Kim--while browsing through this site came across the information on Francis Swenor and Anna Peterson that you had posted. The information I have is that the children from this couple were William, Medos, Charles, Matilda and Laura. However I have been unable to locate the marriage record either from the county or state sources,sometime around the early 1880's.
According to the 1871 census for the Village of Trenton, Hastings County, Ontario, Francis Choinard (Swenor) was married to Louisa Beach and two children are listed. Francis and John. A newspaper article in the 1930's has Francis X. coming to Muskegon in 1875 but no mention of his wife Louisa. The children of this first marriage are in Muskegon in subsequent records. I have also not found the marriage record Francis and Louisa Beach from Ontario. Don't know what happened to Louisa but find no mention of her in Muskegon. Apparently this might be the person that is the source of rumors you mention. Still lots of work to do.
