I'm a little confused and hoping that since you are replying to posting from Don, Bettye and myself, that you don't think I've said anything about a scam in regard to you. Actually, I searched the entire mailing list archives, and am not seeing anything mentioned about a scam with the exception of a particular site that at one time was believed to have been a scam. Could you have misunderstood an earlier posting, or have the wrong mailing list? -Kay, FL -------------------------------------- In a message dated 12/6/2008 8:58:26 PM Eastern Standard Time, alannal@prodigy.net writes: > > Why not try the State of North Carolina? > There were Swearingens [whatever spelling] in North Carolina.

No you did not!!!! It was a guy who when I asked about the Reynolds list called me that. I have Conwys/ Conways in Shannon Co and I know that there were some of that name in Reynolds Co. Who knew what county they were in back in the 1830's or even earlier. This line came from Conwy, Wales and landed in Va. My cousin who has worked the Swearingen name and it is part of out lines said that my Conwys could have gone down to NC and my John and Mary Conwy Conwy could have been born in NC and then moved to TN for a while. Then on someway to Shannon Co. John was the second last son of Thomas Conwy/ Conway. John and his eldest son disappear during the war and Mary goes to Iron Co in 1864 and marries a John Haile who also disappears. Mary is buried in Leadwood Cem in an unmarked grave along with a daughter. I think that the Swearingen's were in the Shannondoha Valley. Then they may have been in the area of Orange, Chatham, Alamance Cos. Most of my lines went to the area of Taylorsville where they had had land grants since 1752. One went to Easly, Union Co, SC until they thought it was save to go to Taylorsville. All these people were involved in the events going up to the Battle of Alamance Creek in 1771. Read the book Some Negected History of North Carolina by Wm Fitch, MD. His relative was hung by the dear British about 1771. Some of the names do not have the correct spellings. Your line may not be my line and right now I do not remember how my Swearingen name is connected with my lines. Look at the census records for Taylorsville in 1860. There was a group of about 100 families who stayed together for over 100 years. I will get that post and send it to Bette, as he was not nice. I may not post, but I do know a few things. All those wonderful posts from the newspapers shows why my grandfather wanted his first and second family out of the area. Those foreigners brought small pox to my grandfather and mother and they nearly died of it.
