Quoted from : Family Register published December 1894;

"PREFACE.

"In the preparation of this edition of the Family Register I am indebted for information other than that pertaining to their respective families to Judge Basil S. Ramsey, of Plattsmouth, Neb.; to Mr. Eldred M. Swearingen, of Tuskeega, Ala.; to Mr. Archibald Means, of Peru, Ill.; to Miss Emma V. Mullan, of Washington, D. C.; and to Lieutenant James C. Cresap, of the United States Navy. Lieutenant Cresap furnished the information, gathered from the State archives at Annapolis, Md., showing that our first American ancestor was Thomas. To the late Mr. Henry B. Swearingen, of Circleville, 0H., belongs the credit for making it possible for this genealogy to be published. In 1841 he gathered of old men of the family name in Maryland and elsewhere information
sbowing the genealogical lines from Gerret down to many of his descendants.

"Most of the information concerning Gerret was obtained from "Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New York," published by authority of the legislature of' that State in ten large volumes from 1835 to 1877, the tenth volume being almost wholly devoted to "the Colony on the South River." Official records in Washington, D. C., and at several places in Maryland have afforded data.

"The orthography of the name as written by Gerret was 'van Sweringen.' The dropping of the prefix 'van' and the interpolation of the 'a' was probably done during the lifetime of Thomas. He grew up in an English-speaking community, and it was therefore as natural for him to insert the 'a' as it was for him to drop the 'van.' That he did drop the 'van' is shown by the fact that Van was a given name for one of his sons. 'Swearingen' has been the prevailing method of spelling the name to the present time. Of the few other changes that have been made some were from preference, others unintentional.«tab»H. H S.

"WASHINGTON, December, 1894."

Quoted from pages 62-64 in the above quoted Family Register:

"SAMUEL, was born in Hanover township, Beaver county, Pa., January 7, 1807. He was the second son of a large family. His entire married life was passed on the farm on which he died and almost within sight of where lie was born.

"No man in the neighborhood in which lie lived was more respected or more implicitly trusted. Although lie lived almost to the age of seventy-four and had administered on several estates he was never sued at law and never brought suit against another. While he was familiarly known among friends and neighbors as 'Capt. Sam,' from having, in his early manhood, succeeded his father as captain of a company of militia, he loved peace rather than war. The sword he carried at this time is kept at the old homestead as a memento of former days. He was a quiet, unassuming man. He read a great deal, especially during the winter season. The last few years of his life he suffered much from an affliction which caused his death December 1, 1880. His first wife was Miss Rowena Chapman, of New Cumberland, W. Va. To them was born one daughter, Rowena. The mother died the following year. About four years later, or 1835, he was again married, to Miss Martha Spivey, who is still living at Poe, Pa., in her eighty-first year. Of her it may properly be said a truer wife and a worthier mother 'twould be hard to find. Intensely loving and devoutly Christian, she possesses every trait of noble womanhood.

"Children:

"William B., born March 12, 1849, was educated in the public schools of his native State and at Alliance College and the Hopedale Normal School, both of Ohio. He has taught for more than twenty years, the greater part of the time as principal or superintendent of' schools - was for three years a president of a college in Missouri Since maturity he has lived in the following States: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Nebraska, Missouri, and Indiana. He is now superintendent of the public schools at Argos, Marshall county, Ind.

"He was married in 1878 to Miss Flora Bell Briggs, of Industry, Pa. This union has been blessed with five bright, healthy boys: Wilmot Briggs, born, November 29, 1878; Frederick Stanley, born February 8, 1881; Claude Vivian, born February 8, 1883; Willie Ellis, born January 27, 1887; and Wade Hamnet, born March 21, 1891.

"The contributor desires to say here that this particular family have done, and are doing, their part meekly but earnestly, to maintain the honor and prestige of' the ancient and honorable name - 'Van Swearingen.'"
