My ancestor is John Swindle, Jr. of Ashe Co NC and Grayson Co., VA. One of his daughters was Lucy Swindle b. 1808 Ashe Co., NC. She is also the sister of Mrs. James S. Rector of Grayson Co., VA. She married Dr. Stephen L. Landreth ,Jr. of Ashe Co., NC. b. 6-30-1815 Ashe Co., NC d. 5-19-1898. Lucy Swindle Landreth is buried on the Landreth Plantation, at Ashe Co., NC. Dr. Stevie was the son of Stephen L. Landreth, Sr. b. 1766 VA d. 1857 Ashe Co., NC His mother was Jane Creek b. 1785 VA. They married 1814 NC. The father of Stephen L. Landreth, Sr was William Landreth, who had come to Ashe Co. NC from Augusta Co., VA. I believe he is the man who established this Landreth family firmly in Ashe Co., NC. Dr. Stevie and Lucy had the following children: 1. Benson Landreth m. Drenna Lou Edwards 2. Issac Landreth m. Betty 3. Jane Landreth m. Haywood Edwards 4. Mae Landreth m. Columbus Sherman Edwards 5.

I still have alot of work to do on this family. If you are related, please write back. Lillian Kathleen Martin
