He was one of the first settlers of Athol, Massachusetts, and is frequently mentioned in the Vital Records, and also in Caswell's "Athol, Past and Present" as Captain John Oliver. He died in 1811, at the age of eighty-seven years, according to the Vital Records, but according to Caswell's "Athol, Past and Present", he was ninety-three years old at his death, which would make the date of his birth six years earlier.
Captain John Oliver served in the revolutionary war and the following is his record:
"He was Captain of the Sixth Company, Col. Nathan Sparhawk's (7t Worcester Co.) Reg't of Mass. militia; First of the officers chosen by several companies in said Reg't., dated Petersham, March 24, 1776; ordered in Council, April 6, 1776, that said officers be commissioned April 5 (?), 1776; Also Cap't, Col.
