    Notes:

    Living in the household of Thomas Olvey in 1850, was a woman named Rachel Elsberry, age 50, who, it was noted by the census taker, was insane.

    In The History of Hancock Co., IN, 1818 - 1882, 1st ed, John H. Binford: King & Binford, Pub., 1882, p. 324: "Murders, Sucides and Fatal Accidents: John Trittipo lost his life at a party, in a row, one mile south of Woodbury on a New Year's Evening, 1857, at the home of Thomas Olvey." I believe it to have been this Thos. Olvey.
