It is difficult to know who Olive's parents would have been. Since the censuses say she was born in CT, and she was married in Hartford, it would seem likely that she was born in Hartford. It's also possible she went by a name other than Olive. Here are some possibilities for parents who had other children at approximately the same time: Dan Rowe and Lucretia Austin of Hartford county; Stephen Rowe & Lurenda Adams of Bristol; Daniel Rowe & Charlotte Griffin of Granby; Ari Rowe of Bristol. There was an Amasa Rowe who moved to Deerfield, NY who was born a few years before Olive - no parents are listed for him either. He may have been a brother to Olive.
