    GENEALOGY of the SWASEY FAMILY WHICH INCLUDES The DESCENDANTS of the SWEZEY FAMILIES of SOUTHOLD, LONG ISLAND NEW YORK 4ND The DESCENDANTS of the SWAYZE FAMILIES if ROXBURY, NOW CHESTER NEW JERSEY BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SWASEY EXETER, N. H. PRIVATELY PRINTED/or AMBROSE SWASEY CLEVELAND, OHIO 1910 GEORGE B. H. SWAYZE, 1\1. D. Family :Ko. 187. This volume is dedicated to my mother ABAGAIL CHESLEY (PEAFEY) SWASEY As a tribute to the memory of her unfailing devotion to her family and the Christian principles she taught us Introduction HE province of the genealogist is to gather up all the T threads of the successive generations of a family and weave them into an harmonious web whose pattern in its out­ lines and shades shall show not only the characterizations of those families but their progress in the age in which they lived. To gather these threads is no small task. But when once gathered the reward of having rescued them from ob­ livion is extremely satisfactory. An almost impenetrable obscurity surrounds the lives of most of the early settlers of this country and one must work in the dark with now and then a faint glimmer of the object of his research. The avenue once opened and the direction given the opportunity comes for continuous per­ severance. The history of a family covering a period of nearly three hundred years includes in its entirety a history of our country in its development, and the part played by each gen­ eration of that family becomes one of the factors upon which our nation is built.

I never owned a pair of sun glasses back then.” As odd as it might seem now, sun glasses weren’t a typical accessoire for Iowa farm folk of that era. Besides the cost, they would have been impractical for an ever-pragmatic people toiling mostly out-of-doors, in summer under hot and often sultry conditions.

Nebraska had much less fence than states to the east, however. The Nebraska herd law made it possible to ranch without expensive fences or slow-growing hedges; farmers simply herded their cattle together.
