Joseph Swords - born 1828 in Tennessee
First posting on the SWORDS family forum.Looking for the parents of the man listed on the subject line.Here is what I know:1) I am told he is a grandson or great grandson of James SWORDS, of Revolutionary War fame; DAR certificate had been issued to a lady who is now deceased, 2)according to a Cherokee County, Kansas census, Joseph married lady named "Martha E." whose parents were both born in Ohio, 3)according to the same census, Joseph's parents were born in Tennessee and 4)Joseph and Martha had at least 6 children (one son, William, and 5 daughters).My nephew is about to marry into the SWORDS family; just trying to get a good start on my new niece's family line.Currently, I have over 238,000 names in my database; with a new niece coming on board, looks like I will never be able to put this hobby aside!
