Excerpt from Family Register of Gerret Van Sweringen and DescendantsIn the preparation of this edition of the Family Register I am indebted for information other than that pertaining to their respective families to Judge Basil S. Ramsey, of Plattsmouth, Neb.; to Mr. Eldred M. Swearingen, of Tuskeega, Ala.; to Mr. Archibald Means, of Peru, Ill.; to Miss Emma V. Mullan, of Washington, D.C.: and to Lieutenant James C. Cresap, of the United States Navy. Lieutenant Cresap furnished the information, gathered from the State archives at Annapolis, Md., showing that our first American ancestor was Thomas. To the late Mr. Henry B. Swearingen, of Circleville, O., belongs the credit for making it possible for this geneaology to be published. In 1841 he gathered of old men of the family name in Maryland and elsewhere information showing the genealogical lines from Gerret down to many of his descendents.Most of the information concerning Gerret was obtained from "Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New York," published by authority of the legislature of that State in ten large volumes from 1835 to 1877, the tenth volume being almost wholly devoted to the Colony on the South River. Official records in Washington, D. C., and at several places in Maryland have afforded data.The orthography of the name as written by Gerret was "van Sweringen." The dropping of the prefix van and the interpolation of the a was probably done during the lifetime of Thomas. He grew up in an English-speaking community, and it was therefore as natural for him to insert the a as it was for him to drop the van. That he did drop the van is shown by the fact that Van was a given name for one of his sons. "Swearingen" has been the prevailing method of spelling the name to the present time. Of the few other changes that have been made some were from preference, others unintentional.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
