John Zwick, brother of F. I. Zwick, of Monroe county, visited here on Sunday.In 1880, farmer John Zwick (36) and his wife Ellen (37) lived in Sunsbury Twp., Monroe County, Ohio. Living with them were children John (7), Ella (4) and Ida (6 mos). None of the children attended school. John and his parents were born in Bavaria. Ellen and her parents were natives of Ireland. The children were all born in Ohio.
In 1900, 53 year old Bavarian-born farmer John Zwick lived on a farm that he owned in Stuebenville City, Franklin Twp, Monroe Co., Ohio with his wife of 10 years, Rosie (33) and three children: Lizzie (3), Albert A. (2), and Joseph E. (4 months). According to the census, John came to America 48 years earlier, in 1852. He was a naturalized citizen. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to John Miracle and John's brother Peter Zwick. Another brother, George Zwick, lived nearby.
Researcher Betty Hartley lists Mary Lou Burkhart as the first of John Zwick's four wives, and gives her birthdate as Apr 1867. However, the first of John's children by his second wife (Ellen Dougherty) was born in 1876 (when Mary Lou Burkhart was only 9 years old). This suggests that Mary Lou Burkhart was not the first wife of John Zwick.
Siblings Joseph and Roseanna Baker were married to siblings Louisa and John Zwick.
