If the birth date and place are correct the area would have been part of Ray County at the time. I have been told that Oliver had brothers by the names of William and John, and that his father was Benjamin. I think Oliver married a Mary MCDONALD (born June 30, 1827 in Missouri possibly). I have no marriage date or location. Oliver and Mary had 16 children that I know of, born between the years of 1841 and 1872. One of these children, Charles Henry PARR b.April 18, 1867, is known to be my great-grandfather. I do not know where Charles was born. One of Oliver's other sons was also named Oliver, b.1855. If someone can help me fill in some pieces to my puzzle it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. David E.
