General Notes: Husband - Jacob Swart
He was reared on a farm in Amwell Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he received his education in one of the old log school-houses of that day. He chose farming as a business, to which he devoted his entire time until forty years of age. He came to Greene County in 1842,
bought a farm in Washington Township in 1843, and in 1880 he bought a different farm. In 1861 he purchased an interest in a general store, and continued in business partnership for two years, when he became sole proprietor. He continued in the mercantile business for fifteen years, and sold his store in 1877. He was a Republican, but was always willing to vote for a good man for office, independent of party or politics. He was postmaster at Swart's for over seventeen years. He was one of those most instrumental in the building of the W. & W. Railroad. He was a member of the building committee and superintendent of the road for two years.
