• He was the son of Peter Schwalm and Anna Gelha Schmidt.
• Johannes Schwalm married Ottilia Bobb after 1789.²
• Johannes Schwalm died on 25 December 1833, at age 84.^3,4,5
• He left a will written on 15 November 1833 that was probated 21 Jan 1834 in Schuylkill County.⁶
• Some sources record that Johannes Schwalm died on 24 December 1834. Although this date is given on his tombstone, it cannot be correct. His will was probated January 21, 1834, more than 11 months before the date of death given on the tombstone. In 1984, Kenneth Jones discovered a German language newspaper, printed in Orwigsburg, that contained an obituary for Johannes that fixes the date of death as December 25, 1833. After discussing all of the evidence, Jones concludes that that Johannes died in December 1833, most likely on the 25th or possibly the 24th.⁷
• He was buried at Saint Mathew's (Coleman's) Church, Lykens Township, Dauphin County, PA; His tombstone in Coleman Cemetery, Hubley Twp, Schuylkill County, PA shows the date of birth as May 31, 1752. It also shows the date of death as Dec. 14, 1834, but, according to other sources, he probably died before October 19, 1834; most likely late in 1833.^3,6
