[1] Charles Silver Oliver was married on 3 June 1805 to Maria Elizabeth, daughter of Abraham Morris.
He was Sheriff of County Limerick in 1791, Sovereign (Irish office of Chief of a municipal government) of Kilmallock from 1796 to 1800, and Member of Parliament for Kilmallock from 1798 until he was appointed Escheator of Munster on 15 May 1799.
[citation needed] Through Lord Clare's influence, Oliver represented County Limerick in the United Kingdom House of Commons from 1802 to 1806, though he was not a frequent attender.
Subsequent research by Mannix Joyce[4] indicates disagreements within the Protestant Ascendancy as to the severity of Olivers treatment of Wallace.
Wallace was publicly flogged and later executed in Kilfinnane charged with the crime of raising a subscription for the assassination[5] of Charles Silver Oliver.
