Hi Diane.....
Thanks for the information, but it is still a HUGE puzzle.Over Christmas, my daughter and I went up to Guelph where my Grandmother Swackhammer was buried (married a Kenny).
While we were there, we photographed Hiram Swackhammer's tombstone which was erected by a daughter whose surname was Dryden.I do remember *Aunt Vera Dryden*.So I know for sure that this is MY Hiram Swackhammer.
There is some mixup in the family trees.My man had mostly daughters, and my grandmother was Martha Emeline Swackhammer.Hiram was married in Halton Congregationalist Church to Catherine Fisher and I have the newspaper clippings here of both of their deaths in Guelph.....at their daughter's home.
This was right except for the "Denny" name which is nowhere to be found in the records.All of the marriage details are right and I have an indication of where the wife was from and I think her name was probably German and originally spelled "Fischer".My uncle worked for the Fischer Brothers in Hamilton back in the 50's.Just a guess at the moment.

11. HIRAM DENNY SWACKHAMMER
Hiram SWACKHAMMER, 22, Esquesing, same, s/o Jacob & Mary SWACKHAMMER, married Catherine FISHER, 20, Erin, same, d/o Mathias & Deborah FISHER, witn; Robert FISHER & Nancy SMITH both of Erin, 1 Feb 1860 at Georgetown.
unquote......
It is my belief that there were two Swackhammer families living in the same area at the same time.If the children matched up, it would be no problem, but I have undeniable proof that my Hiram and his wife Catherine had two sons and six daughters.Have you seen this in your notes??
Feel free to write me at [email protected] if you have any other information or wish to get some from me.I also found another marvellous website where I got a lot of information on my Hiram.And the cemetery records in Guelph were quite informative.
Thanks very much....Heather
