Swartz Mysteries

1. Sarah Ann Carnahan (born 1848, died 1879), wife of John Miller Swartz. Adopted in England by the Carnahans. Birth parents' name was Teagle. Carnahans are not listed in Wayne Co. for 1850 census -- Were they in England adopting their baby? Why did they go to England for the adoption? Did they know the Teagles?

2. Robert R. Carnahan, Sarah Ann's adopted father (died 8 May 1888). Does anyone know where he's buried? His wife Elizabeth Ann Cotton (died 1882) is buried in Seville, OH, with a large and lovely monument. There is no inscription, monument, or burial record for Robert. So far, I've not been able to find an obituary on him either.
