James Olive first married Mary Allard on November 4, 1735, in Gloucester County, Virginia and was married to a woman named, Elizabeth (m abt 1743 - he had arrived in NC abt 1743), when he died. James Olive was the father of at least ten children: (children b aft 1743 would be from Eliz.)
the children are from Elizabeth in my software - it seems their dates do not allow for their being Mary's children
The descendants of James Olive (born 1713) are well documented in at least two books: "James Olive Family of Wake County, North Carolina," published in 1965 and "The Heritage of Wake County, North Carolina," published in 1983. This "James Olive" line is actively being updated for publication by Irene (Olive) Kittinger (of Cary, North Carolina), Mildred Olive (of Big Spring, Texas) and others. It is highly recommended that any descendants of this "Olive" line promptly write Irene or Mildred in order to preserve their family heritage. The authors of this book, do not intend to actively research the descendants of "William Olive" or any of his children, including James Olive (born 1713).
The two previous publications and the recent update by Mildred Olive show that James Olive first married Mary Allard on November 4, 1735, in Gloucester County, Virginia and was married to a woman named, Elizabeth, when he died. James Olive was the father of at least ten children:
