Feel free to add him if you have the connection sourced. I have done lots of Oliver profiles just trying to sort them out, but don't follow them much past the 1820 timeframe in Screven County, as all my connections are from then and further back. Also happy to share or turn over management if this is one you are particularly interested in. Cheers!
