I just found your message. What I can tell you is the the book "The Children of Mt. Soma" is a great resource on the Amoss family history. This site and Ancestry.com is too.
Oliver is the son of Lemuel Howard Amoss born Febuary 21,1793 and died April 23, 1833. He is the great grandson of William Amoss the Quaker through William's son William. His mother is Racheal Pierson.
Oliver moved to Howard county sometime after the Civil War, and the passing of his first wife. He later married Emma Marr and had more children.
The Howard County Historical Society website has a Marriage Liecense page in it. There plenty of Amoss's in the groom section and the bride section. There you will find the dates of when not only when he married Emma, but dates when some of his children were born. I found this researching my mother's side of the family-she's a Amoss too. We're either 2nd or 3rd cousins to Oliver's side of the family. I'm not sure which.
