………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Thomas OLIVER possibilities – may be this family:
William OLIVER
b. about 1690 – Virginia
d. 1771 – (Caroline County) Virginia
m:
Ursilla (-------) THOMAS
b. about 1707 – Virginia
d. not given
ch:
William OLIVER b. no date – born in Virginia
Thomas OLIVER b. about 1732 – Virginia
Benjamin OLIVER b. no date – born in Virginia

No info on the children - this Thomas OLIVER b. about 1732 - would be about age 64 at the time of the guardianship

Unfortunately, there is no info past that point ………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Strangely enough, there are many, many "Mary RAKESTRAW" listed (WorldConnect site) – research shows she was most probably Mary (WHITE) GRIGGS-RAKESTRAW, apparently widowed at the time of the 1880 suit against the estate of Thomas HINES, orphan of Caleb HINES. Thomas HINES was about age 25 in 1800. There is a connection to the HARVEY and the OLIVER families. But because of a relatively small population and travel limitations, the marriage pool in colonial Virginia was limited. So the connections may or may not be significant.

The question remains: why was it necessary to sue the estate of Caleb HINES?

Does anyone have any information on Thomas OLIVER or Thomas HINES (son of Caleb HINES)?

I am a HINES researcher.
