HARBAUGH-SWANEY Connection, Frederick Co, MD, 1700s
In searching for the father of my Jacob SWANEY (Senior), b. 1788 in MD, most probably Frederick Co., I kept running across the surname HARBAUGH on the same census microfilm pages.I also have found, at www.familysearch.org, the LDS website, a 1772 birth record for Christina HARBAUGH with William SWENEY listed as her spouse.Also at the same website is a christening record for Jacob SWAINEY, 11 Oct 1788 at Apples Lutheran & Reformed Church, Thurmont, Frederick Co., MD, listing parents as William SWAINEY & his wife Christina.
Jacob SWANEY, Sr. and his wife Elizabeth had at least 3 kids and each of those has a child named William.
Am I stretching too far to assume I've found the right father for my Jacob SWANEY?Do any of you have a HARBAUGH-SWANEY connection?
