1884 History of Lawrence, Orange and Washington Counties, Indiana, Goodspeed Brothers and Company, Chicago:
A. OVERMAN: A citizen of Vernon Township, was born February 2, 1829, being the seventh 
child of a family of ten children, born to BENJAMIN and ABIGAIL (COFFIN) OVERMAN.  His parents were natives of North Carolina and Virginia, respectively, and both of English descent.  They moved to Indiana in 1810, settling a short distance north of Salem.  The subject of this sketch had very limited facilities for schooling, but by his energy succeeded in
obtaining a fair practical education.  He remained at home with is parents until he attained his nineteenth year.  In the year 1849, his marriage with Eunice Stanley was solemnized, and to their union have been born eight children, four of whom are now living:  M. Ellen, who married W. W. Keyes; Mary A., who married William Chamberlain;  Lydia B., wife of F. M. Hills;
Effie D., unmarried;  Malora, died 1862;  Flora, died 1862;  Levi M., died 1852, and an infant unnamed died in 1859.  He is a member of the Friends and supports liberally all churches and charities.  In politics he is a stanch Republican and takes a good live interest in the political questions of the day.  His occupation was formerly silversmithing, but at present he is engaged in farming, in which pursuits he has been reasonably successful.
