Thinking
about this and I do have some questions for my paternal great grandparents. I raised these questions on my blog entry
about A Big
Decision. In fact, it was my opening
statement.
I
also want to ask Emanuel Swinehart why he moved around so much. The Swinehart’s’ started out in Wyandot
County, Ohio. Then sometime prior to
1865, they moved to Noble County, Indiana.
Several of Emanuel’s children were born in Indiana. However, a couple were born in Kansas. He moved sometime prior to 1880. He ended up
in Clatsop County, Oregon where he died in 1926. There is a family lore that says he worked
for the railroad. But can’t find
proof. His son, Harry (also a paternal great grandparent), ended up in Idaho then Washington State.
I’m sure there are
others, I just haven’t worked in depth on those lines.
