General Notes: Husband - Jacob Swagler, Sr.

---

He was a native of Germany, from which country he emigrated when a young man, and settled in eastern Pennsylvania. He remained there but a short time, and then came to Washington County, where he purchased the
farm later owned by his grandson Jacob. The deed given him by the state for this farm bore the signature of Governor Thomas Mifflin, the date Feb. 15, 1798; it was known as "Swagler's Delight."

He emigrated from Germany to America, and coming to Washington County, Pennsylvania, bought a farm on Pigeon creek, in Somerset township.

He and his wife raised a family of six children, only one of whom, Jonathan, made his home in Washington County.
