Thanks for the further information about the Swearingens, Barb. I really appreciate it. I wish I could help you nail down the location of the Swearingen mills, but I've had very little information about my Swearingen ancestors. Here is my ancestry with the Swearingens: Elizabeth Swearingen (b 1839, Lewis Co., KY) married Squire Ruggles (b 1839?, Lewis Co., KY). She was the daughter of James Swearingen (b 1808, Lewis Co., KY) and Elizabeth Montgomery (b 1809, PA). James was the son of Marmaduke Swearingen (b abt 1784, possibly Fayette Co., PA) and Mary Stratton (his second wife, b abt 1787 possibly Mason Co., KY). Marmaduke was the son of John Swearingen (b 1752, Frederick, MD) and Jane Barkley (b abt 1760, possibly Fayette Co., PA). ~ DeniseC You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ~ Mahatma Gandhi :-----Original Message----- :From: BA [mailto:barich@fuse.net] : :Denise :I am the one searching for the exact location of Swearingen mills used as a :reference point in :several Lewis Co records.
