Swarthout, William R., was born in Barrington, August 2o, 1823, the third of eleven children born to George
F. and Roena (Russell) Swarthout. William R., more familiarly known as Deacon Swarthout by reason of his long term
as deacon (thirty years) of the Second Milo Baptist Church, commenced life as a farmer by buying fifty acres from
his father, but between that and the time of purchasing his present farm, he had lived on various farms in the
town and in Torrey. His present property was formerly known as the Baxter Kinney Place, containing 100 acres, and
located about a mile south of Penn Yan. In 1845 he married Hannah Ann Spooner, by whom he had two children, Hortense
and Hattie M., both of whom are married. Deacon Swarthout has been an industrious and successful farmer.
