bottom is "The dead in the lord are blessed."  According to her kin, (in 2010)

"I noticed you had my uncle down as Robert W. McSwain (Bobby).  He like my dad
ran off and left his children and a great wife to do whatever.  I have no idea
of his life except I did find where he lived in Richland County and I believe
he was also buried there (Jan.1, 1997).  I don't know if he remarried, but we
always called the wife he left Aunt Grace.  I don't remember any record of my
grandfather ever living in Spartanburg, so I'm quite sure he (Robert) was born
in Cherokee Co."

Notes for Rosie FIRSTWIFE


----------------
Cyrus Lester Mcswain Sr, Tissie's son, was married to my grandma's sister
Eunice Davis and Kevin [McSwain]'s wife Gina comes through the Criswell line
from Lavada Mae West.  Lavada Mae was daughter of Charles Winston West.  He
was Eunice Davis' uncle.

Eunice and my grandma Lela Bridgette Davis were daughters of great grandma
Maggie West, who married Alex Davis first and had several girls.   When Alex
died she married Henry Oliver Marcum.  H O had two kids by his marriage to a
Rosie?  (I can't find what her last name was.)  She died then H O married
Maggie West then H O's boy Roy Marcum married Lela Davis, Maggie West Davis'
daughter.

So I wound up with two great grandparent sets that way on them.  Roy and
Lela's daughter Maggie Marcum (mom) married my dad Floyd Utley.

By 1912, Bertie was married and is enumerated with her newborn son Joe, but
her husband is not listed in the household.  Bertie married one of Quanah
Parker's sons, Len Nehio.  In the census she is reported alone with her son
Joe.

"Cathie, two of Rudolph Fischer's daughters by Kahchacha (Bertie and Helen)
married two of Quanah Parker's sons (Len and Thomas). Everything that I was
able to learn about Fischer I incorporated into my book 'The Captured.'"

The marriage of Bertie to Len Nehio Parker is recorded in Caddo County,
Oklahoma records.  They married in 1912.  Her name appears here as Ah-way,
seeming to be a short version of A-se-way-nah?

Yet in the 1914 Comanche census, Len is reported by himself.  Since Bertie is
also a Comanche, it seems she should have been reported with him.  The wife in
the marriage record is Comanche.  I have not found the Asewaynah (Fisher)
family in 1914 to see hos Bertie is listed there.

In 1914, Bertie is still listed with her son.  The format has changed
somewhat, and the family relationship is shown by the same family/household
number 529, but now Bertie's household number is 529 1/2.  Her brother Henry
is now also listed in a separate household between his parents and Bertie,
with the number 529 1/4.

In the 1917 Comanche census, Bertie is reported as the wife of a son of Quanah
Parker, Len Ne hi o.  They are living with her family group, with their two
daughters.  They have been married about 3 years.  I'm puzzled about Bertie's
earlier son Joe, who does not appear.  Perhaps he died.  And I have not found
information about her husband, the father of Joe.  From teh informatoin we
have, Bertie and Len married some time after 30 June 1914.  I have not found
their marriage record.
