General Notes: Husband - Basil Swearingen

---

At an early age he became interested in agriculture and succeeded in acquiring about one thousand acres of woodland, on the head waters of King's creek. By his industry and energy this was converted into productive farms, upon which were kept large numbers of sheep, the wool from these affording the bulk of the income. Another important production of the farms in those days was flax, which was grown in large quantities and manufactured into linen for home use, and some of it was sold.

He donated land for the Methodist Episcopal Cemetery, and in this quiet yard he and his wife lie buried side by side.

Different sources give very different lists of their children.
