I never found proof of who his parents were. There was a William and Nancy Swearingen living in Anderson County on the 1880 US Census, Texas, with sons Young W. and James. And daughters Susan and Margaret. Papa Swearingen's half sister "Sally" raised him (she married a "Doc" Cheek.) Margaret went by "Maggie". She married a Clark.
Y.W. always said a buzzard laid him and the sun hatched him. He had been married before and had two daughters. He told my father (Lawrence) "she was between me and my hat and I left my hat" and he NEVER left the house without a hat. He married my grandmother Blanche Crawford in 1904.

10-24-2012 Today, through this site, and Sue Reardon who found it, I have at last found a missing link to Y.W.'s other family.

Note: I got to thinking about my grandfather's life. I never heard my dad say anything about him working except on a farm. Yet he grew up, married and divorced and then married my grandmother and had a second family. I never saw or heard of him going into a church until his funeral but my grandmother went every Sunday. I really need a time machine to go back learn and observe not to get out or change.........
