Swayne's Ohio approx 1823

Hi

My great great great Grandmother was named Pheobe Swayne. From the back of a picture we have it appears that her mother's name was either Hanna or Anna. She was born according to her obit 22 December 1823 in Franklin Ohio and died in Aledo IL on 1 October 1900. (we're not sure if Franklin is the town or county she was born in)

The picture of Hanna or Anna Swayne (her mother) was taken in Columbus Ohio.

Pheobe married a man named Forrester(we are not sure where the marriage took place or his first name). They had a son, Robert Thomas Forrester born 14 June 1843 supposedly according to his civil war papers in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Pheobe's husband supposedly died according to my great grandmother's notes. Pheobe later shows upin Mercer County IL in 1858 when she married Samuel Darbyshire on 10 March 1858.
They adopted a daughter named Jennie.

Robert Thomas Forrester served in the Civil War. Married Harriet Middleton, also of Mercer County IL. Their son Harry E Forrester was my Great Grandfather.

Does anyone know who Pheobe's father could have been? Or is anyone related?

Mary
