"Oliver was at the Battle of Bunker Hill and was conspicuous for his bravery. As General Putnam stood by a deserted field-piece, urging the retreating soldiers to make one more stand, Oliver came to his assistance; his smoking gun and begrimed face were evidence of his work, and amidst it all he calmly took a chaw of tobacco." [History of Windham Co.]
He settled in Aurora, Niagara County, New York, where his widow was living March 1, 1821, and received a deed of land from her son John. When the British invaded Buffalo, New York, December 30, 1813, they made Oliver, Senior, carry the torch that set Buffalo on fire, and then made him run the gauntlet; he died soon after.
