Notes

  • For a long time I could find no information indicating that Sarah H McSwain ever married.  Finally in March 2008, I found one family genealogy, by Shane Hamrick, that reported the spouse of Susannah H McSwain.  She married James Louis Hamrick in 1872.  James was born in 1852 and died in 1907, according to Shane.

    In the 1850 census she is listed as 2 years old.  But family genealogies report her birth date as 24 December 1846.  This would mean that in August 1850, she would have been 3 and almost 4.

    William McSwain 44 M Baptist Preacher $150 Real Estate born North Carolina
    Judith McSwain 41 F born North Carolina
    Sarah H McSwain 2 F born North Carolina

    The census age in 1860 matches the age reported in the 1850 census.  I wonder if along the way somewhere, the family mis-recorded the year of her birth.
