Hi Debbie,
I donn't have much more on this Jacob Swift and Martha Secrist. I never heard from
the person who made the original posting. If this is the right Secrist family, you will
find them in the 1850 census for Mt. Pleasant Twp. in Delaware County. The family moved
from Adams County, Ohio in the 1840s. The next family in the census is probably the
brother of Martha Secrist and the next family, Mclaughlin, are close friends. Back in
Ohio, a McLaughlin married Jacob Secrist's brother.
Of course, I was hoping to confirm Martha's parentage with the marriage record.
Jacob's father, George, was one of the first settlers of Adams County, OHio.
Steve
