Edna Margaret Swindell

I just answered your post on the O'Neil forum as well.I did not know Mary's maiden name was Wilson, so that helped.Nor did I know the "M" in Edna's name was Margaret.Thank you.
I've been researching this family this weekend and would like to determine if they are related to the other North Carolina Swindells.They are presently in my "unknown" file.Here is what I have so far on this line:
* Edna was the daughter of William J. Swindell and Mary Wilson.William seems to have been married to someone named Samantha first. They had a daughter named Ida. I suspect she died young.
* William was the son of Joshua Swindell and Hulda (unknown maiden name).
Joshua and Hulda came from North Carolina, which is why I suspect the connection. I am wondering if he may have been the son of Silas Swindell and Nancy Gibbs. William was born in Ohio, so the family lived there for a period of time or were passing through. They lived in Parke County and Vermillion County in Indiana according to census records.
