Oliver was born November 20, 1726, in Windsor, Connecticut. He died December 1, 1797 at age 71. He signed the Declaration of Independence when he was 49. He was the 14th signer. Oliver was a member of the Connecticut Legislature, and he was a County Judge and a colonel in the militalia. In the revolutionary war, he was a brigadier in the militalia and a major general; in 1779 he was put in charge of defending the Connecticut seacoast against the British. This is how I am connected to Oliver: Viola Vitticore~2013, My dad, Mathew Vitticore~1979, his dad, Dominick Vitticore~1948, his mom, Thelma DeJohn~1927,  her mom, Jennie Mae Wolcott (married a DeJohn)~1905, her dad Daniel~1875; WW1 veteran, his dad, Isaiah ~1852; his dad, Joel Rawlyt~1821; his dad, Charles~1795, his dad, Charles Sr.~1768, his dad, Justus ; (directly related)~1735, fought in the Revolutionary war, his dad, George the 3rd~1701, his dad, George jr.~1653, his dad, Georget~1612, his dad, Henry Wolcott~1578; born in Somerset, England. Henry had another son named Simon, (1625), who had a son named Rodger, (1704, 16 kids) who had Oliver.If I could ask Henry a question, it would be, Why did you leave England? If I could ask Oliver a question, It would be, were you scared when you signed the Declaration of Independence, proving to be disloyal to the British?I wonder how Henry and Oliver would react if they knew one of their distant relatives would be doing a project about them hundreds of years after their time.
