Has anyone run across this Swearingen family? I have communicated this information previously but have new information / theory that I'm hoping someone can help me solve the puzzle. I found the children living in Meigs County Ohio in 1860 and all were suspected to be from southwestern PA. I cannot find them in the 1850 census in SW Penn or anywhere else for that matter. I suspect they are all siblings (with the exception of Henry's wife) as Henry is too young to be the father of most of the children. I am assuming that perhaps their parents just died and the family moved to Meigs as many of the people of SW Penn did. Does this family appear familiar to anyone? 1850 - Ohio, Meigs County, Bedford Twp SWEARINGEN, Henry D. born 1832 PA -Mary (wife of Henry), b. 1821 PA -Sarah (sister of Henry), b. 1844 PA -Elizabeth (sister of Henry), b. 1847 PA -Miles (brother of Henry), b. 1849 PA -Samuel (brother of Henry), b. 1851 PA -Mary (sister of Henry), b. 1853 PA -Cyrus H. (brother of Henry), b. 1855 PA Henry and Mary are then found in Meigs in 1870 with a child Florence (b. 1861 OH). Henry's sister Mary marries Edward Shumway in 1874. No other information is known.
