Ezra Oliver was born approx. 1805. He is first identified on the 1840 U. S. Census, in Windham, Greene County, New York. [1] He appears to have been married to Hester/Esther Crandall by then.
The family was enumerated on the 1850 U. S. Census [2] But by 1855, he appears to have left Hester, remarried and fathered two children with Abigail Marshall (previous married name). [3]
This new family was, at first, unclear but documentation later held it to be true.[4]
A death record has yet to be found for Ezra.
