The correct surname for Eli P. Swangle is Loranger.The 1880-MI census for Williamston Dist 143 (Ingham Co.) is clearly LORANGER.Also, the Lobdell book by Julia Harrison Lobdell, p. 33 names Eli P. Loranger. Another mis-spelling is Scranger.It is easy to see how mis-read handwriting could result in these errors.I hope this will help anyone who is still searching in vain for Swangle and/or Scranger.
