Tryphena Swarman
Tryphena Swarman (maiden name: Harding) was born around 1837 in Medway, Massachusetts, to Nathan and Keziah Harding. Her father was an organ maker who owned $1,200 of real estate by 1850. He grew up and attended school in Medway. She married Frederick Swarman on November 29, 1855, and they had at least five children: Irving, born around 1857; Anna, born around 1859; Almeda, born around 1866; Almira, born around 1866; and Keziah, born around 1880. Irving and Anna both died in the spring of 1864. They lived in Medway, and her husband worked as a boat maker and grocer. They moved to Millis, Massachusetts, in the late 1800s, and she died there of “chronic heart disease” on February 10, 1902.
