Elizabeth. Dorsey Swindler entered into a second marriage to Elizabeth
"Puoponne" Mahiers, the daughter of Dr. Michel and Francoise
Segaillot. The second marriage produced six children: Joseph, Eugene,

Dorsey and Elizabeth. He acquired a tract of land of some 240 arpents
in south West Baton Rouge, LA. At Dorsey's death on February 4, 1828
in West Baton Rouge, his estate came to $16,743.
It seems that Dorsey had married Elizabeth with out signing a prior
marrage contract, and that none was signed by the time Dorsey died.
Thus Elizabeth's brother Joseph said Elizabeth's personal property
should not have been in community. It was all setteled by a law suit
which granted Elizabeth the sums she had inherited.

Notes:

We must begin the story of Samuel Swindler with the assumption that he
was born about 1754, when his parents were living in New Brunswick
Township Middlesex County New Jersey. We know from other sources, (see
Henry Swindler), that his parents remained in New Jersey until about
1770. Then they moved to Cameron Parish, Loudon County Virginia. It is
there that the first record of Samuel is located. He is listed as of
tithable age, i.e. 16 years old or older, with two Henry Swindlers,
likely his father and brother, in the same household.1 Samuel remained
in Loudon County for three years, 1770 to 1772, and then moved to
Augusta County, Virginia, where he received a land grant of 400 acres
on Salt Lick Creek. In 1781. Samuel assigned the land to Jacob
Israel.2 In 1774, Samuel is again listed as a tithable in Loudon
County, Virginia.3 However, according to a pension application filed
by James Troy, enlisted as a sergeant in 1774, and was under
Lieutenant Phil Pierce, Lieutenant Sam Swindler, Captain Robert
Fenole, Captain Lewis Rogers, Colonel Wm. Mc Cleery, at Statler's
Fort, Monmouth County, Virginia.4 In 1776, Lieutenant Sam Swindler
served in the Virginia Militia for two months in Monongalia County,
Virginia. (Monongalia County, Virginia is now Green County,
Pennsylvania).5 On 2 April 1777, Samuel signed as a witness to the
transfer of land from Teagarden to Teagarden in Fayette County,
Pennsylvania.6 Later, Lieutenant Samuel Swindler/Swingler/Swinler, (he
is listed under all three surnames), under Lieutenant William Cross
marched from Jarrett's Fort to Whitley Creek and then to Fort Pitt as
a member of Captain John Minor's Company of Virginia Militia.7
According to the pension application of Leonard Garrison, who was
drafted into the Militia at Garrad's Fort in July 1777, he spent the
next two months under Captain Samuel Swindler.8 A Henry Sykes also
served under Captain Sam Swindler at Gerrard's Fort, in 1777 and
1778.9 From 11 November 1777 to 5 March 1778, Militia Lieutenant Sam's
Swindler served at Scott's Mill.10 In his application for a pension,
Francis Bedle of Waren County, Ohio stated, "I was one of four Militia
Sergeants in Washington County, Pennsylvania upon which a draught of
four months was made for one to go into service. I joined Captain
Cross's Company which crossed the Ohio River and took up their
rendezvous on the banks below Big Beaver Creek where we built Fort
McIntosh. General McIntosh was the commanding general,...Evans was
Colonel of the Regiment to which Captain Cross's company belonged.
Colonel Crawford, Brigade Major Daniel Light and Captain Crow were
also there. Samuel Swindler was Lieutenant and adjutant and James
Wilke was Ensign of Captain Cross's Company. Colonel Belar was also
there and held his rank in the field...".11 In, Josiah Pricket's,
application for a pension, he stated that, "...I served for three
months, beginning 1 May 1778, under Captain Samuel Swindler and
Lieutenant Swearington... my sergeant was Henry Sykes and the company
was billeted at Garrard's Fort."12 From 5 March 1778 to 24 June 1778,
Militia Captain Sam'l Swindler was stationed at Fort Garrard.13 In
1833, Eliel Long, in his pension application stated, "I served under
Captain Samuel Swindler twice during 1780, and in 1781, we served
under Crawford. " (Colonel William Crawford?)14 In March 1779, Samuel
was in Washington County, Pennsylvania and purchased two shirts at the
estate sale of Barnet O'neal.15 Samuel must not have been too
impressed with either Pennsylvania or Virginia, because while both
states were claiming the southwestern corner of what is now
Pennsylvania, he signed a petition to the Continental Congress
requesting that a new state be formed from that part of
Pennsylvania/Virginia.16 In 1781, Samuel Swindler was listed in
Washington County, Pennsylvania, Militia drafts in John Gather's
District.17 In 1782, the First Battalion of Washington County,
Pennsylvania was recruited in Whitely and Green Townships, (now Green
County), with few men from Dunkard Township. The captain was John
Guthrey and Samuel Swindler served under him.18 On 13 December 1782,
Samuel was listed in the appearance docket for the December term of
the Court of Common Pleas in Bassetville, Washington County, PA, in
the matter of John Minnor vs Amos Miller and Samuel Swindler.19 Samuel
was in Fayette County, Pennsylvania on, 22 August 1785 and witnessed
the transfer of property from Samuel and William Douglas to Peter
Armstrong.20 In 1785 and 1786, Samuel is listed in the Return of State
Tax for the County of Fayette, Luzerne Township.21 Samuel is listed in
the Pennsylvania Tax lists for Fayette County, Luzerne Township from
1787 to 1790, from 1795 to 1800, and in 1810. His occupation is listed
as a carpenter.22 On 19 December 1789, Samuel witnessed the signing of
a deed between Thos. Durban and Thos. Stokley, in Fayette County.23 In
the 1790, U.s.. Census of Pennsylvania, Samuel is listed as living in
Fayette County, Springhill Township, with one white male over 16,
himself?, a white male under 16, two white females and three other
free persons. In 1794, Samuel was getting his supplies from Wm. Seaton
or Oliver Crawford, who operated a store on Muddy Creek in Green
County, Pennsylvania.24 Samuel is listed as living in Washington
County, Cumberland Township, Pennsylvania in 1794.25
