The roots of the Swarts family were put down in Luzerne County Pennsylvania with the birth of Peter Swarts in 1796. He married Connecticut born Elizabeth Dolph (some accounts call her Susan). They migrated to Indiana. There they had five children: Elizabeth, Rueben, George, Mary and Thomas Swarts.
George the middle son (born Nov. 26, 1826) married Margaret Johnson in 1849 when he was 23 years old. Margaret died in 1868 leaving five children: William Cyrus, Emma, Alice, Laura and Clara (who died when she was young).
George Swarts then married his first wife's sister, a widow, Amanda Johnson Doner and moved his family to Iowa, where another daughter Kate was born.
