I am Penelope Swabey and a distant relation William Swabey visited Cranfield Church, Bedfordshire, England today where a capt. William Swabey (that fought at Waterloo) is buried alongside Lydia Hallworth, another niece of General George Washington. William's brother Henry Swabey wrote a poem entitled George Washington A Poem. The coincidences therefore are rather interesting. Could Lydia and Henry have known each other? If you have any information on Mildred Washington, would be interested in reading it. Many thanks and best wishes Penelope Swabey Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
