I have a Catherine "Polly" Swadley, b 1785, who married Adam Hevener, son of John Jacob Hevener and Mary Baldwin Mallow. She was born, of all places, at Blue Grass, which apparently heretofore was Crab Bottom. No wonder I had heard of it before. My information came from other descendants, the late Annie Ruckman Hogan of Monterville, WV, who died in the 1990s, and from Anna Dodrill of Monterville, WV. The information exchange you mentioned may have involved a friend rather than my wife. The friend is Autumn Kruer of Bedford, KY, whom I will copy with this message. I don't have Catherine's parents. And I'm not sure about the information. I have her dying at age 30. What do you have? Do you need more on the Heveners? I also appreciate the earlier information from Karen Rawlings that Crab Bottom, now Blue Grass, was in Pendleton prior to being in Highland. That explains things. The original name does seem a little too down to earth for the Virginia aristocracy. dhamrick@neo.rr.com Dan Hamrick 402 23rd Street NW Canton OH 44709 Phone and fax: 330-454-2376 ---------- >From: rcflesher@juno.com >To: dhamrick@neo.rr.com >Subject: Re: [VAHIGHLA] Fw: Crab Bottom >Date: Sat, Jan 8, 2000, 8:15 AM > >Hi Dan, >What is your lineage? >So I can know what to be looking for as I search Pendleton county for my >ancestors. >You listed or gave me once your wifes lineage back to some Swadleys and >Heveners. >It helps to know what to look for. >Is your wifes Mark and Benjamin Swadley (father and son) the same Mark >that m.
