Oliver and Elizabeth Matthews and Oliver's father, Thomas Matthews, were other early settlers at Centre. Oliver Matthews was born in the north of England and was described as a "public Friend" (minister). There were at least three sons -Thomas, John, and William - and probably a fourth son, George.[2]
