From Jeff Swaney (swaneyj @ mail.wvnet.edu)
CAME ACROSS SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO.  IN MY SWANEY LINEAGE I HAVE WILLIAM HENRY
HARRISON SWANEY (TIP) AS BEING MARRIED ABOUT 1860 TO A MARIAH HUNTLEY.  I HAVE NO OTHER INFO ON
MARIAH HUNTLEY.  HOWEVER, LOOKING ON THE INFORMATION ABOUT JOHN PHILIP MILLER WHO WAS MARRIED TO ANNA
MARIA HUNTLEY ON 27 JUL 1871 FITS INTO MY MARIAH HUNTLEY.  WILLIAM AND MY MARIAH MARRIED IN 1860
WHICH WOULD MAKE YOUR MARIAH ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD.  WILLIAM AND MY MARIAH HAD TWO CHILDREN, GEORGE W.
SWANEY IN 1860 AND WILLIAM C. SWANEY IN 1867.  AGAIN, THIS FITS IN THE TIME FRAME OF YOUR ANNA MARIA
HUNTLEY.  THEN WILLIAM MARRIED LAVINA PATTERSON VICTOR IN 1879 BUT THEY HAVE A CHILD TOGETHER IN 1876
(JOHN CLARK DAVID SWANEY).  I DON\'T KNOW WHEN WILLIAM AND MY MARIAH DIVORCED BUT YOUR ANNA MARIA
HUNTLEY WHO MARRIED IN 1871 TO JOHN PHILIP MILLER COULD HAVE DIVORCED WILLIAM AND THEN MARRIED JOHN. 
WHILE WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON SWANEY WAS SINGLE AND THEN GOT LAVINA PATTERSON VICTOR PREGNANT IN 1876
AND THEY MARRIED IN 1879.  FURTHER MORE THE LAST CHILD THAT JOHN MILLER AND NANCY VALENTINE HAD
TOGETHER WAS IN 1869, WHICH STILL FITS INTO THE TIME FRAME OF MY MARIAH HUNTLEY.  SO IF YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND ALL THAT I WROTE-I WILL LET YOU COME TO A POSSIBLE CONCLUSION OR MAYBE YOU MIGHT KNOW FOR
SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT ONE OF THE SAME.  THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AGAIN.  AS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SAY
HELLO.  JEFF SWANEY
