General Notes: Husband - Jacob Swineford

---

Middleburg, Snyder Co, PA

He was a drover by occupation, and was murdered on the night of July 4, 1826, at Lebanon, Pennsylvania, where he had just sold all but fifty in a drove of 380 sheep. It is believed the crime was committed by persons who knew of this transaction. Mr. Swineford met at the hotel an old acquaintance, a Mr. Greenwalt, and they walked out together on Hill street. When opposite an alley they were attacked by three men, and Mr. Greenwalt, who was knocked down twice, finally succeeded in getting away. As he escaped he called out to Mr. Swineford to run also, but a few moments later some boys passing the spot found a man lying on the ground. A light was brought, and Mr. Swineford was recognized, but he expired almost immediately. Arrests were made, but no convictions followed, and the names of the murderers remained unknown.
