Hardesty's History of Jackson county WV
Rev. Jabez SWIGER - son of Jesse and Cassandra (Brown) SWIGER, was born March 8, 1828, in Harrison, now one of the counties of West Virginia. In the same county, on New Years Day, 1829, was born Abigail J. Harbert, daughter of Samuel and Nancy (Rittenhouse) Harbert. The marriage rite joined in one, the lives of Jabez SWIGER and Abigail J. Harbert, on the 9th of November, 1848, this event occurring in the county in which both were born. Joy and sorrow have visited their home in the birth of seven children and the death of three of them. The deceased children were: Sarah A., Hattie A. (Boso), and Martha M. Of the living children, three: Irvin A., Samantha C. (Orum), and Alice L. (Petty) are happily established in homes of their own in this county, and the remaining child, Jennie H., is living at home. With his grandparents also lives Charles W. Boso, son of their deceased daughter Hattie A. Rev. Jabez SWIGER has made his home in Jackson county since 1864, and is here engaged in the work of the ministry and in the cultivation of the homestead on which, with his little family, he is settled in Grant district. He receives his mail at Muses Bottom, Jackson county, West Virginia.
