- ↑ 3 sources, 3 different answers. Unfortunately, Find A Grave has no picture of the gravestone, merely parrots the vital records. Oliver is included on the 1850 mortality schedule, suggesting 1850 is the correct year of death, and the published vital records are wrong (further checking find what may be the original record, showing Oliver entered as 1850, but on a page that started in 1849 and flowed over into 1850, possibly explaining why the error was made). The Maasachusetts death records clearly say Feby, and being ordered by date, this interpretation is confirmed by surrounding dates. But it appears the Peabody Genealogy might have misread the Feby as July, which is sufficient to come up with their answers. So that appears wrong too.
