The Descendents of Wilhelm Schwangau

Start your tour at the index of names, from the common ancestor or at the list of pictures.
Certain entries are followed by the image of a camera; clicking on the camera will take you to a photograph of that individual.

The drawing above depicts the Old Swedes Church in Wilmington, Delaware where, on March 24, 1760, Abraham Swango, eldest son of Wilhelm Schwangau, was married to Ailsie Pyle. They lived first in Frederick County, Virginia, then in Berkeley County, Virginia (in what is now West Virginia). During the Revolutionary War, Abraham served in the 1st & 2nd Battalions on the Frontier of Frederick County and Berkeley County. In 1783, Abraham, Ailsie and their family migrated through the Cumberland Gap into the newly-opened lands of Kentucky.
