Interesting/famous/immigrant Crego ancestors
– Part 2
I have two different online genealogical
websites:
1 1) One is my toast.net website that I
have to program and upload myself. I haven't updated it in years;
2 2) The other is hosted by rootsweb/ancestry.
I upload my genealogy database and it is put in a format that's easy to
navigate. The advantage to using this system is that ALL my data is here
- not just what I purposely wrote up and recapped.
So that being said, as a way of
presenting my information, here are several more interesting Crego ancestors:
Some more interesting Crego
ancestors
8)Thomas Swartwout, Revolutionary War soldier. Born in 1756 in New York. Most notable about his military service is
that he was with the Company of Rangers who guarded the Continental Congress
starting in April 1776 for a period of 6 months. It is possible he may have guarded the
Congress while they were working on the Declaration of Independence.

York. Major in the Dutchess County New
York Militia.

Hagan ancestors that I know about,
but haven't done a lot of original research:
*Swartout Family – The origins of the Swartwout Family are
Dutch. Our immigrant ancestor was
Roeloff Swartwout who was born in 1634 in Amsterdam, Holland.
*Hill
Family – The origins of the Hill Family
are Dutch. Our immigrant ancestor was
Anthony Hill who came to New York from Holland about 1720.
