Going from the present to Marie Swartwout in 1812 is established, and from the past to james in1786 also seems clear, including graves. But the marriage of James to Hannah I cannot find evidence for, except in our family history. But Marie was born in Feb 1812 and did marry DM Alexander, so if not child of Hannah and james, as our records show, which Swartwout family did she belong to? Any help would be appreciated! ........ Mary Brower 5th child of Cornelius and Mary Archer Brower born 24 Aug 1761 and married 25 April 1778 to Barnardus Swartwout their children: Robert Cornelius Steuben Thomas James Anthony Marie Eliza Augustus Barnardus Phillip Schuyler James Swartwout 5th child of Barnardus and Mary Brower Swarwout born 3 Dec 1786. Mariied 1 Jan 1811 to Hannah Brower. Children: Marie Swartwout 23 Feb 1812 Married DM Alexander Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
