• Notes

  Alternate death date of 1866 has been cited in possibly Hinsdale, Cattaraugus Co., NY. however there are no records of the family ever living in this place. No evidence of either date or place of death seems to exist. It seems more likely he died in Pennsylvania or Indiana. There are no census records found after 1850. Two daugters were married in Porter Co., Indiana in the late 1850's, it is possible and maybe likely that the family lived there also as the ages of the daughters were 15 and 16 yrs. Andrew Lafayette Swap consistently spelled his name Swap as did his brother Frederick and most of his sons up until about the 1850 census where we first see Swap spelled as Swoap. Most English translations of Swap or Swab were spelled phonetically as Swope only a few families spelled it as Swoap and it varied, even within the same family. "His grandfather, Andrew Swap Sr., was born in Pennsylvania, near the central part of' the state, but subsequently settled permanently in New York state. (Note: the family did not settle permanently in New York, they infact moved to Pennsylvania in 1837) He was twice married, by his first wife having six sons and three daughters, none of whom are living. By his second marriage he became the father of nine more children, and of these two sons and two daughters survive." - Miller, John, A Twentieth Century History of Erie County, Pennsylvania : A narrative account of its historic progress, its people, and its principal interests (1909) P. 657
