I come through Mary Lou Swigart who was married to Thomas Jefferson Fuhr 10 March 1868. You seem to have a few more details than I do. I have partial copies of the Swigart Family Scrapbook. I was born in Macomb, McDonough, IL. All of my lines lived in McDonough county at one time or another. Tawny D.
