I have a McLister ancestor who left Larne, Antrim, Ireland in 1819 for the U.S. I do not know if James and Ann McLister were born in Antrim or elsewhere, but they and 3 of their children (John, Margaret, and Alexander) sailed from…
I have been doing research on multiple families located in Tipton County Tennessee. In my attempt to untangle the Simonton and McCain families, I find that one of the sons of William Simonton and Mary McDill died in Alabama. A record on…

Thanks Ginger, it would be nice to have a copy of the death certificate ... Mr Swygart is one of those little mysteries and anomalies in my family line. The strange thing is that he married Regina Deaton Cashion after her husband Andrew Maxwell…

worked on solving one mystery with the family research this afternoon, but the more i found the more questions i have.
i was interrupted and forgot to list the names of Swygarts listed in the U.S. City Directories collection in Ancestry .... there is a Henry O Swygart, a Miss Bettie Swygart, and a Madam Etta Swygart listed .... i can't wait to find more. :)
i haven't found anything yet ... will have to wait until next week when i can return to the FHC where i have access to Ancestry files. i did locate some teasers in Ancestry ... there are several Swygarts listed in the US City Directories…
you might check Iredell county and see if there is a marriage record for them? Seems like they married circa 1899 if the 1910 census is correct? Do you have an immigration year for William/Frederick?
this does sound odd, but thats what makes research interesting :)
I'm sure this was a scandal back then since Mr Swygart was 11 years younger than Regina. I wonder how the children felt about living with with their grandparents and their mother…

Hi Stephen, there is a death certificate for William F Swygart in the North Carolina Death Records database on ancestry.com. Please let me know if you do not have a subscription and would like a copy of it. He died 24 Aug 1911 in Mooresville, Iredell Co., NC. He was born 10 Mar 1867 in Germany.

William was born Mar 10 1867, died Aug 24, 1911, he was 43 years 5 months, 14 days.. He was buried in Mooresville, Iredell, NC, no cemetery is listed, unless Mooresville was the name of the cemetery?
He was married at the time of his death,(name given as Mrs W.F. Swygart) and interesting the coroner was an E.C Deaton.

I found a death record for William F Swygart, who died in Iredell County, NC in 1911. He was married, it does not list his wife's name. Its interesting that on Regina's death record, she is listed as Regina Deaton Cashion, not Swygart, if they actually married, its odd.
But, I just checked the 1910 census, and he matches the death record. He died in Mooresville, and was a harness maker. The 1910 census states that he and Regina were married 11 years.

In 1900, I find a Wilmer Cashion living with his inlaws, he had married a Minnie "Softly" less that a year before the 1900 census. He was born circa 1877. They were in Mecklenberg County. I find his wife's death record, but not his yet-
