Swaffords of Fentress County, TN
I am researching my maternal grandfather Henry Leo Swafford and his family. He was born in 1907 or 1908 in Jamestown, Fentress, TN to George Swafford and Hallie (Mahallie, Mahala, Haley) Belle Hensley (Hendsley, Hinsley). I believe George's father was named William, and his mother Clarissa, Claricy, Klaricy, or such. No idea who Belle's parents were. George was born possibly on 10 March 1868 and Belle a few years later. They were possibly married in Scott County or Fentress County. I am searching for a marriage record. They both died in Kentucky and are buried there. Henry had siblings: John Swafford (b. about 1897), William Garfield (b. 1898), Leona (b. about 1901), Marie or Mary (b. about 1905), and Ellen (b. about 1910). In 1910 the family was living in Scott County, TN, in 1920 in Morgan County, TN. Between 1920 and 1930 they moved to Floyd County, KY. William Garfield Swafford was killed by gunshot wounds in 1930, his wife apparently was named Arzona. I cannot find any record of her. Any information anyone could provide other than the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses would be a big help.
