According to George Michael Schwab's will, only two children survived him. Catharina and George.
Gilbert Swope's book speaks of a son, John, who was tall and handsome and fought in the Revolutionary War,
but this must have been the son, George. According to Lancaster County Deed Book R, page 465, George Schwab
or Swope, died before March 1777 and was under twenty-one years of age at the time of his death.
