'''Thomas Olive''' was a deputy-[[List of Governors of New Jersey|governor]] of [[West Jersey]] from 1684–1685.
The original name of [[Wellingborough]] for present-day [[Willingboro Township]] was after the community in [[England]] which was the home of Olive. Olive was the one who led the original settlers into that township.
In 1676, along with the other proprietors of [[West Jersey]], Olive signed the [[Concession and Agreement]]. Olive owned one share of West Jersey land as a proprietor.<ref>[http://www.pym.org/exhibit/archives/100shares.html The Proprietors of the Original 100 Shares of West New Jersey Property]</ref>
