General Notes: Husband - Hiram Swart


He was born on Rees creek, Greene County, Pennsylvania, and was brought by his parents to Ten-mile creek, Washington County, and was there reared after the manner of most farmer boys of his early day; his educational training being received in the primitive schools of his locality. The first property owned by him consisted of 160 acres of land in Amwell township, representing his share of 315 acres deeded by his mother to him and his brother Philip; and he afterward purchased the latter's portion. To this nucleus of 315 acres he added, from time to time, until he was the possessor of over one thousand acres of prime farm land.
He was in sympathy with the principles of the Whig and Republican parties. He and his wife were long-time members of the Presbyterian Church.
