Julie Daniels

Registered surname(s):
Schwebel,
Swavely
on April 3, 2005

Comments: I am constantly looking for Swavely ancestors. Family History is a hobby of mine and I have ancestors that lived in Woodchoppertown. Some Swavely ancestors:

Samuel Edwin Swavely – 3 Mar 1881 – 3 Jun 1925
George H. Swavely – 11 Apr 1851 in Earl Twp. – 25 Mar 1914
Ephriam Swavely – 5 Sep 1825 in Earl Twp. – 30 Jan 1884 (Supposedly buried in Longswamp Cemetery)
Abraham Swavely – 31 May 1791 in Earl Twp. – 1884
Michael Swavely (Schwebel) – abt. 1772 in Earl Twp. to abt. 1836
Hans Adam Schwebel – abt. 1736 in Hessen, Germany, md. Anna Margaretha Moser and died 28 Mar 1816 in Earl Twp.

I don’t have very much information but would like to find others that are looking along this line.

Dale Shawver Dansereau

Registered surname(s):
Schaber
on June 5, 2005

Comments: I am interested in finding anything of the Johann Christoph Schaber family.
I found a Christoper Schaber buried in the Zion (Red) Church cemetery but would like to know know if there is anything more on Johann’s family. I believe, but can’t prove, that my family comes from this line.
My family name is Shawver.

David G. Davis

Registered surname(s):
Beery,
Beri,
Bieri,
Biery,
Biri
on April 9, 2011

Comments: I have some reason to believe that one of my ancestors named Philip
Bery (various spellings) may be the Philip Beery etc. who appears in
some records in Berks County (Longswamp Church in the 1770s and tax
records for 1767 in Longswamp Twp.) “My” Philip appears to have left
Pennsylvania in the late 1700s, migrating to the Shenandoah Valley and
settling near Fincastle, Botetourt County, Viriginia, where he first
appears in records in 1819. He died there in 1831. He is believed to
have married Elizabeth Dilling/Delling/Dellin ca. 1768. They may have
lived in Cumberland County, Penn., sometime before migrating to
Virginia. Their children included Mary Elizabeth Peery Miller (b.
1769, my GGGGM), Abraham (b. ca. 1790), Daniel (b. ca. 1779), and
probably others. Philip signed his name in old German cursive script
as “Bery”. English legal clerks wrote it as “Peery” which was adopted
by the next generation and created confusion with a prominent Scots-
Irish family of that name in the Shenandoah Valley.
