Friday Faces from the Past


 Lincelia E "Celia" Claxton Schwalls

b. 10 Apr 1839 in Edgefield County, South Carolina, USA
d. 18 Jan 1882 in Johnson County, Georgia,  USA

    Celia married George W Schwalls Sr. in 1866 in Edgefield County, South Carolina.  He moved her to Kite, Johnson, Georgia, USA. They had seven children together before Celia's early passing at age 42.

    Celia was one of the 10 children of Zachariah William Claxton (1806-1895) and Lincelia 'Lincely' Bush Claxton (1806-1872).  They are the reason I am related to Claxtons everywhere, it seems.  I have found several folks I went to high school with who, unbeknownst to me, are my cousins... through the Claxton line.  I do believe I am related to more Claxtons than Tapleys!

    Celia Claxton Schwalls was my 2nd great-grandmother:
