Definitely same family. John J son of Mark and Grace died of spinal meningitis at less than 1 year of age.
Mark's father was John Swain. I have Mark's death certificate and obit. I have tracked several of his children and most of his siblings. Everything about Mark's mother has her listed as Kate, Catherine or Katherine. I have found the record of John and Kate's marriage.
The 2nd cousins of my fathers are children of Marian Swain McShane, grandchildren of John W Swain (brother of Mark) and Great Grandchildren of John and Kate. They have also confirmed that Mark was one of the brothers and he married a Zollinger.
Kate is not buried in Greenlawn with John or in St. Joseph with much of the rest of the family. I have been unable to confirm when she would have died. I lost her about 1902 when she is no longer listed in the Columbus City Directories.
The Zollinger plot at Greenlawn starts with Jacob (1799 in PA) and Easter Truman(1812). Jacob's children Jefferson, James T and Charles W are buried in the large plot with their wives and some of their children.
Livonia Richards (daughter of Hiram) is Grace's mother.
Check out this website that has people buried at Greenlawn in Columbus. The Columbus library has the Greenlawn internment cards (on microfilm) that have additional information on them.
