Swartzel Family Ohio Record Hunt

Yet another family record hunt complete! I had previously found a stash of records for the Schwartzel family in Pennsylvania. From there I tracked various members of the family to Maryland, Virginia, and Tennessee. This hunt was focused on the family of Mathias Swartzel as they moved to Ohio. I have previously analyzed his branch of the family from Pennsylvania.



This hunt included the counties of Montgomery, Warren, Miami, and Preble. Here's a list of the sources I searched through:

• Ohio Land Patents
• Montgomery County Deeds
• Warren County Deeds
• Miami County Deeds
• Preble County Deed
• Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas
• Montgomery County Chancery Court
• Montgomery County Probate Records

I will continue to add to this list as I have time to search through more sources.

This post is meant to be mostly a data dump of the records I’ve found and a starting point for further research. I have listed many of the details from each of the records and the source for most if they came from a book. You can click on each of the images to see them full size and download them for your records. In future posts I’ll provide further analysis on these records, probably on a per person or family branch basis.
