Special note

Many David Oliver's in this family. Family and genealogy records used specific suffixes to distinguish the different David's. Beginning with David Oliver II (abt. 1670 - abt. 1720). This is David IV and his father is David III. The format changed with his son David 4th and grandson David 5th. David III and IV are my 6x and 5x great grandfathers. Parker is my 4x great grandfather. David 4th is my 4x great grand uncle. His son is David 5th. They were known as the Oliver's of Robinhood.
