 New Jersey Mirror 3 Feb 1853 Oliver Cromwell, (a  colored  man) a Soldier of the Revolution, died in Burlington, on January 24, 1853, aged about 100 years. He had lived in Burlington a long time and was much respected by the citizens. The pension of ninety-six dollars a year, allowed him by the Government, was barely sufficient to support him, but being so highly esteemed, he was not permitted to suffer when his funds failed him.
