I am looking for information on the Seth Swindle that is listed in Tippah co. 1840 census. do you have any information on this family ? there is also a Swindle and Howe family story that has been passed down for generations in the Swindle and Howe families that in the late 1700's a Lord and Lady Howe came from England to the Carolinas on their honeymoon. Lady Howe was so frighten by the rough voyage that she refused to return to England. Lord Howe went back, contracted pneumonia and died in England. He never saw his son William Howe Jr. Lady Howe married Seth Swindle and he was the ancestor of the Benton County, Tennessee Swindle families. There is a William Howe found in Benton co. tn. that is Ancestor to my Howe line. I know there may be some truth to this story but how much is not known. Is any one familiar with a Lord William Howe who married about 1780-90? or the Seth Swindle that married this Lady Howe ? thank you for any help or information. Karen
