John Scott, a group member (yay) has a well sourced page on the descendants of Presley Ward Oliphant, for all y'all central TN folk: Tennessee Heritage If I'm not mistaken, Roddy says the TX Oliphints come from this line, and this line originates from the MD Oliphants. Roddy, correct me if I'm confused.

Comment by Jeanie McCully on September 10, 2009 at 11:51am: Thanks for starting this group, Richie. (I have trouble with the hyperlinks, too, btw.) I like your idea of starting the discussion groups by region. I look forward to connecting & sharing info with other Oliphant descendants.

Comment by Richie C. on September 10, 2009 at 11:30am: I'm a tech dunce, but I'll try to build this group out with helpful links (tho so far, I can't get the hyperlinks above to work), and hopefully members will join and share in helping each other. So be patient, and help me if you can!
