Barbara, I have "Index to Montgomery Co. Marriages from the Norristown Herald Newspaper 1843-1899" and there is a Henry SWINEHART who married in 1882. DOn't know if this could be a son or not! You can request a copy of the marriage from the Montgomery Co Hist Soc since this book is from their index! Also in Wills of Montgo. Co 1784-1823, there was a Michael SCHWEINHART who was exec with Peter FRITZ in will of Jacob SPECHT, New Hanover, will dated 10/24/1823, and proved 11/13/1823. Wits: Matthias GILBERT and George RICHARDS. Also in Wills, Henry GILBERT, New Hanover, will of 4/25/1810, there is this: [proved 11/4/1814] To wife Barbara, household goods and maintenance, and income of £200 during life. To son Anthony, farm, 103 acres subject to payment of £1500. To each son £50. Rem of estate to be divided among children, share already received to be deducted. Exec: son Henry and son-in-law Michael SWINEHART. Wits: Jacob Bickel and John Richards. Baby steps back to the emigrant! One line at a time! In earlier years the name was SCHWEINHARD or SCHWEINHARDT. I have this in 'Marriages and Deaths of Montgomery Co 1685 - 1800' by Charlotte Meldrum, pub 1999 by Willow Bend Press: Faulkner Swamp Reformed Church: p 151 Marriages: Hannah, dau of John SCHWEINHART, and George, son of Geroge Bechtel, married 11/5/1792. Burials there: p 160. 8/16/1785 - George Andrew SCHWEINHARDT, age 61, less 3 mos, A Lutheran. Augustus Lutheran, Trappe Church: p 87 Jurg Schweinhard, from New Hanover, and Anna Maria SCHMEIDin, ACKER's step-daughter of Limerick Twp, married Providence Church no date but abt bet 8 and 10/1752, based on the chronological order of names before and after. Marriages at Aug. Lutheran, Trappe, p 96 Johannes SCHWEINARD and Johanna REICHARD, dau of Caspar, married 2/17/1760 at New Hanover. Burials at Augustus Evangelical Church, Trappe: p 103 George Michael SCHWEINHARD, Church Warden at New Hanover, Born Jungholtzhausen, district Hohenlohe, 28 years in PA, and a true Member of the Congregation, died 11/10 1760, age 64 years. Hope this will help!
