Married ALBERT SWINDLE, date unknown.The closest birthdate I have on her is from one of her sons, born in Alabama in 1852.From a picture and family lore, Sarah is said to be Cherokee Indian. From the picture, she is definitely Indian.Serrie and Albert Swindle had the following children:

9. Crane Robinson Swindle, born January 21, 1852 ("C.R."). Unknown first wife, two children, Sarah Agnes Swindle GAINES ("Aggie") and William Albert ("Bud") Swindle, married to Belle Unknown. Bud and Belle had at least one son, Earl, who lived in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Crane's second wife was Mary Diana ABBOTT. They were married in Carbon Hill, Alabama on November 20, 1892. They had the following children:
Robert Ernest Swindle

At some point after the last child was born, Crane and Mary Diana Abbott to the Tupelo/Pontotoc, MS area, and later migrated to Dallas, Texas. Any information on Crane's mother Serrie or the Swindles OR Clemons/Clemmons would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
