Very little is known of this family group. John Oliver was descended from Thomas Oliver, who arrived in Salem in the mid-seventeenth century. His mother Sarah Pedrick was descended from one of the original settlers in Marblehead.
I am guessing that Jane Waters was the daughter of Thomas Waters and his wife Alice Bartoll (see genealogy below) but have not yet found definitive prooof of this parentage.
John and Jane had five children. We know from the naming of second children with the same names that their first daughter named Sarah and their first son named John died as children.
Their son Thomas, our direct ancestor, married Elizabeth Grant and had five children, and their son Sarah married John Gale and had nine children. No further information could be found on their second son John.
No death, military, nor probate papers could be found which would shed any further light on this family.

Possible Genealogy of Jane Waters:
William Waters and Hannah Peach Bradstreet, the widow of John Bradstreet, were married in about 1661. They had four children: William Waters, Jr., Thomas Waters, Hannah Waters, and Mary Waters.
William Waters Jr. married first Elizabeth Latimer, and they had three children, Mary, Jane and Latimer Waters before Elizabeth died. Jane Waters, their daughter, died as a child, approximately ten (born in 1689 and died in 169?). William then married Hannah Dolliber the widow of Peter Dolliver, and together they had a daughter Hannah, who was baptized in 1700. At first, I believed that William and Elizabeth's daughter Jane was our Jane until I discovered that she died young. William and his second wife lived at a time when our Jane may have been their second daughter named Jane (whom I believe was born about 1706). The fact that Hannah's baptism is registered along with the those of the first three children (but not a second daughter Jane) leads me away from this parentage.
William's brother Thomas married Alice Bartoll on 7 Oct 1687 in Marblehead. Alice was the daughter bp. 25 Jul 1669 in Salem of William Bartoll and his wife Mary. Both Thomas and Mary had died by 1710, which would make their parentage of our Jane possible. The baptism of their son Thomas is recorded for 25 Aug 1689. Lending credence to the possiblity of this parentage is that Jane born about 1706 was name for her aunt, Jane (sister of her father Thomas?) and that Jane herself named her eldest child Thomas. Of course, the Olivers also had men named Thomas in their family, but John Oliver was the son of David Oliver (son of Thomas Oliver), so the first Thomas Olvier would have been three generations back. A birth or baptism record for our Jane Waters does not exist, but I'm hoping that at some time, we'll be able to learn the certainty of her parentage.
