Oliver Cromwell and the Oliver 70 Series

The Oliver 70 series marked a pivotal point in tractor design history. Boasting an automobile-inspired color scheme and catering specifically to farmers who wanted to use power farming for crop growth.

This article details the diplomacy that led to two treaties between Mazarin and Cromwell signed in November 1655 and March 1657 as well as their continued cooperation up until Cromwell’s death in September 1658.

Early Life and Education

Governor Roger Wolcott was born and died in Windsor, Connecticut in 1767. His son Oliver Wolcott signed the Declaration of Independence under his father Simon Wolcott; both fathers had participated actively in Connecticut’s early settlement and military campaigns.

Oliver was born to one of Huntingdonshire and East Anglia’s wealthiest families, though by the time of his birth the fortune had diminished considerably. Still, they managed to secure his education at a free school in Huntingdon.

Later, he studied at Yale University and graduated near the top of his class. With assistance from an uncle, he completed legal education as well. For a brief period he practiced law before returning to military service.

Achievement and Honors

During the Cromwellian protectorate, he was appointed by Lord Protector to lead major-generals throughout England and Wales tasked with protecting it and enforcing godly rule.

In 1844, his estates in Hinchingbrooke and Ramsey were named under him and he received the position of High Sheriff for Cambridgeshire.

As the 2017 Grand Champion of the Delo Tractor Restoration Competition, Corey Verstraeten knows all too well what it means to “If at first, you don’t succeed, try try again.” In fact, his Oliver 1755 tractor had already placed in three competitions prior to being declared victorious this time around. Additionally, Verstraeten received an invite to appear on Jay Leno’s Garage following its win!

Personal Life

Oliver Cromwell became one of Huntingdonshire and East Anglia’s wealthiest families when both his father and brother died, inheriting their land and properties.

At that time, depression was called melancholia. Due to his illness in 1628 he was forced to sell off most of his estate.

In 1631, the Cromwell family relocated to St Ives and this marked the start of a period of decline for them financially. Although they conceived children fairly regularly during their early marriage years – though there was an apparent break between spring 1631 and spring 1636 when no further children were produced, which may indicate either that they consciously abstained from having anymore, or their fertility simply decreased over time.
