Surnames: Swearingen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fl.2ADE/1794.1.1 Message Board Post: I am also researching Keziah Montgomery and wanted to know if you have found out anything about her since your last post. I would like to find out when she died and if she is buried in Oskaloosa? I have a few questions on the Daniel J Swearingen children: With the 1860 census with have the following children shown. John H. and Elizabeth are not listed in this census. D J Swearingen Oskaloosa, Mahaska, IA 47 1812 Kentucky Male Keziah Swearingen Oskaloosa, Mahaska, IA 42 1817 Ohio Female Lemuel A Swearingen Oskaloosa, Mahaska, IA 14 1845 Iowa Male July 8, 1845, Ellis A Swearingen Oskaloosa, Mahaska, IA 14 1845 Iowa Male July 8, 1845, Winfield S Swearingen Oskaloosa, Mahaska, IA 12 1847 Iowa Male Sarah J Swearingen Oskaloosa, Mahaska, IA 10 1849 Iowa Female Theo L Swearingen Oskaloosa, Mahaska, IA 9 1850 Iowa Male Eldora Swearingen Oskaloosa, Mahaska, IA 4 1855 Iowa Female Oskaloosa 1850 census. John H Swearingen 12 1837 Iowa Male Not Stated, Mahaska, IA Elizabeth Swearingen 8 1841 Iowa Female Not Stated, Mahaska, IA 1) I have been able to track down where most of the children ended up except for John H. and Eldora. Do you have any info on them? John H. was no longer listed with the family unit in Oskaloosa after the 1850 census. 2) I presume the Elizabeth shown in the 1850 census, is also the child that is sometimes shown as Mary E. on some records, whom married Abraham Dillon? 3) By 1880 Eldora no longer appears in Oskaloosa. Did she marry or die? 4) I have not been able to locate where Ellis lived in the 1870 census since he was not noted. By 1880 he pops back up and was married to a Nettie and living in Deadwood. Do you have any information when he left the Iowa nest and Nettie's maiden name. Do you know when and where he died. Thanks
