1927: Source:Miller-chronicles, p. 22: "The surveys name the original patents, Barry Hall, Bergen Op Zoom, Ormsby Villa and Mount Oliver. Many streets on the South Side still bear the family names: Jane, Sarah, Mary, Sidney, Josephine, Phillips, Page and Wharton; and Mount Oliver is called for his only son, Oliver; one of his sons-in-law was the well-known citizen of Pittsburgh, Dr. Nathaniel Bedford."

1937: Source:Baldwin, p. 246: "Before the Civil War several of the daughters of Oliver Ormsby lived in East Birmingham on the family tract of land between Twenty-first and Twenty-fourth Streets, each with her own house and beautiful well-kept gardens extending down to the river. In order, from west to east, they were Josephine Yard, who lived in the family homestead; Sidney Page, whose home was known as 'The Dingle'; Sarah Phillips of 'The Orchard'; and Mary Phillips of the 'White House.' Another daughter, Oliveretta Wharton, in later years occupied the Yard mansion."

1940: Source:Kamprad: "Today's visitors may still see traces of John Ormsby in that section of the city. Streets bearing such names as Mary, Josephine, Jane, Sarah, Sidney, and Wharton received their titles from members of Ormsby's family. At one time many more streets were thus named for Ormsby's relatives but have since been changed. Oliver Street has been changed to South Sixth; Gregg, to Seventh; Ormsby, to Thirteenth; Joseph, to Nineteenth; John, to Twentieth; Page, to Twenty-second; Phillip, to Twenty-third; and Caroline, to Twenty-fourth.¹⁹ . . . ¶ ¹⁹ From a typewritten account of the holdings of John Ormsby, in the files of the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania.
