I would like to know who is the William W. Swindle recorded with a land patent 4/10/1837 in Monroe Co., MO at the Palmyra Land Office. I am familiar with Joseph Swindle, who married Mary Brown, and came from NC to Monroe Co., MO and settled. Joseph has a land patent there 4/1/1839 at the Palmyra Land office. Joseph Swindle of Monroe Co., MO had a son named William C. Swindle, so this William W. Swindle is not him. >From the 1870 census at Marion Twsp. Monroe Co. MO we see William W. Swindle was born 1821 VA. His parents were also born VA. He is listed in the 1880 census still at Monroe Co., MO. >From Monroe Co. marriage records we find that William W. Swindle married Emily ENOCH 8/2/1846. Can someone properly identify this William W. Swindle for me, and his connection to Joseph Swindle, son of John Swindle and Hannah Weaver. Thaks, Lillian Kathleen Martin
