John C. Swatzell, b. 1830 Greene Co. TN
John C. Swatzell was born 1830 at Greene County Tennessee. He married Nancy Jane Kent on 07 Nov 1852 at Stewart County Tennessee. You may see in some publications they were married at Trigg County Kentucky. Trigg does not have a record, but Stewart does. Nancy Jane was the daughter of Gordon Kent andGilley Jones. Nancy is on the 1850 Caldwell County Kentucky census, age 15, with parents and siblings.
John is on the 1860 Caldwell County census as C. Swatzel with Jane, age 25, and Benjamin, age 6, Fanny, age 4, and Mary, age 2. John is listed as a farmer. (If someone has a full page copy of the original census, I would appreciate a copy.)
By the 1870 census, John C., age 40 is in Trigg County as a blacksmith. It appears he has a new wife, Mary V., age 29. Benjamin J., age 15, Martha E. F. (believe is Fanny), age 1?, (my copy hard to read), Mary J., age 10 (should be 12), and John C., age 8 are in household.
I don't know what happened to Nancy Jane. I don't know if or when Mary V. married John C. or if John C. (son) is of this union. I do know Mary V. Swatzell's 3rd marriage at age 32 took place in Caldwell County at her residence to Arthur W. Worley on the 5th day of Feburary 1874. Mary Jane and Martha E. Swatzell were present. I don't know what happened to John C. (father). Or any others except for Mary Jane. I know Mary Jane's first marriage at age 16 was to George Atkins at William Williamson's in Caldwell County on 27 April 1875. Arthur Worley and B. F. Swatzell were present.
Two of Nancy Jane's brothers ended up in Gallatin/White County Illinois, later around northeast Arkansas, then on over into Southeast Missouri. I would appreciate any information on Kent or Swatzell or however the spelling comes out if it's in the line.
