Note	Family story is that Frank Oliver was really Frank Johnson (or Johannson). He was a merchant marine, and the captain of one of the ships he was on early in his career got tired of so many Swede's named Johannson working on his ship, so he renamed some of them (within a ship Captain's power, evidently). He renamed Francis Johnson to Francis Oliver.
Note	According to Joanne GONSALVES, Aunt Marjorie (VOGT) COLLINS said that Gram Oliver kicked him out because he was a raging alcoholic.
