My husband's 2nd great-grandmother was Bridget Norton, born May 9, 1823, supposedly in Belfast. Her sister, Margaret, was born 1820. Bridget had her first child with husband Henry C. Swain in Florida in 1843. I would love to know when and why they came over. Henry Swain was born in Philadelphia in 1814, died 1875. Bridget Norton Swain died 1893 in Apalachicola, FL. The sisters may have had another sister named Hannah. Anything appreciated!
