Hi, I need help to find a family connection. Could someone please guide me in my connection. This is one of my brick walls. I have a Philip Swank that was born in Pa. in 1771. He has a wife Elizabeth ? born about 1775 in Germany. They had a son John born 29 June 1793 in Pa. I have them in Morgan / Noble Co., Ohio in the 1800's. In 1820 Philip Swank lived in Belmont Co., Ohio with a Frederick Swank listed next to him. I have no more information on Frederick Swank. I have found a Johann Philip Schwenck or Schwenk born 28 May 1771 in Moore Twp., Northampton Co., Pa. and Bapt. 23 June 1771 in Emanuel Luth. Church., Moore Twp., Northampton Co., Pa. His parents are Frederich and Anna Barbara (Schwartz) Schwenk. He married Ellzabeth ? about 1791 probable in Northampton Co., Pa. They had a son John Schwenk born 21 July 1793 and Bapt. 21 July 1793 at Stone Church, Allen Twp., Northampton Co. Pa. Philip Schwenck had a brother Frederick Schwenck. I last found Johann Philip Schwenck in Northampton Co., Pa. in 1793 when John was born. What I need is any idea where I can find the following. 1. Who is Elizabeth, and her parents? 2. Where can I find out how to connect the families? 3. Where could Johann Philip Schwenk and family lived between 1793 and 1820? I am sure that they are the same family, as name and dates are connected, but would like to find proof of the connection. Can anyone give me information on this family or ideas on where to look for information? I am completely out of ideas. Richard Swank in So., California.
