  Photograph curtesy of Gary Bacon:«a heref="http://garacon.brinkster.net/ancestry/swena_05.htm"»Swena Family Ancestry«/a». According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000): Eliza Winder, born 26 December 1813, married Lemuel Swena, and moved to California. Stubbs reported Eliza and Lemuel Swena to be living in Butler County, California about 1879, but no such county exists in California. [Gary Bacon informs me that it should be Butte Co, CA] The family moved to Sutter County, California. This move probably took place after 1853. The children of Lemuel and Eliza Winder Swena are reported to be: A. Anson Swena, born 10 October 1836. B. Eliza Swena, born 28 April 1839, married Francis Wookey on 10 June 1865. C. Emmeline A. Swena, born 2 April 1841, married Reuben W. Kratz on 3 April 1865. D. Lemuel Swena, born 28 January 1843, died 27 September 1845. E. Caroline Swena, born 27 November 1844, died 30 November 1844. F. Orlando Swena, born 18 April 1846. G. Maria S. Swena, born 18 December 1849, married Harris C. Overton on 26 January 1865. H. Amelia Swena, born 28 May 1852. I. Lemuel B. Swena, born 24 December 1854, died 7 June 1860. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 8:38 PM Subject: WINDER Hi Ann My name is Roberta Scott Shaw, and I am the great-grandaughter of Maria Susana Swena nee Winder. She married Harris Clark Overton in CA in 1865. Her oldest daughter, Alice Albina Overton, married James B. Scott in 1885. The Swena's, Lemuel and Eliza (Winder) Swena both died in Butte Co., CA, probably in a section above Chico known as Rock Creek. Maria and family lived for the most part in an area near Nord, which is also above Chico. I have a microfilm at the LDS FHC here in RI of the Swena Family Bible (transcription) and the Swift Fam Bible - Amelia C. Swena married a Swift. Anson Swena (a minister) officiated at that marriage. Eliza Swena married a Wookey. The Swifts and Wookeys had farms in the Rock Creek area, and there is still a Wookey Road north of Chico. I have been trying to find out more details about the farms in the area, and also to whom Anson and Orlando were married. I am please you have the database you have...I will visit your home page a lot, I think. If you should learn anything more about the Swena's, please let me know. Also if you manage to untangle the generation of Winder's that seems to have everyone confused! Roberta in Rhode Island
