Biography
Chriseyntje (Anna) Swart married Ephraim Vrooman on 16 Mar 1763
Taken from Ch. 12, The 1780 Indian Raid, Vrooman Family of Schoharie County, NY "When the dead body of Mrs. Ephraim Vrooman was first discovered in the corn-field, it was evident that she had partially recovered, and had vainly endeavored to staunch the flowing blood from the wound in her breast, first with her cap or some portion of her dress, and afterwards with earth, having dug quite a hole in the ground. This woman, as one of her sons assured the writer, had had a presentiment for nearly three years that she was to be shot. She fancied she felt a cold substance like lead passing through her body, from the back to the breast, and often the same sensation returned. She frequently expressed her fears in the family that she was to be shot, and singular as the coincidence may appear, when she was shot, the ball passed through her body where she had so long imagined it would. Nearly three years before her death, in the month of November, several of their apple trees Were observed to be in blossom, which freak of nature the superstitious also considered an unfavorable omen. After her death those circumstances were often discussed by her relatives."
