Married Bonnie MITCHELL

Notes

  • ----------------------
    My father was Jack Osborne McSwain.  He died in Pembroke Pines, Florida.  His father was William Boyd McSwain, who was married to Bonnie Mitchell, had 3 boys, she died and he remarried Mary Kiser, they had 2 girls.

    Next comes Osborne Benjamin McSwain.  He was married to Amanda Childers.  They were from down about Cherokee County SC.  Osborne's father was Thomas Asbury McSwain, mother Alice (Aly Ann) Carpenter.  Then comes Charles McSwain who was married to Luraner Washburn McSwain.  He and she had abt 16 children together.  She died.  I should have her death date somewhere in my records, probably in the 1840s, he then married my g.g.g.grandmother Sarah L Throckmorton.

    Charles's father was David McSwain, I think his mother was Catherine Robertson.

    "The first wife of William Boyd McSwain was Bonnie Mitchell, daughter of Hiram and Francis Clercie Sizemore Mitchell.  She had the 3 boys by William (William Boyd JR, Jack and Robert).  My step-grandmother Mary Kiser had Betty and ,Carolyn who I really through the years haven't got to know.  Bonnie died in 1929 in Newberry, SC with TB.  William and Bonnie's residence at that time was East Robinson St, Gaffney, SC."
    --  Larry McSwain, Comment on an Ancestry genealogy, 22 October 2014

    William was widowed early, being reported as the widowed father of 7-year-old William, in his mother's hosuehold with his two younger single brothers.  However, Mary's granddaughter Susan Howard reports that Maybelle was not Mary's middle name but was Mary's twin sister who was stillborn.  She also reports that Mary was not fist marrie dot someone named Jack as those genealogies report.  Boyd McSwain, whom we report here, was her first husband.

    "Incorrect information is she was previously married to Jack no last name given.  Mary had a twin, Maybelle who was still born but Mary survived.  Mary Kiser married William Boyd McSwain (known as Boyd).  This was her first marriage his second.  They had two daughters Betty (my mother) and Daisey Carolyn.  Boyd died from pneumonia and complications from Diabetes.  Mary later married Arthur Echols Early, no children between the two but he had several from his first marriage.  After his death she married Maurice Eggers, they had no children and there were none from his first marriage.  Mary’s daughter Betty is living but Daisey Carolyn is deceased."
