Lee, Olive, and other Swinford researchers, The Fenn's Chapel name came from the area where the family lived in Addison Twp. I am not sure where I received this information but, Phyllis looked up the burial site for Deborah Swinford for me several years ago. I am sure that I still have the email but it is stored on the old computer which I have not used recently. Since Phyllis did this look up for me, we have relocated to Winter Park, FL from Owensboro, KY and have a new email address. I am still researching but haven't had much time lately as I am employed by Anheiser-Busch Entertainment Co. in the merchandise department at Sea World. Maybe Phyllis can clarify the information she found for me or perhaps the message is in the archives. Sincerely, Diane Andrews Morris P.S. I am still looking for the parents of William P Andrews who married Jemima Swinford. He had a brother Edmund who resided in Liberty Township, Tipton Co. and sister Elizabeth who married a Fussellman and moved to Adams Co., IL. Lee Swinford wrote: >Thanks for your response Olive.
