General Notes: Husband - Zechariah Swearingen


He grew to manhood in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, attending the public schools, and at his father's death inherited one hundred and forty acres of the home estate. He purchased a nineteen acre tract adjoining, and on the one hundred and fifty-nine acre farm resulting conducted general farming operations. Throughout the locality he was regarded as an authority upon all thing equestrian, and by the casual advice he would offer to his neighbors in the course of a conversation probably deprived the local veterinarians of many a fee. In 1867-68 he erected a substantial dwelling on his farm. His political faith was Republican, and as a supporter of that party he was several times placed in local office by his neighbors.
