Swiger-597 and Swiger-94 appear to represent the same person because: Mark Sikes, who manages https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/76794827/person/44433027716/facts agrees that his 1866 death at age 102 is from an old and likely incorrect source given the profile info for the other Elizabeth Swiger.
