Am looking for information on John Schwager and wife Elizabeth. From census data, he was born about 1808-1809 in Prussia / (she is a few years older - also of Prussia.)
another census shows birthplace as Bavaria for both John and wife Elizabeth.
They resided in Wilmington, DE at least from about 1860 - to their deaths in the 1890's. (John died in 1893, Elizabeth in 1894.) Unknown when they came into this country - possibly the 1840's?
He is in the Wilmington, DE directories from 1862-1880's - name is spelled several ways - Schweigert, Schwager, Swagger.
They reside with JOhn Bennett (orig. of Germany) & wife Mary Bennett in their later years. I believe Mary probably to have been their granddaughter as she is listed as Mary Nuse, dau of Henry Nuse on her death record, though Mary's marriage record shows Mary "Suager."
Thanks for any insights, particularly for immigration lists.
