Schwenk/Swink
I am looking for information about an ELIZABETH SWINK, born 1767, PA.Married a Richard Sheffer (Scheffer) on May 21, 1802 in Rowan Co.,NC.The bondsman was George Swink.Elizabeth and Richard moved to Leon Co., Tallahassee, Florida Territory about 1830.Their childrens's names were:John, Susanna and Christiana all born in NC.
I thought I had iditenfied Elizabeth's parents as William and Mary Schwenk of PA. but according to William's will, he lists Elizabeth as an Anderson.
The birthdate, place, brother and her nameing her children for her siblings make me believe she may have been William's (Johann Wilhelm Schwenk) daughter.
If anyone can shed some light on this, please let me know.
Did Elizabeth divorce this Mr. Anderson?Does anyone have a first name for him?
Thanks so much,
Liz
