Trying to find the parents of: Eli SWARTZ/SWATS/etc. who married Frances "Fannie" Coffman in Rockingham County in 1844. He was born in 1823 either in Augusta County or Rockingham County...I lean toward Rockingham as there are no Swartz's listed in Augusta in 1820 or 1830 census. Eli & Fannie's first daughter's name was Hannah, and Eli's mother spoke German and only broken English. My best guess is that he is the son of John SWARTZ/BLACK who married Hannah ESENWHETLER/ERHENWHETLER/etc. in 1812 in Rockingham County. Anyone with ANY information on ANY SWARTZ/SWATS/SWATTS/BLACK in Rockingham County in the 1760 - 1830 range, please email me. If I could figure out siblings or eliminate Swartz's that are NOT his parents, it would be a help, as there are less than 10 in the area at this time. Thanks! Paula
