General Notes: Husband - Samuel Swabe


He passed his youth near the home place in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was a shoemaker and followed his trade until 1850, when he bought a farm in Fallowfield township, Washington County, to which the family removed in 1851. In 1855 he was elected justice of the peace, serving in that capacity for five years, and filling many other local offices. At his death he owned 265 acres of land, later occupied by his son.
