Lee Swinford Frisco TX Lee, Since HARRELL is my line I have not researched much on her husband. I know his name was William H. Swinford, b. Feb 24, 1845. Cemetery Book of Shelby County, IN gives his date of death as Oct 20, 1871 but his youngest children (twins Viola & William Louis) were born in 1875. Could it have been 1876 or 1877 instead of 1871 and just misread because Nancy never remarried? By 1880 she was widowed and she and her five children were living with her father, James Ellison Harrell. From Diane <rmorri11@bellsouth.net> "I believe this William is the son of Milton and Deborah Leach Swinford. According to the 1870 census, he is 25 years old. According to the 1860 census, living with Milton and Deborah is William, 15 years old. He would be a younger brother to my ggrandmother, Jemima Swinford Andrews. He was born in Harrison County, Kentucky. I know nothing further concerning William. Deborah Leach Swinford is buried at Fenn's Chapel." William Swinford appears on 1870 census, Shelby Co, IN, Roll 357, page 128. Next door is Isaac Harrell, age 50 Olive
