The 1988 book A Composite History of Jackson Co., IN contains a
genealogy of the Schwein family on pages 451 and 452. I have written to
the Jackson Co. Genealogical Society to determine who submitted the
genealogy regarding this family in Germany, but apparently nobody knows
the origins. If anybody has more information on the family or a
contact, please let me know.
The immigrant, Philipp Wilhelm "William" Schwein, was born 3 August 1798
in Sonneberg, Hessen-Nassau, son of Wilhelm Conrad Schwein and Christina
Elisabetha Bach. He married as his second wife Maria Elisabetha
"Elizabeth" Hermann, b. 14 Jan. 1809 at Naurod, Hessen-Nassau. She was
the daughter of Johann Georg Herrmann of Naurod and Maria Elisabetha Ruf
of Auringen.
Thanks .... Ruby
