Hi Terry,
I took a look for you in my data base but I don't have anything either. I also did some census records and found an Olive Fisk in Pamelia, New York in the 1850 census. She was born abt. 1810.
An additional look at the 1860 and 1880 census for Watertown, NY finds an Olive Terry, wife of Gershon Terry. He is about 17 years her senior but in 1850 he was still married to a Hannah (Unknown) Terry.
Gershon and his 1st wife, Hannah, who was aged 44 in 1850, appear not to have had any children.
By the time of the 1860 census, Gershon Terry has a new wife named Olive and they have a 5 yr old daughter named Florence.
Olive is 49 which means she would have been 44 when the child was born, which while uncommon, is not implausible.
Olive Terry died on Sept 21, 1887 and is buried at the North Watertown Cemetery, in Watertown, NY., her tombstone lists her birth year as 1810, the same age of the Olive Fisk found in the Pamelia, NY 1850 census.
I would look into this and see how far it goes before it falls apart or is actually proven.
As for Florence, she married a man named Egbert King, this is proven by the 1880 census for Watertown, NY where Egbert's wife is listed as Florence, born abt 1855 and his mother-in-law is Olive Terry who was born abt 1810.
Keep me posted,
Bob Birt
