There is going to be a Swearingen, Swearengen, Vanswearingen (All Spellings) reunion in the Spring 2015. We would like to include other family names that are related to the Swearingens as well. It will be held in Shepherdstown, WV on Apr 30, May 1 and May 2.
We are planning a banquet and some tours. Shepherdstown is the oldest town in West Virginia with a lot of history. It was the home of Thomas Swearingen who ran the Ferry and ran against George Washington for the House of Burgesses and Won. His brother Van Swearingen known as King Van also lived there. Other Families in the area were Shepherd, Bedinger, Morgan, Lucas, Dandridge, Washington, Rutherford, Lee, Chapline, Blackford, Rumsey, Boteler and many more.
