Isham Olive was apparantly married first to Sarah Peebles of Warren County, GA. Isham would have been born in Columbia County, GA in 1818 to Wiley Olive and Lucretia Newsome and reared in Warren County by his mother after his parents divorced in 1824. The first three children (Delilah, Martha and Mary) were with Sarah and the rest were with Elizabeth Haywood.
Could the Willy listed in the 1860 Census as 6 years old actually been named Wiley? As for the Louisa married in Muscogee County in 1855, Abel (brother to Isham) had a daughter named Louisa born in 1833. Abel's children were born all across Georgia with the last 4 being born in Marion, Talbot and Muscogee Counties. My great great grandmother, Elizabeth Ann Olive, was his youngest and was born in Muscogee County in 1849.
I am trying to reconstruct the descendents of James Olive and Elizabeth Burt who moved from Wake County, North Carolina to Columbia County, GA in 1793. Their son Wiley (which happens to be my line) has been the most elusive and the most promising for all the stray Olives in Georgia before the Civil War. According to the 1820 census of Columbia County, he had 11 children with the youngest ones still living with their mother in Warren County in 1830. I feel sure that this group your working is some of Wiley's grandchildren.
