Received this email 2/00:

In doing family research on the Swearingen line, I just came across your web site, which, by the way, is quite impressive. I am a direct descendant of James B. Swearingen, son of Elemelich and Alma Maddox Swearingen, son of James Obed and Francis E. Wayland Swearingen. Until today, I did not have much information on James B. other than his date and place of birth. On your site you have listed a death date and I was wondering if you have any information about where James B. died and where he might be buried.

Thanks for any information you might be able to share.

I received the following email 2/00, which is from the same person, or spouse:

James married Eva Howard Newman on 28 Dec. 1910. They had one child, Walter Newman
Swearingen born 24, Sep. 1912 (my father). My understanding of this situation was that they separated when my father was very young, about 2 or 3 I think. James was serving in the army during WW II and was stationed in France. While there, he was married by proxy to a young woman from St. Joseph, MO in 1918. We have no information about his where-a-bouts from that point on. Eva Howard Newman died 9 Mar. 1942 and Walter Newman died 30 Apr. 1972. Walter Newman was married to Thelma Elizabeth Kivett on 10 March 1950. She is still living. If you are able to receive a GEDCOM file into your data base we can send you the information that we have about the rest of the family. My dad was married prior to marrying my mother and there are children from that marriage as well.

I was wondering if you might be able to provide a way for me to contact the descendants of Thomas Swearingen in the hopes that they might have some information on James B. We have been communicating with Greg Turnbaugh and although he has quite a bit of information and has been very helpful, he doesn't have any information on James either.
