The June 5, 1900 Muncie Indiana Federal census lists her with the surname Swallow, the daughter of Frank and Lizzie Swallow (however, it also lists her as being two years of age).

The birth certificate of her daughter Depaza Gregg lists her maiden name as McSherry. This is supported by the 1930 census, where she is listed as living with James B. and Depeza McSherry and is listed as "daughter." However, the 1900 and 1910 census both list Depeza McSherry as having given birth to 0 children. In this same 1930 census is listed a William Swallow, listed as a widowed brother-in-law (age 42) to the head of household, James McSherry. Viola (Mrs. Russell) Frantom is listed as "daughter" on Depeza's death certificate as well.

In researching this, it appears that Viola's mother, Lizzie O'Shea/Shay, married Frank O. Swallow in Delaware County, Indiana in 1893. Depeza McSherry was Lizzie's sister (Viola's aunt). There is a Francis O. Swallow listed having died in Wayne County, Indiana on November 7, 1907 (no spouse listed) but no further listing of Lizzie.
