So I see Absolom Swick on Geni, https://www.geni.com/people/Absolom-Swick/6000000007778916350
It lists his parents as Stephen Swick and Almira Lymburner. Both of whom were born in Lincoln, Ontario, Canada and were married on August 23, 1825.
However for Stephen Swick on Geni it has him connected to Peter Swick b. 1772 in New Jersey as his father. That profile matches to Peter Swick here on WikiTree: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Swick-100
Though I think that may be the wrong Peter Swick attached as his father due to the locations but as well as this note on the Geni page for Peter Swick (https://www.geni.com/people/Peter-Swick/6000000083394584029) father of Stephen that says:
Source from the following: Entries from Squire Samuel Birdsall Bible in a letter to Mrs. Vincent Merritt (Myrtle Swick) of Dunnville on August 20, 1973. "Deaths - Maria Brooks, daughter of Peter & Mary Swick, on the 4th of May 1832. Mary Swick, consort of Peter Swick, on Tuesday, May 22nd 1832 at 11 o'clock p.m. Peter Swick senior emigrated from New Jersey in the spring of 1800 from Greenwich Township aged 30 years, was with Peter Melick the first settlers and pioneers in Canborough then a wilderness; he died at his son's, Peter Swick Junior, Tuesday morning, the first day of July 1856, aged 86 years."
So the main conflicting data is that the information on Peter Swick's WikiTree profile: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Swick-100 that should match with the Peter Swick's Geni profile: https://www.geni.com/people/Peter-Swick/6000000083394584029 does not really match up.
First off there is no mention of Swick-100 ever going to Canada or living there or marrying there and having children. It has him in PA and then later in OH and IL.
Also Swick-100 does not have a solid birth date listed, just 1786. Where as Peter Swick on Geni lists his birth date as 25th of Jan., 1772. It also has him as passing away on 1 July, 1856 aged 86 years old.
Whereas Swick-100 died 25 Jun 1868 in Dekalb County, Indiana.
So I do think these two Peter Swicks are different people. So the resolution would be to disconnect the Peter Swick profile on Geni from his parents who I believe are the correct parents of Peter Swick of the WikiTree Swick-100 profile.
They could very well all still be related.
