Dred Swafford was the son of Elihu & Nancy Swafford and brother to my Great Great Grandmother Elizabeth Swafford Ramey. I had a time with who her parents were because she is married by the time the their is a census that lists the names of the children. The late Ray Swafford, God Bless him, helped me with this. Adeline Beck was the daughter of Captain Samuel M. Beck b. 1826 and Martha Wall. There are several good articles on the Becks and one on the Swaffords in the "Rabun County Georgia And It's People, Vol I"book. If you do not have access to it, I would be happy to scan the articles to you.

Specifically, my husband is descended from E.D. (Dred) SWAFFORD and Adeline BECK. Dred and Adeline's son, Martin, married Christina BOWERS producing Carter Tate SWAFFORD. Carter (or "Tiny" as he was called rather facetiously) married at least twice, the first time giving rise to Larry Scott SWAFFORD in Copperhill, Polk County, Tennessee. Larry is my husband's father. I am interested in any related families. Most specifically, I'm looking for cousins. I'm not sure what descendants remain of this family. Larry had one sibling, who is deceased (also named Carter Tate SWAFFORD, but called "Kikie"). Tiny had at least four siblings. Martin at least three, Dred at least six. I'd like to hear any family stories/gossip, etc. since little is known by my husband. Come one, come all!
