    David Holden does excellent work, and continues to develop his reconstruction of the McSwain line.  In April 2011 he updated his information on Hugh Kerr McSwain providing some important details and filling out Hugh's family from two marriages.  David does not provide any documentation or discussion, but his work is solid.

    In 1910, Hugh is enumerated as the widowed head of the household and his parents are living with him and his children.  However, it appears what happened is that Hugh moved into his parents' home after his wife died.  Next census, 1920, Hugh has moved to Limestone County, where he is living with his new wife Lizzie Fulton, and the earlier children are still in Cherokee County, in the home of their grandparents.
