I saw a "Vallomia" Swain who was born 1813 in New York and lived in 1850 Berrien Co MI. I realize this person would be Sirloma Swain's inlaws and you are looking for her marriage and maiden name. I thought I would try and see when she (Sirloma who was Maria's mother)came to Michigan. Perhaps that would pinpoint where she lived in New York and about what time and where she married Mr Swain, therefore helping us locate marriage info and her maiden name. What is the earliest you have her in records? Diane Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
