"It was assumed by many that Samuel Oliver married Mary Higgins, sister to Zerah, becasue he was granted a guardianship over Zerah's son and is described as his uncle. However, he is uncle by virtue of the marriage of his sister Elizabeth to Zerah. Given the inscription below, Mary Higgins could not be the wife of Samuel as she would be 76 (b. 9/27/1652 ) "
