She married Joseph Swarm in 1807.
Mother of six children.
She inherited the family farm in Jackson Township, Snyder County, Pennsylvania after her husband's death in 1864.

Joseph Swarm and Susanna Kleckner were the parents of the following children.
1. Maria Swarm ("Mary" or "Polly"), b. 22 February 1808.
2. Anna Swarm ("Annie" or "Ann"), b. 11 May 1811.
3. Jacob Swarm, b. 1 January 1814.
4. Catharine Swarm, b. 30 April 1819.
5. Isaac Swarm, b. 21 April 1821.
6. Joseph Swarm, b. 17 March 1824.

Although Mary Belle Lontz included "Joseph Swarm 1779 — 1864" and "Susannah, w/o Jos. Swarm, 1791 — 1869" on page 113 of her compilation Tombstone inscriptions of Union County, Pennsylvania (1967) under "Ray's Church Cemetery", no such markers were found in Saint Peter's Church Cemetery (also known as Ray's Church Cemetery) in July 2015.
Instead, a 1937 reading of gravestone inscriptions for New Berlin Cemetery lists complete inscriptions for this couple (while, notably, incorrectly replacing "Joseph" with "Jacob").
