NOTE - I am unsure as to the actual identity of the daughter "Charlie E. Swearingen". According to the age given, she would have been born about 1864. There was an "Ella A. Swearingen" who was supposedly born in 1862. Otherwise, there was a son born in 1864 with the name of Emmet Lincoln Swearingen.
