Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Dorsey P. SWINDLER was born about 1790 in Pennsylvania (son of Samuel SWINDLER and Margaret MILLS); died on 4 Feb 1828 in Louisiana.

    Notes:

    Dorsy served in the War of 1812 with Captain Le Douxs Cavalry Company
    Louisiana Volunteers.
    Census 1820 West Baton Rouge, LA, p. 82
    Dorsey P. Swindler married Elizabeth Mills. the Couple had one child
    Elizabeth. Dorsey Swindler entered into a second marriage to Elizabeth
    "Puoponne" Mahiers, the daughter of Dr. Michel and Francoise
    Segaillot. The second marriage produced six children: Joseph, Eugene,
    Pauline, Emmeline, Gilbert and Louis.
    Dorsey and Elizabeth. He acquired a tract of land of some 240 arpents
    in south West Baton Rouge, LA. At Dorsey's death on February 4, 1828
    in West Baton Rouge, his estate came to $16,743.
    It seems that Dorsey had married Elizabeth with out signing a prior
    marrage contract, and that none was signed by the time Dorsey died.
    Thus Elizabeth's brother Joseph said Elizabeth's personal property
    should not have been in community. It was all setteled by a law suit
    which granted Elizabeth the sums she had inherited.

    Dorsey married Elizabeth MAHIERS on 22 Oct 1815 in Point Coupee, Louisiana. Elizabeth (daughter of Michel MAHIER and Francisca Maria SEGOILLET) was born on 22 Apr 1791 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; died on 4 Mar 1881 in Baton Rouge, LA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Samuel SWINDLER was born about 1750 in Pennsylvania (son of Henry SWINDLER and Mary CLAYTON); died about 1810 in Fayette Co, Pennsylvania.

    Notes:

    We must begin the story of Samuel Swindler with the assumption that he
    was born about 1754, when his parents were living in New Brunswick
    Township Middlesex County New Jersey. We know from other sources, (see
    Henry Swindler), that his parents remained in New Jersey until about
    1770. Then they moved to Cameron Parish, Loudon County Virginia. It is
    there that the first record of Samuel is located. He is listed as of
    tithable age, i.e. 16 years old or older, with two Henry Swindlers,
    likely his father and brother, in the same household.1 Samuel remained
    in Loudon County for three years, 1770 to 1772, and then moved to
    Augusta County, Virginia, where he received a land grant of 400 acres
    on Salt Lick Creek. In 1781. Samuel assigned the land to Jacob
    Israel.2 In 1774, Samuel is again listed as a tithable in Loudon
    County, Virginia.3 However, according to a pension application filed
    by James Troy, enlisted as a sergeant in 1774, and was under
    Lieutenant Phil Pierce, Lieutenant Sam Swindler, Captain Robert
    Fenole, Captain Lewis Rogers, Colonel Wm. Mc Cleery, at Statler's
    Fort, Monmouth County, Virginia.4 In 1776, Lieutenant Sam Swindler
    served in the Virginia Militia for two months in Monongalia County,
    Virginia. (Monongalia County, Virginia is now Green County,
    Pennsylvania).5 On 2 April 1777, Samuel signed as a witness to the
    transfer of land from Teagarden to Teagarden in Fayette County,
    Pennsylvania.6 Later, Lieutenant Samuel Swindler/Swingler/Swinler, (he
    is listed under all three surnames), under Lieutenant William Cross
    marched from Jarrett's Fort to Whitley Creek and then to Fort Pitt as
    a member of Captain John Minor's Company of Virginia Militia.7
    According to the pension application of Leonard Garrison, who was
    drafted into the Militia at Garrad's Fort in July 1777, he spent the
    next two months under Captain Samuel Swindler.8 A Henry Sykes also
    served under Captain Sam Swindler at Gerrard's Fort, in 1777 and
    1778.9 From 11 November 1777 to 5 March 1778, Militia Lieutenant Sam's
    Swindler served at Scott's Mill.10 In his application for a pension,
    Francis Bedle of Waren County, Ohio stated, "I was one of four Militia
    Sergeants in Washington County, Pennsylvania upon which a draught of
    four months was made for one to go into service. I joined Captain
    Cross's Company which crossed the Ohio River and took up their
    rendezvous on the banks below Big Beaver Creek where we built Fort
    McIntosh. General McIntosh was the commanding general,...Evans was
    Colonel of the Regiment to which Captain Cross's company belonged.
    Colonel Crawford, Brigade Major Daniel Light and Captain Crow were
    also there. Samuel Swindler was Lieutenant and adjutant and James
    Wilke was Ensign of Captain Cross's Company. Colonel Belar was also
    there and held his rank in the field...".11 In, Josiah Pricket's,
    application for a pension, he stated that, "...I served for three
    months, beginning 1 May 1778, under Captain Samuel Swindler and
    Lieutenant Swearington... my sergeant was Henry Sykes and the company
    was billeted at Garrard's Fort."12 From 5 March 1778 to 24 June 1778,
    Militia Captain Sam'l Swindler was stationed at Fort Garrard.13 In
    1833, Eliel Long, in his pension application stated, "I served under
    Captain Samuel Swindler twice during 1780, and in 1781, we served
    under Crawford. " (Colonel William Crawford?)14 In March 1779, Samuel
    was in Washington County, Pennsylvania and purchased two shirts at the
    estate sale of Barnet O'neal.15 Samuel must not have been too
    impressed with either Pennsylvania or Virginia, because while both
    states were claiming the southwestern corner of what is now
    Pennsylvania, he signed a petition to the Continental Congress
    requesting that a new state be formed from that part of
    Pennsylvania/Virginia.16 In 1781, Samuel Swindler was listed in
    Washington County, Pennsylvania, Militia drafts in John Gather's
    District.17 In 1782, the First Battalion of Washington County,
    Pennsylvania was recruited in Whitely and Green Townships, (now Green
    County), with few men from Dunkard Township. The captain was John
    Guthrey and Samuel Swindler served under him.18 On 13 December 1782,
    Samuel was listed in the appearance docket for the December term of
    the Court of Common Pleas in Bassetville, Washington County, PA, in
    the matter of John Minnor vs Amos Miller and Samuel Swindler.19 Samuel
    was in Fayette County, Pennsylvania on, 22 August 1785 and witnessed
    the transfer of property from Samuel and William Douglas to Peter
    Armstrong.20 In 1785 and 1786, Samuel is listed in the Return of State
    Tax for the County of Fayette, Luzerne Township.21 Samuel is listed in
    the Pennsylvania Tax lists for Fayette County, Luzerne Township from
    1787 to 1790, from 1795 to 1800, and in 1810. His occupation is listed
    as a carpenter.22 On 19 December 1789, Samuel witnessed the signing of
    a deed between Thos. Durban and Thos. Stokley, in Fayette County.23 In
    the 1790, U.s.. Census of Pennsylvania, Samuel is listed as living in
    Fayette County, Springhill Township, with one white male over 16,
    himself?, a white male under 16, two white females and three other
    free persons. In 1794, Samuel was getting his supplies from Wm. Seaton
    or Oliver Crawford, who operated a store on Muddy Creek in Green
    County, Pennsylvania.24 Samuel is listed as living in Washington
    County, Cumberland Township, Pennsylvania in 1794.25

  1. 8.  Henry SWINDLER was born about 1725 in Monmouth Co. NJ (son of Henry SWINDLER and UNKNOWN); died in 1792 in Loudoun County, Virginia.

    Notes:

    The first document we located on our Henry Swindler (Swingler) is
    dated February 1746. It is the marriage record of Henry Swingler, a
    carpenter, and Mary Clayton. Both parties are residents of Freehold,
    New Jersey, the county seat of Monmouth County, New Jersey, which is
    about seventeen miles from Middletown, New Jersey where the first
    Henry Swingler died in July 1724/25.1 On March 16, 1749/50, Henry was
    listed as a contributor to the building of Old Tennent Meeting House,2
    a church located near Freehold, New Jersey. An example of Henry's
    signature is included in the book.3 Sometime after contributing to the
    building of Tennent Meeting House and 14 December 1752, Henry and his
    family moved to New Brunswick Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey,
    where he is listed a being a Freeholder. ie a voter.4 In 1758, Henry
    was listed as a contributor to the building of the parsonage for the
    Cranbury Church in Cranbury, New Brunswick Township, Middlesex County,
    New Jersey.5 In April 1758, Henry was sued in the Court of Common
    Pleas, New Brunswick, Middlesex County, by William Harket for 27
    pounds and 40 shillings, his co- defendant was Samuel Mount.6 On 14
    April 1760, Henry witnessed the will of Simon Horn, in Middlesex
    County, New Jersey.7 During the April 1762 term of the Court of Common
    Pleas, New Brunswick Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey, Henry
    served on the jury, in the case of William Hetfield vs Mordecai
    Marsh.8 On 8 October 1765, Henry was sued by Thomas Lawrie for 23
    pounds 11 shillings and 9 pence.9 (Note: This is the first time
    Henry's last name was found to be spelled Swindler, on all documents
    previously cited, his name is spelled Swinler or Swingler.) This
    action against Henry was continued in the Court of Common Pleas and
    Quarter Sessions, on 20 January 1767.10 The reader may note that there
    are no land records mentioned, this is not because we did not search
    for land records, rather it is because we could not find any land
    records for Henry. References to land records we did find are in the
    following documents.
    1 April 1761, and recorded on 8 May 1771, a deed between John
    Clayton of Freehold, Monmouth County, New Jersey and Joseph Clayton of
    New Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey was executed. This deed
    transferred two hundred acres, excepting five acres where Henry
    Swingler dwelled.11
    On 29 June 1790, Charles Barclay and others transferred land to
    the Board of Trustees of the first Presbyterian Church in Cranbury,
    Middlesex County, New Jersey, and in the description of the land is
    the statement, "... beginning at the southeast corner of a tract or
    lot of land belonging to Henry Swinler."12
    In a deed dated 18 October 1805, the Executors of the estate of
    Adam Newell sold some property to John and Jesse Newell, and in the
    description of the property it states, "... land adjacent to land of
    Henry Swinler."13
    Note: At the time the second deed was executed, Henry had been
    in Virginia for twenty years. In the case of the last deed, Henry had
    been dead for twelve years when it was recorded. There may be an
    explanation for this: The deeds may have been copied from original
    deeds, and when the original deed was drawn the land in question was
    occupied by Henry, without benefit of title to the land.
    Sometime prior to 1770, Henry and his family left New Jersey and
    became residents of Cameron Parish, Loudon county Virginia. Henry
    remained there until he died in October 1792.14 On 11 November 1773,
    Henry was sued by William Savage for 44 pounds 8 shillings and 8
    pence. Henry failed to come to court and Savage won a judgement
    against Henry.15 On 13 November 1773, Henry was issued a summons to
    appear in Court in December to answer certain charges brought against
    him by Joseph Skelton. The case remained active in the Loudon County,
    Virginia Courts until 1791. The suit in question, concerned a debt
    Henry allegedly owed to Joseph Skelton. According to Henry, he and his
    son, John, had worked out the debt by repairing Joseph Skelton's mill.
    Henry produced am itemized account of the hours he and his son had
    worked on the mill. Earlier, the case had been before a court in New
    Jersey and Henry testified that he was told the matter had been
    dropped. The amount Skelton claimed Henry owed him was 5 pounds and
    Henry refused to pay him. The whole matter was dropped until after the
    Revolution when Joseph Skelton Jr. appeared and demanded Henry pay him
    6 pounds 8 shillings in Virginia Currency, plus damages and interest
    from 9 November 1762. (The date of a promissory note Henry had given
    to Joseph Skelton Sr. in Middlesex County, New Jersey.) The Jury
    agreed with Joseph Skelton Jr. and ordered Henry to pay him. Three
    years later Henry returned to court and received an injunction in
    Chancery that enjoined Joseph Skelton Jr. from proceeding against him
    in proceedings at common law. Joseph Skelton Sr. had died prior to the
    suit brought against Henry by Joseph Skelton Jr. The final entry on
    the matter is dated 17 June 1791, when the injunction was made
    perpetual.16 In May 1781, Henry submitted a Public Service Claim to
    the State of Virginia for three hundred pounds of beef he had sold to
    the government. His claim was approved and he was paid 5 pounds 2
    shillings. On 4 October 1793 his estate received 3 pounds 17
    shillings, from the United States Collect Commissioners for more beef
    he had sold.17 On 8 October 1792, a letter of administration was
    granted to Jonathan Swindler to administer the estate of Henry
    Swindler deceased.18
