I have only a shred of information linking a
few family members together at Caledonia Cemetery.
Travis Swann and Olive O. (Brymer) Swann are my maternal grandparents. Olive's
brother is John (Jack) Brymer. There is a sister, too...Bennie. Unknown
whereabouts. Dale T. Swann (passed) and Betty Jo (still living, Thank
God) are their one son, and his wife. They also had 2 daughters, Lynda and
Patsy. Dennis Dale was Dale & Betty's grandson, who died too
soon.
The Loggins Family are a branch, as Loggin's
married into Swann, according to the 1930 census.
I have been to that cemetery only twice...my
mother (Patsy L. Swann) passed away in 1995, my father Bernard E. Czachowski
passed in 1996...5 months later. They have been cremated but I am hoping to
bring them to rest as they had wished to be buried near her parents. I also
had 2 brothers, both passed in '99, also hoping to bring, and a sister, passed
in '81 (a native of Rusk Co.-born Ronnie Sue Beduhn).
I have been told from the elders of this family
tree that we can link ourselves right to Quanah Parker (The Commanche Chief),
and I am trying to find the path as well as learn more about my mother's
family. The daughters of Dale & Betty Jo Swann are all still
living-5 altogether-and are all I have left that I know of any of my family,
and of course Aunt Betty. They know more than I do, but their memories are
fading too...all us women born of Swann have MS, at various stages. We hope to
learn much more and leave what we find behind to our children so they can
trace their proud roots through Texas, too.
