Notes:

Swan Township is one of the twelve townships of Vinton County, Ohio, United States. The 2000 census found 796 people in the township. Located in the northern part of the county, it borders the following townships: Washington Township, Hocking County: north; Starr Township, Hocking County: northeast corner; Brown Township: east; Madison Township: southeast; Elk Township: south; Jackson Township: west Benton Township, Hocking County: northwest. It is the only Swan Township statewide, although there is a Swan Creek Township in Fulton County, and a Swanton Township in Lucas County.
Note: While Edna was born in South Bloomingville, Benton Twp, Hocking County (formed in 1818), Perl was born in Swan Twp, Vinton County (formed in 1850) but in both cases, the parents are residing in South Bloomingville. These townships are adjacent even though in different counties. More research will be needed to sort out Perl's seemngly disjointed birthplace.
