It has been told to me that my Swarts/Swartz family came from the Lancaster area of Pa. to Clarion county at least by 1849. My aunt Marjorie has it written in her notes that her father David came from Lancaster. But then again she could be wrong as she has his date of birth listed at 1856 when every thing else points to about 1849/1850. This particular Swarts family had about 14 children. One of the childrens name was Christopher E. Swarts. Can any one help me back track them to make sure when they left Lancaster? Please and thank you in advance.
