Could any county historians or Swearingen descendants tell me exactly where Swearingen's mill was in the early 1800's? My best guess is that it was "midway" up Cabin Creek. In a number of my family records, Swearingen mill is listed as a reference point. Therefore, I need to know more precisely where it was. Any help will be appreciated. Barbara Applegate Richards

I am descended from Lewis County Swearingens! Are you, Barbara? My last direct line ancestor was Elizabeth Searingen born 28 December 1839, married to Squire Ruggles on 20 September 1858 in Lewis County. Elizabeth was the daughter of James Swearingen and Elizabeth Montgomery, and James was the son of John Swearingen (born in Maryland) and Jane Barkley (born in Pennsylvania maybe)/ ~ DeniseC You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ~ Mahatma Gandhi :-----Original Message----- :From: BA [mailto:barich@fuse.net] :Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 12:01 PM :To: KYLEWIS-L@rootsweb.com :Subject: [ KYLEWIS] Where was Swearingen's mill? : :Could any county historians or Swearingen descendants tell me exactly where :Swearingen's mill was in the early 1800's? : :My best guess is that it was "midway" up Cabin Creek. : :In a number of my family records, Swearingen mill is listed as a reference :point.
