Kenneth Morgan's book, "Morgan's East Texas Tales" (Copyright 1997, Dogwood Press, Rt 2, Box 3270, Woodville, TX 75959, 409/837-5519) is dedicated to his mother, Dollie Olds Morgan. She is featured in many of his vignettes. He reported she was a self-reliant woman who finally hung up her gun when she was 82.
A native of Jasper, Texas, Garland Ruth was a lifelong resident of Jasper. During her many years in this area she spent time with family and friends and was known to enjoy fishing in her younger years. After retiring from the Mr. Q service station that was owned by Judge Fisher and was operated by Muckleroy Enterprises, she spent her time with grand kids and was an avid outdoors person that collected hundreds of arrowheads and painted numerous landscape and floral prints.
Carl's Social Security Application listed his wife as Fannie ALINGER.
Her granddaughter, Linda McLemore Newkirk, emailed in April 2011 that her last name was actually O'Linger, and that her date of birth was 20 Jan 1900, not 20 Feb 1900.
He is included on the List of Slave Owners on the 1850 Sabine County, Texas Census, with 17 slaves. (Schluter & Toole, p I).
First of all, I saw in the 1840 Holmes County, Mississippi index that Robert Oliphint (may be your Robert), Bluford A. Oliphint and Alfred D. Oliphint were on page 259. Also, on this page were Silas S. Cause, Green B. Causey and Solimon Causey. On page 251 were Isaac C. Olipohint and Wilford Oliphant. On the 1850 Holmes County, Mississippi, Lexington census index on page 286 were Robert B. Oliphint and S.R. Olipints on page 288.
I found that on December 18, 1839, Alfred D. Oliphint obtained a conditional certificate for 320 acres of land in Sabine county, "he having brought with him his negroes, but his having not brought with him his white family but in the summer of 1840 said Oliphint returned to U.S. and removed his family to the Republic of Texas and his continued to reside in Sabine..."
He is found on the 1850 Sabine County census with his family and Solomon Causey and then Green B. Causey are living next door. There is also a Robert J. Oliphint living with Louisa Jane Oliphint Noble (daughter of Alfred and Jemima) living several doors from Alfred. A Joseph B. Oliphint and Wilford D. Oliphint (says son of Robert Oliphint & Abigail Davenport) are also living in Sabine County nearby.
Alfred is shown as A. D. on the 1860 Sabine County census. He is also on the 1880 Sabine County census.
I looked at an index to the Sabine County, Texas cemeteries. They had Alford and Martha listed and several other Oliphants but not Robert and Abigail. I wonder if the Robert shown on the 1850 Mississippi is Alfred's father? If Alfred was 41 in 1840, his father was 69 and that seems a little old to be moving, but not unheard of."
Here is the response to my email with some additional information:
"My ggg grandfather, Robert Oliphant, also had a son named Robert Bedford Oliphant who stayed behind in MS and never went to TX with his older brothers and parents. My gg grandfather, Dr. Samuel Rutherford Oliphant, Sr. M.D., was the youngest child, and traveled to MS with his parents and older brothers when they came back to MS to fetch the women and children, etc. and to take them to TX in 1840....Alfred and some of his male family and negroes having gone there in 1839 to secure the land.
I'll never know whether Robert and Abigail went to TX with the intention of returning to Holmes Co or not. I suspect that at their advanced age, they felt they needed to go with their older and more established sons, leaving behind their younger married son, Robert B. whose children may have been too young to make such a trip, as well as 2 daughters that I know of: Mary Oliphant Stigler(w/o Wm Stigler) stayed behind in MS and Eliza Ann Oliphant Wells (w/o Lindsey S. Wells) stayed behind as well. My Samuel returned to MS as a teenager to study medicine and marry his sweetheart back in Holmes Co...Laura Lovisa King.
Since Robert and Abigail owned at least 19 slaves, I am still trying to find their estate sale. I believe they died intestate, but the Holmes Co courthouse had a fire and the records are incomplete, so I may never know. I do know that somewhere I saw a record of one of the sons in law being appointed administrator in Holmes around 1845 or so. (When I sent money for a record, nothing ever was returned, so I shall have to go back in person, I guess. It is frustrating.)Wilford D. Oliphant was married to Martha Ann "Patsy" Stigler and Bluford A. Oliphant was married to Lenora Lehr. There was a younger Wilford who, I believe, was a teenager when they all removed to the Republic of TX in 1840.
Martha Oliphant Wiltshire(w/o Benj. Wiltshire) also went to TX with her family at some point, and I am thinking that it was her husband who was appointed administrator of the senior Oliphant's estate."

Owner of one of the earliest Pre-Republic Anglo-American structures in Texas, the Gaines-Oliphint House, still standing in 2006 in Sabine County, Texas. The two-story double log home was built in 1818 by James D. Taylor Gaines. The property was sold to Wilford Oliphint about 1840, but the bargain seems to have fallen through. The deed validly conveying the house and 61 acres of land was made by James GAINES and his son John B. GAINES, to Martha A. Oliphint on Feb. 17, 1842. (Sabine County Reporter, June 30, 2004, Page 18 "GAINES-OLIPHINT HOUSE HAS BIG DAY.")
Also living in their home at the time of the 1850 census, relationship unknown, was 17 year old Wilford M. Oliphint, born in Texas. I assumed this was not his son, as (1) he is listed at the end of the family, after all the other children, including those younger than him, and (2) also living in the household is an 8 year old Wilford. In addition, 26 year old Robert Hicks, an overseer born in Mississippi lives in the Oliphint home. (Schluter & Toole, 1850 Census, p 42).
After her youngest child graduated from High School, Marie obtained employment with the Youth Development Center in Geneva as Kitchen Technician. She received her 10 year employment pin in 1986. A member of the American Legion Auxiliary HSSK Post #240, Marie also enjoys gardening, cooking, crocheting and sharing her knowledge of her Czech language and heritage. (Milligan, p 294). She is the daughter of Vaclav Anton Oliva, Immigrated in 1909, and Anna Beranek, Immigrated in 1914 (Milligan, p 293).

I just read your postings on Rootweb for Ananias "G" Oliver, son of Robert Oliver and Nancy [I've forgotten her maiden name] of Davidson Co-Williamson Co-Giles Co, TN., Limestone Co. AL and other Alabama counties] His son Robert settled part of his estate in Sabine Co. TX records.
Forgive me but I am attempting to recite this from memory.
Robert's family connections are George Oliver [Tyrrell Co NC, Davidson Co-Williamson-Giles Co, TN]
Frederick Oliver [Tyrrell Co. NC, Davidson Co. TN - died from wounds suffered in War of 1812]
Edward Oliver [Tyrrell Co. NC, Davidson Co. TN]
Roderick Oliver - [TN - Marshall, MS - TX]
Joseph Oliver - [Tyrrell Co-Washington Co, TN]
A Virginia Meader Cox LeMay researched this line many years ago. She is now deceased and I no longer have her lineage sheets. I do remember that Ananias had an older sister, Nancy who married a Birdsong, and a brother named Robert, who settled in Montgomery, TX. Robert JR. settled his father's estate which was quite extensive.
Robert Sr. is listed in my ancestor's will, placing Robert in charge of George's bequeath to his daughter Esther Oliver Croft filed in Giles Co. TN. Robert owned and operated an inn.
Also, Ananias' son's name is George G[reen] not George C. We, too, have two George Green Oliver in the family. George Oliver Sr.'s two youngest sons, Zebulon Sr. and William Hugh, named sons George Green Oliver.
Perhaps this will help you on your way to more discoveries.
At the time of the 1900 Sabine County, Texas census, he lived with his Aunt Martha Oliver Meador and her husband. He was shown as age 23, and appears to have been married to a 22 year old Anna M, born in Texas. Eddie was incorrectly listed as a brother-in-law of James Meador. His parents lived next door. In 1920, he and Anna were living next door to Martha and James Meador.
McDaniel's transcription of the 1900 Sabine County, Texas census lists the family as follows:

Household #21-21 in Precinct 8 is headed by 44 year old Samuel Jones from Georgia. He is married to 39 year old Texanna . Living in their home is 23 year old Vessie Oliver, listed as a nephew. It is not known how, or if, Samuel and Jane Jones (above) are related.

An Eldridge M. Oliver was a member of the First Regiment of Hood's Texas Brigade. (Schluter, 1860 Census of Sabine County, Texas with Civil War Records, c 1983, pages 64-65). It is not known if he is related to Nancy Oliver. The 1870 Sabine County census has a household headed by Samuel Oliver, born ca 1830 in Mississippi (#510-510). It is not known if he is related to Nancy either.
