6.55 Peter, Sr. Swick, b. 8/18/1743 (1st Reformed Church of Raritan, Somerville, NJ. ---------Married Anna (Hannah Green?) according to Margaret Wright Covert. Lowell -------------Thomas and Linda Settlage says Peter married Margaret, ----------who died before 1800. Is Margaret another wife or is she Anna? They married -------------9/15/1766.

In the 1820 Federal ------------Census it lists a Peter Swick with 2 people ages 26-45, and 2 people over 45 and 4 --------children living in Northumberland Co., PA.. Peter was 78 when he died. (Taken from ----1800 Census, Augusta Twsp., Northumberland Co., PA) (From Jack Swick: We have tax records from 1793-1823. We have census material 1800 Augusta Twp., 1810-40 Shamokin Twp., and deeds 1796, 1799 and 1811. So we know that there were Peter Swicks in Northumberland Co. after 1810, when Peter b. 1772 and Mary Ross went to Canada. From the 1811 deed we know that Peter Swick had a wife named Margaret. From the taxes we have four sons: Martin b. abt. 1776, John b. abt. 1780, Peter Jr. b. abt. 1788 and Jacob b. 11 Aug. 1796. From the census we know that there may have been another son, b. 1794-1804. We know that the Peter of Northumberland Co. came from New Jersey ( Peter Jr. says that he was born there). But who could be the father of Peter Sr. in Northumberland Co. until abt. 1821? As far as I know no one has been able to verify his parentage).
