I am looking for an ancestor of mine, her name is Sarah Wallace Swearingen. I would specifically like to find out the names and personal information of her parents. The records I have for her state that she was born August 3 or 5, 1832 (the 1880 census says she was born in Ohio but I also have reports of her being born in Virginia/West Virginia) and died on December 8, 1885 in Winchester, Adams County, Ohio. She was married around June 20, 1850 supposedly in Adams County as well. Using information from Karel Whyte's website (I only recently learned of her death - what a terrible loss) and the 1880 census I've been able to ascertain that her husband was George Washington Swearingen, born July 18, 1818 to Thomas Swearingen and Rebecca Gillespie, married to Hannah C. Smith and to Sarah Jane Wallace and died May 8, 1903, According to one source, it appears that George's sister Rebecca (or Rebeckha) Swearingen married Sarah's brother George William ! Wallace (b. December 11, 1819 in Adams County (probably Oliver Township), Ohio; m. October 16, 1845 in Adams County; d. February 26, 1866 in Adams County, Ohio buried in Unity Cemetary). If anyone has any information on these people or just on Swearingens and Wallaces in Adams County in general, I'd appreciate any information you're willing to share. Please feel free to email me. Thanks!
