Children: Absalom 19 yrs, Nancy 15 yrs and Jacob age missing. Children listed under SWISHER name. (Note: The above Absalom, 19 years in 1850, with mother Mary Swisher is interesting.

Spicer in the Amen Cemtery, Adams County, Illinois. (he was married several times, 3 were buried near him) Marion Co WV; Henry Allen Swisher b.
