Bio:
he died 23 Feb 1864, aged
62 years, 11 months, 22 days. That makes his date of birth 1 Apr 1801.
I have no proof for some of the following, but I believe it to be true.
Cornelius Swain (Junior) was the son of Cornelius Swain and Ann Frazier, and was
probably born in Tyrell County, North Carolina. He first married Martha L.
Tibbs. The Swain family moved to Kentucky, where Martha died in 1835 in Logan
County, Kentucky. Cornelius then married Lydia Harrell or Harold?, probably in
Logan County, about that time, and they are found in Russellville, Logan County,
Kentucky in the 1850 US Census. They apparently moved from Kentucky to Illinois
between 1850 and 1858.
Lydia died in Illinois in 1858, Cornelius in 1864, and they are buried
side-by-side in the Liberty Cemetery, Franklin Co., Illinois. Cornelius Swain,
Sr. is buried in Brown County, Illinois, Memorial #32291319, and Cornelius
junior should be linked to his father.
