Narrative

Note: Researching Mary (Weible) Swihart and family

The text Christian Metzger: Founder of an American Family 1682-1942 (p182) gives no information for Mary other than to say she married "Samuel Swinhart." I had suspected this might be the same Samuel Swihart (b. about 1814, Pennsylvani) whose second wife was Christina Weible, daughter of John Jacob Weible and thus a niece of Mary's. I had researched Samuel and Christina previously while working on John Jacob's lineage, and at the time I had noted that living with them in 1860, just five years after their marriage, were older Swihart-surnamed children who were almost certainly from a previous marriage of Samuel's. Two of those children, William and John, were born prior to the 1850 US Census, and thus should have been counted in his household in that record.

With this information, I had found a marriage record for "Samuel Swinhard" and Mary Weible in Tuscarawas Cty, Ohio on 9 Nov 1837, and the 1840 US Census record in York Twp, Tuscarawas Cty for the household of Samuel Swihart that included a couple in their twenties, a boy under five, and a woman between the ages of forty and fifty.

During a later search for information on one of Mary's younger brothers (Daniel Weible), I found a record from the 1850 US Census for York Twp. for "Samuel Swihard" with wife Mary and several children, along with two young Weible men (Daniel and George C., two of Mary's youngest brothers). The children in the listing included eldest son Joseph M., age eleven, who would have been the one child counted in the 1840 US Census, and two young sons, William and John, whose presence in Samuel's household in 1860 was noted above. These confluences linked the households both to the same Samuel Swihart and to the Weible family, specifically Mary Weible's family.

The 1860 listing included one more Swihart child - daughter Anne M., age nine - who would have been too old to have been born to Samuel's second marriage and thus must have been Mary's daughter. This daughter would have been born about 1851, and Samuel remarried in 1855, which strongly suggests that Mary died sometime in the years between those two events.

Samuel was among the younger of what seems to have been a group of Swihart siblings that came from Pennsylvania into the area of northeastern Ohio, primarily Tuscarawas Cty and Stark Cty, and so I would find it unlikely that the older woman in his household in 1840 was his mother. Mary had no immediate relations who would have been unmarried or widowed at that age in 1840. It is possible this was an older sister or cousin, or even someone unrelated to the family, but at this time I can only speculate as to this woman's identity.

As for Mary's children, my initial searches have turned up very little past the 1850 and 1860 US Census listings for Samuel's household.
