There was also Hans George ( Hans Geo.), J. Jost , Philip. It said in the Pennsylvania German Pioneers on Pg 8 & 9 about the Passenger Ship List on who was on it. This is what it said... This is a true List of Passengers, imported in the Ship William & Sarah, Will m Hill, Mast r from Rotterdam, among whom are no convicts. Given upon oath, by Tho. Tober. At a Council held at the courhouse of Philadelphia, September 21 st, 1727, ...

List 1 B - Palatines imported in the ship William & Sarah, Willm Hill, Comm r from Rotterdam, who hereunto sett their hands the 21 st of Sep r 1727, in the presence of the Gov r & Council. It has a whole lot of people with German names, then it has later down on the bottom of the second column- Hans Phillip Schweikhardt, which was probably the original way they probably spelled their names in Germany back then anyway. George & Mary (Gantz) Swigart George Swigart, son of Adam and Elizabeth, was born about 1788, probably in Frederick County, Maryland. On March 21,1811 George married Mary Gantz in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Rev. Grubb performed the ceremony. Mary was born in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and was a daughter of George and Dorcas ( Day) Gantz, natives of Germany and the Days form Ireland. George learned the trade of a brickmason and plasterer. While living in Frederick Co, a son, Jeremiah, was born December 2, 1814. About 1815 George and Mary moved their family to Newark, Licking County, Ohio. The move was made using two twams: one a four- horse team, and the other a three- horse team. George and Mary had six sons and three daughters. This listings does not indicated order of birth as we still have much to learn about the family. Jeremiah born December 2, 1814 in Frederick CO, Maryland; Angeline married a Mr. Reynolds; Mary married a Mr. Graves; Elizabeth married a Mr. Petticord; Josiah ; Willard born in 1834 in Ohio ; Stephen H. died in 1856. Stephen was a printer ; Monroe ; William C. born December 12, 1824 in Newa4rk, Licking CO, Ohio. William died May 6, 1839 he married Martha P. Gage.; Name not known; Name not known. During the War of 1812 George was a private in the Calvary commanded by Captain Daniel Zacharius of Maryland Militia commanded by Colonel Ken and Major John Cook. George volunteered and was mustered into service at Westminster, Frederick Co, Maryland on the 7th. of August 1814. he served about 40 days being discharged in Fredericktown, Maryland. George continued as a contractor for many years. Then decided to go into farming and purchased a farm near St. Louisville living there till 1846 when he sold the place and bought another farm near Tiffin, Seneca Co, Ohio. He lived there until his death June 20, 1855. We believe Mary continued to live in Seneca Co. with a sister. We have no information on her death or where she is buried. There is no stone for Mary next to her husband in the McCutchenville Methodist Cemetery, Seneca Co. Ohio. But there just might have not been enough money or any stone to be placed at her grave site either. During the War of 1812 it was not uncommon to serve for 40 days or less.
