Best Wishes, Geri -----Original Message----- From: Richard Swank Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 12:51 PM To: geri brennan Subject: Schwenk/Swank Geri, To save you some work, I am only interested in the Schwenk/Swank in the Pa. before 1820. After 1820 I have them in Morgan Co., Ohio and then in 1851 the county changed to Noble Co., Ohio. What I am trying to do is to connect the Schwenk family of Northampton Co., Pa. to my Swank families in Morgan Co., Ohio. I think that the Schwenck from Northampton, Pa. family which you sent me on 12/8/06, which was Johann Philip Schwenck (b. 28 June 1771) s/o Frederick and Barbara and his son Johann ( 23 June 1793) are my Swanks in Ohio. The birth dates are close to my Philip and his son John Swank family in Ohio. The last time that I can find them in Northampton Co., Pa. is in 1793 after Johann was born. I think that they might have gone to the Southwestern part of Pa. and then to Ohio. I do thank you for your help, which has helped me in my research.
