Hi all,
I need some help. I am desperately in need of finding a 1880 census that
would include this family
David L. Swartz/ might be spelled Swarts, or even Schwartz b. between
1848-1850 possibly in Lancaster, Pa but in 1850 is listed as living with
his parents John and Mary Swarts in Clarion Co, PA.
At least by 1878 he was married to an Ella May Say of Venango Co. and was
living in or around Oil City when daughter Mouvinta ( Vinta ) Tenta) was
born according to her SS application.
A son Jerrold Franklin Swarts/Swartz was born to Ella and David sometime
between 1879 and 1880/81 depending on if you believe the grave stone or
his WWI draft card.
In 1885 David remarried to Nora Wheeler of Allegheny in Catt. Co. NY. By
1886 they were living in Potter Co. Pa in Bingham, later in Ulysses and
Hector. They had 7 children.
I really need help finding where David was in 1880 and would like to know
if he had moved to Potter Co. by the time the 1885 census was taken or
where he was. I have searched and searched but to no avail.
I am really desperate. You wouldn't want to see this old bird become
batty now would you.
Joan.
