it may prove to be helpful. Given the prominence of these OLIVERs – Andrew OLIVER was one of the signatories of the Articles of Association, it is likely that someone will trace themselves back to him |
