Gayry Elizabeth Gibboney Major (1888-1935) of Virginia Photo
« on: Thursday 29 December 16 16:12 GMT (UK) »
   Photo of Gayry Elizabeth Gibboney Major (1888-1935) of Virginia/Maryland. She was also known as Elizabeth Major Swartz. Child of John Edward Major and Evie Haller Gibboney. She was married to Newell T K Swartz (1881-1946) and had 11-13 kids with him. They had deep roots in Virginia. Mother of Margaret Jane Swartz (1914-1997). In the 1920 US Census, Gayry is mentioned as Elizabeth G Swartz. Her preferred first name appears to have been Elizabeth. The Swartz children grew up near the Natural Bridge, Virginia.
Looking for a brushup.
