Notes

  • "Bonnie Mitchell McSwain was only in my McSwain line because she was married to William Boyd, but I thought she looked like a little Indian girl in the one pic.  Most people who see it usually agree.  Her mother's maiden name was Sizemore and her ancestors were said to have been with the Cherokee."

    It is unknown what the middle intial here might mean.  There is no other record of an additional name starting with a C, so this must be an enumerator error.  Her full name was Frances (and found sometimes spelled Francis in records) Clercie Sizemore.  This 1910 census is the last record found for Clarcie's husband Hiram.  In trhe 1930 Charlotte City Directory, she is reported as a widow.  No death or burial information has been found by family members and researchers reconstructing this family's story.
