General Notes: Husband - William Swanzey, Esq.

near Jacksonville, Centre Co, PA

He married in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and they came to Nittany valley, Centre County, in 1784, when it was yet a wilderness. There was then only an Indian path around the mountain, and they had to leave their wagon, pack their goods upon horses, and the wagon remained there for a year. He was (with his son-in-law, Robert Boggs, and Andrew Gregg) one of the trustees named in the act erecting the county, and was a prominent, useful citizen. He died at his place below Jacksonville, in Lamar township, aged seventy-nine years.
