They had 7 children Frank/Francis b.1852, Henry b.1856, Louis b.1858, Joseph b.1859, Cynthia b.1861, Elmer/Edmond b.1862, Harriet b.1862. The family moved to Boonton, NJ probably between 1860-70. By 1880 the father and the elder brothers seem to have disappeared from the census records. Joseph married Mary Lane and had daughter Katherine Marie Vincythia Swenord b.1894 who is my great grandmother. Joseph's brother Almon/Edmond married a woman named Annie and had at least 4 children, Mary T, Fannie E, Edmund and Helen. Edmund married someone named Bertha and had at least 3 children John b.1922, William b.1923 and Anna b.1924 they lived in Boonton/Montville NJ. I don't know who the female children married. But I'd love to hear from anyone who has any information or is related to this family. Thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
