Info from Paul Bartlett Van Buren:

Oliver Janes, Sr. was a large, powerful man, weighing 325 lbs., yet perfectly formed, and as nimble as any youth; and his athletic qualities and Herculean strength were never matched. He once carried nine bushels of corn upstairs at one load, and threw an ordinary man over a fence with perfect ease. Sitting upon the floor and pulling sticks, he threw a boasting sea captain over his head. He was an amiable, good natured man, and a kind husband and father. [The Janes Family, by Rev. Frederic Janes, 1868, page 288]
