NOTE

He cannot be the child of Joseph Olmsted (1646-1726) and Elizabeth Butler (1654-1729) if he was born in 1782 as stated in this profile. Joseph & Elizabeth have a child Richard Olmsted born in 1682.

This profile is duplicted as Olmstead-334. A merge has not been set until that actual useage of the family name, with or without the "a", has been determined

Notes by Walt Steesy

Sometime after the import of this file by Osmer-2, she abandoned this profile and two others. All three had just a name and no data other than his reference number. All three are brothers, sons of Joseph & Elizabeth (Butler) Olmsted that married Hosmer women.

I have adopted all three profiles (Olmstead-332, 333, 334) and will eventually merge them into previously created profiles. One of the problems is that the spelling of the family name, with and without the "a", has caused the creation of duplicate profiles under each spelling. There continues to be discussion as to which form was used by the early Olmste(a)d families; those in Hartford, CT, which includes this family tend to use Olmsted without the "a." If and when the actual useage is determined the various profiles will be edited.
