Mary Elizabeth Switzer was one of my great great grandmother's on my paternal side. She was born in about 1853 in Canada and died 8 Dec 1915 in New York. I have not researched this surname yet.

My gg-grandmother was a Switzer. Here is a brief overview of my line...

Ulrich SWITZER (1731-1823) married Hester URNER (1740-1812) in 1760 in Chester Co., Pennsylvania

Their son, Jacob SWITZER (1770-1854) married Susanna RHEINHART (1775-1827) in 1794 in Uniontown, Carroll, Maryland

Their son, John SWITZER (1806-1860) married Elizabeth WOLFE (1812-1901) in 1836 in Frederick County, Maryland

Their daughter, Sara Elizabeth SWITZER (1841-1924) married Martin Van Buren PAGE (1840-1926) in 1862 in Johnson Co., Iowa

Their daughter, Blanche Annette PAGE (1868-1962) married Charles Henry RAMPTON (1868-1946) in 1897 in Iowa

Charles and Blanche moved their family to California around 1909 and settled in Pomona, Los Angeles Co., California.

Their daughter, Edna Elizabeth RAMPTON married Kenneth Wellman VAN WIG and they are my maternal grandparents.

My third great uncle,Dr. Samuel Quinn, married Mariah Talbott Switzer,widow of Jacob Switzer (b.1826) in Fairfield Co.,Ohio in 1851.I believe that Jacob had a brother John (b.1827),and their parents were Henry Switzer and Emelie Dallenbach.

Although I go further back than this, this is my primary Switzer family

John is the son of Jacob SWITZER (1770-1854) and Susanna RHEINHART (1775-1827)
