I know this is confusing.This particular branch of the Oliver family tended to call their sons by their middle names rather than their given names.So, Henry H. Oliver is really James Harrison (Harry) Oliver, son of William D. Oliver and Mary Jane Ellifritz, born on 5/26/1861 in Seneca, Ks.
Lillie May was not James' first wife.He had previously married an Anna Elizabeth Tate (Maybe Harmon?).James didn't marry Lillie May Mapes until later.Claude was one of Lillie's boys.
I am a part of the branch from James' son Henry Harrison in Falls City, Nb.
