Swartwout Chronicles is mostly Peenpack Swartwouts (Antoni, Thomas & Bernardus sons of Roeloff) - the ones who remained in Lower Orange County. Arthur Weise was hired by a Wm Swartwout to research and write the book i believe the sum was abt $10K - there were several hundred copies more than 12- 1 of which is @ the Minisink Valley Historical Society in Port Jervis NY - i know of several in private hands and occasionally up for sale on Ebay. the Kettlehuyn Chronicles is a companion to Swartwout Chronicles - there is an edition where the books are joined under the same binding and another edition where the books are in a set.
would you like to be put in contact with the Swartwout Historians? Are you descended from Antoni, Thomas & Bernardus? pls email me
