Historical Society.  His father's will shows Thomas died by 1824.  The will of Elizabeth Swayne of Darby Twp, widow, drawn Oct. 16, 1856, proved Apr. 6, 1857 by witnesses Geo. Horne Sr and Benj. P. Horne, left the farm of 12 acres where I now reside to son George, subject to other legacies, named daughters Mary Keighler, Phebe Marshall, Hannah Lane, Miriam Collier, Elizabeth Franklin, granddaughter Charlotte Swayne, and mentioned children of John & Charlotte Swayne.  There were these seven children:     191  Mary b 1805 m William Keithler     192  Phebe b 1806 m Charles Marshall     193  Hannah b 1808 m William Lane     194  Miriam b 1810 m John Collier     195  George b 1814 d 1894 m 1845 Sarah Grover d 1903     196  John N. b 1817 d by 1856 m Charlotte Trites b ab 1820 d 1904     197  Elizabeth b 1822 m by 1856 a Franklin           112  MARY SWAYNE (5), daughter of 53 George Swayne & Miriam Fore- man of Darby Twp, Delaware Co., Pa., married Isaac Lodge.  This is from the Sharpless Gen., which names the nine children below.  The Lodge Gen. names the first seven and gives data for daughter Jane:     1  George     2  Rebecca m William Cobourn     3  Joseph     4  Sarah m Charles Free     5  Elizabeth m Randolph Fields     6  Allen m Mary Palmer     7  Jane b 1821 at Clarksboro, N.

May 22, 1843 Delaware Co. Orphans Court named Jacob Rice guardian for the last six children, of whom only two were under 14.  About the time each be- came 21 he paid what was then due.  These receipts are in the file:  Oct. 3, 1845 Miriam $1029.66; June 19, 1847 Ann P. $1076.32½; the same day Abigail P. $1043.49; Sep. 10, 1849 Aaron $976.94; Aug. 9, 1853 Mary P. $1140.92½; Aug. 21, 1855 Caleb $1572.87.      202  George A. b 1814 d 1857 m 1843 Elizabeth Richards b 1799 d 1864      203  Elizabeth P. b 1816 d 1853 m 1839 Davis Richards b 1805 d 1891      204  Elisha P. b 1818 d 1901 or 1900 not married      205  Joel b 1819 d 1896 m 1848 Rachel Seal b 1826 d 1856      206  Thomas b 1822 d 1890 m 1853 Margaretta G.

Her will, drawn Nov. 1, 1862, proved March 5, 1863, said she was of Concord Twp, left sister Sarah Mendenhall for life a tract in East Caln Twp, Chester Co., bought 1840, now occupied by Sarah, and after her to her daughter Mary V. Mendenhall.  She named brother Aaron Swayne, sister Mary Lodge who had a daughter, and nephew Elisha P. Swayne exr.      ****************************************************************            117  DEBORAH SWAYNE (5), born 2.9.1782, died 12.29.1852, daughter of 56 Jacob Swayne & Phebe Milhouse of West Bradford Twp, Chester Co., Pa., was not married.  The Chester Co. death register has her born East Marlbor-                                                                           53 ough Twp, died West Marlborough Twp of consumption, certificate signed by Morris Cope, buried London Grove Mtg, where she was a member.  Dr. Thomas Kimber exr filed an account 11.15.1853 in Chester Co. Orphans Court signed in Philadelphia by the only residuary legatees:  Enoch Swayne guardian of Sarah & Ellm Swayne, Joseph M. Swayne, William R. Swayne, Enoch Swayne, Julia Wickersham, Jonathan Swayne & Isaiah Swayne.  Deborah seems to have spent several years in Philadelphia.  Burlington Mtg has her arriving there 4.1. 1816 from S. D. dated 3.27.1816, then 1.1.1821 back to S. D.  Philadelphia Mtg has her from S. D. 9.23.1826 dated 8.23.1826, then the same meeting, now Orthodox, says 3.29.1832 to W. D., then 12.24.1835 back from there dated 12.16.1835, then 8.24.1837 to S. D.            118  DAVID SWAYNE (5), born 4.31.1783, died 1841, son of 56 Jacob Swayne & Phebe Milhouse of West Bradford Twp, Chester Co., Pa., married about 1805 Anna Ingham of Buckingham Twp, Bucks Co., born 1781, died 5th mo 1821.  10.17.1800 Jacob got a certificate for minor son David from Bradford Mtg to London Grove.  Buckingham Mtg says Anna Swain late Ingham married out, and a letter was to be sent to Caln Mtg to obtain their care and judg- ment.  11.3.1806 Anna's acknowledgment was received, as Bradford Mtg had sent a favorable account.  Falls Mtg has 3.9.1808 Anna Swayne wife of David from Bradford and 9.6.1809 David Swayne from Concord, then 6.6.1810 Jonathan & Samuel children of David received by request, and 8.5.1811 David with wife Anna and minor children Jonathan, Samuel & Ann to Southern District.  4.3. 1813 David Swain of Frankford, Cordwainer, with Deborah Ingham and Mary Ing- ham, these three tenants in common, received for $900 a frame house on the east side of the main street.  Nov. 17, 1817, after at least two of the owners had moved to Ohio, Samuel D. Ingham of Solebury, Bucks Co., attorney in fact for Anna Simson, David Swaine & wife Anna, Deborah Ingham and Mary Ingham, deeded this house for $1200.            Grandson 381 Edgar Daniel Swayne writes that the parents of his father 213 Jonathan Ingham Swayne died when his father was quite young and he was raised by an aunt of the other side of the house.  Since David died in 1841, when Jonathan was 35, this seems to refer to Anna only.  Probably her death a few years after the birth of Isaiah led to her sister Mary Ing- ham taking over until David had a new wife, and even then the records of Ohio meetings below show that the only daughter among the children went with Mary.  Miami Mtg in Ohio has 10.25.1815 David Swarn with wife Anna, children Jonothan, Ann & Isarah from Abington Mtg dated 5.29.1815, and next month, 11.25.1815 Fairfield Mtg in Ohio has David Swayne, wife Anna, children Jona- than I., Anna & Isaiah with the same Abington certificate.  Records there say Anna Swain died 5. .1821, buried Dry Run.  10.30.1824 David Swain con- demned misconduct.  The explanation seems to come from Mill Creek Mtg in Ohio, which has among its family records that Phebe Macy, born 3.10.1789, died 1.19.1842, daughter of Paul Macy & Bethiah Coleman, married David Swain. No minute was found for this marriage, nor for Phebe's leaving Mill Creek Mtg, nor for her arrival at Fairfield Mtg.  Since she was not mentioned when David went on to Indiana, it may be she was disowned at Mill Creek Mtg. Fairfield Mtg has 11.26.1826 Mary Ingham & niece Anny Swain to Springborough Mtg, which has 6.26.1827 Mary O'Neal and niece Anna Swain to Miami Mtg, which says both were received 6.27.1827 and 6.24.1829 Anna O'Neal, formerly Swain, dismissed, married out.  Fairfield Mtg has four more records of Swains:  7.21.1831 Jonathan to White Water Mtg; Certificate returned because he joined Hicksites; 5.24.1832 David & son Isaiah to Bloomfield Mtg, Indiana; 54 11.21.1833 Jonathan dismissed, joined Hicksites.  The death of David and dates for these four children are from 586 Homer D. Swayne of Denver, Colo., who had no records of the deaths of Anna nor her son Isaiah:      213  Jonathan Ingham b 1806 d 1885 m ab 1836 Mary Yount b 1818 d 1898      214  Samuel b 1808 d 1812      215  Anna b 1810 d 1830 m by 1829 an O'Neal      216  Isaiah b 1814 prob. alive 1853            119  ISAIAH SWAYNE (5), born 1784, died probably by 1790, son of 56 Jacob Swayne & Phebe Milhous of West Bradford Twp, Chester Co., Pa., is believed to have died quite early, since he is not named with the three children on his father's meeting certificate in 1790.            120  THOMAS SWAYNE (5), born 2.17.1785, alive 1808, son of 56 Jacob Swayne & Phebe Milhous of West Bradford Twp, Chester Co., Pa., was named as living in the 1808 will of his grandfather 15 Samuel Swayne.  4.14. 1797 Jacob was given a certificate for his minor son Thomas from Bradford Mtg to London Grove Mtg.            121  JONATHAN SWAYNE (5), twin, born 2.17.1785, died probably by 1790, son of 56 Jacob Swayne & Phebe Milhous of West Bradford Twp, Chester Co., Pa., is believed to have died quite early, since he is not named with the three children on his father's meeting certificate in 1790.            122  JULIA SWAYNE (5), born 2.7.1797, died 4.3.1857, daughter of 56 Jacob Swayne & Elizabeth Gray Kester of West Bradford Twp, Chester Co., Pa., married at Bradford Mtg 3.13.1823 Isaac Wickersham, born 2.29.1784, died 7.8.1857, son of Peter Wickersham & Kezia Parker of Newlin Twp.  Ken- nett Mtg has some of the above dates, says both were of Newlin Twp, both buried at Marlborough.  There were these six children:      1  Elizabeth b 1823 d 1840, no issue      2  Jacob S. b 1825 m Elizabeth Worth d 1870      3  Philena S. b 1828      4  Rebecca C. b 1831 m John Green      5  Enos T. b 1833 m 1856 Hannah P. Wollaston b 1833 d 1893      6  Isaac b 1836 m 1864 Sarah Janetta Baker b 1839            123  JACOB SWAYNE (5), born 9.11.1798, died 10.20.1815, son of 56 Jacob Swayne & Elizabeth Gray Kester of West Bradford Twp, Chester Co., Pa.            124  ENOCH SWAYNE (5), born 6.29.1800, died Feb. 28, 1885, son of 56 Jacob Swayne & Elizabeth Gray Kester of West Bradford Twp, Chester Co., Pa., married at London Grove Mtg 10.17.1827 Elizabeth Chambers, born 12.4. 1805, died Feb. 5, 1891, daughter of David Chambers & Hannah of London Grove Twp.  Enoch was farmer, tanner, and according to father a famous raconteur of impossible tales which he got off with great earnestness and solemnity. These included the tale of the great runner, Enoch himself, who because of superiority over the other contestants, had to lug on his back a bedtick filled with harrow teeth.  This race was run on the hard stones of the Ken- nett Pike, and at each step he sank to his knees, yet he won the race.  An- other, which got into print, having been fed to a West Chester Daily Local News reporter toward the end on Enoch's life, possibly the tallest of his tall tales, from a vertical standpoint, concerned Enoch's sending to Balti- more to investigate the notion that the Susquehanna at McCall's Ferry had no                                                                           55 bottom.  Enoch found the depth to be about 450 feet.            Enoch & Elizabeth moved about freely over the county.  An account in the same paper about a year before she died says that for one year after marriage they lived in East Marlborough Twp, then moved to West Bradford Twp to the tanyard property occupied in 1890 by Marshall Chambers, moved 1842 to a place on this side of Brandywine Creek that had belonged to his mother, who had died, in 1846 moved to Taggart's Cross Roads, later called Willow- dale, in East Marlborough Twp, in 1866 to London Grove Twp, and in 1884 to West Chester.  Their obituaries in this paper have three discrepancies, say- ing they married 1826, she died 2.4.1891, they moved to West Chester about the first of May 1882.  The husband of their daughter Ann had died, and they lived with her.  Enoch died while all three lived at 214 South Church St. next the postoffice, Elizabeth after they had moved to 130 West Barnard St. The 1870 census found them in London Grove Twp living in their own place, Enoch a retired farmer with $16000 personal estate, the only ones with them their youngest son Edwin and a grandson Enoch.  The 1880 census found them in the same, living with son in law Eli Thompson & daughter Deborah.  The 1850 census had them in East Marlborough Twp, all children at home but Hannah. Ages agree well enough.            These deeds by them follow the above narrative and show they cus- tomarily owned where they lived; 1 Apr. 1842 Enoch of West Bradford Twp, Tanner, & wife Elizabeth deeded for $3500 to David Chambers a messuage and 38 acres in West Bradford Twp on road from Marshallton to Downingtown re- ceived 5 May 1828 by him.  An 1846 deed showed Enoch as a trustee of Bradford Preparative Mtg.  23 March 1846 they deeded for $2599.25 a messuage and 37 acres in East Bradford Twp, part of that received by Enoch 1 Apr. 1841 from John Sugar, surviving exr of Enoch's father Jacob.  Six more acres of this tract had been deeded later the same year Enoch got it.  29 March 1862, now of East Marlborough Twp, they deeded for $2200 a messuage and five acres whose boundary began on the north side of Marlborough St. in the middle of a public road to Kennett Square, received by him 1 Apr. 1837.  17th of 3rd mo 1866 they deeded for $21625 to William L. Rakestraw a messuage and 173 acres on Street Road there and along another public road, received by Enoch 1 Apr. 1846 for $10174.24.  1st of 4th mo 1870, now of London Grove Twp, they deeded for $4000 a messuage and seven acres there received 3rd of 8th mo 1865 from Evan T. Swayne.  1 Jan. 1876 they deeded for $26.37½ about 1931 sq. ft. there received by him 28 March 1870, part of a tract made up of three tracts.  28 March 1876 they deeded for $5500 what seemed to be the remainder of the tract next above, 25 acres along the Philadelphia & Baltimore Central R. R.            The will of Enoch of London Grove Twp, drawn 5th of 5th mo 1879, proved March 5, 1885, left wife Elizabeth income of all estate for life, then to be divided as follows:  Daughter Hannah C. Stubbs wife of Reuben H. Stubbs income of $900 and as much of principal as may be necessary for her comfort and maintenance for life, then to her issue if any.  Daughter Deborah Thompson wife of Eli Thompson $2, she having but one child and being in better circumstances than my other children.  Son David C. Swayne $2000. Son Jacob Swayne $2600, taking into consideration his bodily infirmity. Daughter Elmira Hadley wife of John Hadley $2000.  Daughter Anna Elizabeth Eachus wife of William H. Eachus $1800.  Son William H. Swayne $5 he having rec'd his portion.  Son Edwin J. Swayne $1600.  My share in will of Ann Cope 56 late wife of Morris Cope to be divided in same proportion.  Exrs sons David C. Swayne and Jacob Swayne.            The will of Elizabeth of West Chester, drawn 3 June 1889, proved 14 Feb. 1891 left daughter Hannah C. Stubbs many personal items and $1000, the last requested to be willed to some of her nephews and nieces on her side after she is done with it.  Daughter Deborah S. Thompson many personal items, also $1000 for her benefit while living, then to the then living children of Mary Anna Swayne.  Daughter Elmira S. Hadley many personal items.

Battin, by whom she had a son Joseph, and probably sister of the 1st wife, although published genealogies are not all in agreement on this.  The diary of 174 Dr. Caleb Swayne Jr at the time of Mary Jane's funeral says Disease Consumption.  She was probably buried at Unionville Friends ground, where both John & Hannah were buried.  On record in Chester Co. is a pre-marriage agreement by John & Hannah dated 11 June 1859, he hav- ing real and personal property and three children, she personal property and one child, whereby each was to remain sole owner of their now properties, with no claim by either to property of the other after death of one.            1 Apr. 1839 John & Mary of West Marlborough Twp deeded two farms in Newlin Twp on Brandywine Creek, parts of 140 acres left by Joshua Pierce, who died about 1824 leaving two daughters, of whom Mary was one.  In 1838 under Orphans Court this was adjudged to John in right of wife Mary by pay- ing or securing to the other daughter, who now joined in the deeds, her share of the valuation.  About 59 acres were deeded to Banner Conner for $3516.75 and about 81 acres to Job Hayes for $4851.  31 March 1841 they deeded for $7650 a messuage and 95 acres in West Marlborough Twp received by John in March 1838.  At this time they were of East Marlborough, probably on the farm inherited from his father.  Shortly after, John bought for $10000 from Humphrey Marshall & wife Mary the 95½ acres in East Marlborough Twp just across Marlborough St. on the south which Humphrey had bought 1st of 4th mo 1840 from David Walton and Benjamin Swayne assignees of Caleb Swayne.  This was the western front of 1 Francis Swayne's original purchase.  It is one of two cases where parts of that after being sold out of the name were returned to it.            For both marriages newspaper records have been used instead of others that conflict.  The West Chester Village Record has the first.   The 58 Jeffersonian of 7.2.1859 says the second took place on the 25th inst.  While inst would be prophecying, it seems likely the date above is correct.  The will of John Swayne of East Marlborough Twp, drawn 12 Oct. 1885, codicil 6th of 11th mo 1886, proved 19 June 1889, left son Charles H. 155 acres in East Marlborough Twp where he now lives next Louisa P.

Hospital in her 79th year, funeral Wentworth Home.  She had made an estate agreement with the home when she entered. Dec. 7, 1908 Anna Lewis Park, President, exr of Hannah P. Swayne, reported a balance of $68.70 due the estate.            Censuses of 1850, 1870 and 1880 show John in East Marlborough Twp, the last two as retired farmer.  In 1850 his real estate was $14400 and his mother Rebecca lived with him.  In 1870 there was $38000 real and $5000 per- sonal, with son Howard aged 19, miller, still at home.  In 1880 there was no one there but John & Hannah.  There were these three sons, all by the first wife:      228  William P. d 1838 d 1906 m 1863 Josephine Belknap b 1838 d 1902      229  Charles Henry b 1843 d 1916 m 1865 Mary Elizabeth Alexander b 1846           d 1912      230  John Howard b 1851 d 1911 m Dora            129  ELIZA SWAYNE (5), born 4.11.1810, died 11.6.1846, daughter of 64 William Swayne & Rebecca Smith of East Marlborough Twp, Chester Co., Pa., married in Philadelphia Apr. 8, 1840 by John Swift, Mayor, William Taggart, born 5.16.1800, died in East Marlborough 7.11.1881, son of William Taggart & Elizabeth McFarlan of there.  They lived there at Taggart's Cross Roads, later called Willowdale.  Much of this is from the Darlington Family, which gives this one daughter:      1  Mary Elizabeth b 1841 d 1890 m 1864 William S.

SWAYNE (5), born 1816, died 12.13.1893, daughter of 65 Nathan Swayne & Sarah Pennock of East Marlborough Twp, Chester Co., Pa., was not married.  She with her two brothers and two sisters all dwelt on their father's farm on the north side of the Street Road until they died. Friends Intelligencer says these three sisters died there within 48 hours of each other, Louisa P. as above, Elizabeth the day following, Hannah the day after that.  The complaint seems to have been typhoid fever, although some local papers say grip.  The first two had a double funeral on the 16th and Hannah's was on the 18th.  Their carefulness, neatness and frugality are spoken of in the local notices.                                                                           59            1 Apr. 1854 Louisa P. Swayne, Hannah Swayne and Elizabeth P. Swayne of East Marlborough Twp deeded for $12250, 135 acres in West Marlbor- ough Twp received 28 Oct. 1852 from the sheriff by these three.  This is the only case where Elizabeth appears with a middle P.  Apparently she assumed, then dropped it.  Or perhaps it was an error.  3rd of 1st mo 1874 they deeded for $800 a messuage and five acres by their other land, received 3rd of 4th mo 1838 by Nathan Swayne, part of one of two lots, the smaller 13 acre lot. Nathan's will left this 13 acre lot to son Joshua P., who died intestate in 1849, unmarried and without issue, leaving mother, brother and the three sisters now grantors, mother Sarah died 1853 and brother Gideon released to his three sisters for $1725 all his claim.  Apr. 27, 1896 Gideon Swayne and Bennett S. Walton admrs of Louisa P., Elizabeth and Hannah Swayne, accounted for $3458.10 for each, being thirds of personal property inventoried.  In addition for Elizabeth's estate there was $883.76 from the estate of Louisa, and for Hannah's estate $1576.74 from the estate of Elizabeth.  The balance due Hannah's estate was $4549.            131  GIDEON SWAYNE (5), born 1818, died 7.28.1898, son of 65 Na- than Swayne & Sarah Pennock of East Marlborough Twp, Chester Co., Pa., was not married.  The 1860 census has him farming in that township with his three sisters.  His age was given as 40, which was pretty close to correct. However, the census in 1870 has him gentleman of Kennett Borough, still 40. 18 May 1848 Gideon Swayne of West Marlborough Twp deeded for $65.25, 4087 sq. ft. in Kennett Square Village, part of that received by him 14th of 11th mo 1846.  25 Aug. 1848 he deeded for $3100, 19900 sq. ft. with brick mes- suage, another part of the same, which now went back to those from whom Gideon bought it.            The will of Gideon Swayne of East Marlborough Twp, drawn Aug. 1, 1894, proved Aug. 2, 1898, left relative and housekeeper Louisa P. Spalding the 140 acres in said township where I now reside, with all live stock, horses, cattle, sheep, swine etc, all household furniture and other items not particularly named.  John Hadley and his sisters in equal parts all the note held against him with accrued interest, about $2100.  Jennie Armitage M.

Spalding had been his attorney in fact to transact all business and had been willed all real estate.  Ten legatees got $286.67 each, includ- ing Jacob Swayne of Cal. and two $57.36 each, including the estate of David Swayne, who died Aug. 29, 1898.  Aug. 27, 1900 the exrs in a second and final account showed a balance of $684.69, after which an auditor's report awarded a small additional amount to each legatee except the one whose share was not a money legacy.            132  HANNAH SWAYNE (5), born 1820, died 12.15.1893, daughter of 65 Nathan Swayne & Sarah Pennock of East Marlborough Twp, Chester Co., Pa., 60 was not married.  For more details see her sister 130 Louisa P.            133  ELIZABETH SWAYNE (5), born 1822, died 12.14.1893, daughter of 65 Nathan Swayne & Sarah Pennock of East Marlborough Twp.

McCalvin. Accounts show John Swayne, probably Samuel's brother, was the largest custo- mer.  When the account ceased, John was debtor for $9810.45 and creditor by $512.09.  Writing in purple ink, seemingly in the hand of J. W. Swayne, says, "Father's old account book in Va."  From Hopewell Mtg come Margaret's birth and their marriage.  4.6.1826 that meeting gave a certificate to Stillwater Mtg in Guernsey Co., Ohio for Samuel Swayne with wife Margaret and children Isaac B., Sarah Ann, Mary B., Joshua W., Rachel, Samuel F., John Thomas and Noah.  They were received there 5.27.1826, and 11.14.1827 were sent on to Somerset Mtg with an added child, Margaret, and were received there 11.24. 1827.  That meeting has 8.25.1828 Margaret Swayne dismissed, joined Hicksites. Great grand daughter Rachel Boles Safford says Samuel's homestead in eastern Ohio was between Barnesville and Quaker City.            The above dates of death are from Friends Intelligencer obituar- ies.  That of Samuel says he died at his residence near Millwood, Guernsey Co., aged 69 years and was buried in Friends ground at Richland, a branch of Stillwater Mtg, of which he was a member more than 30 years, and a regular attender at meetings when permitted by his health or that of his family.  He                                                                           61 died of dropsy, which for some weeks before the end compelled him to sit up most of the night, so that he seldom slept until near the last part. A great deal of indefinite good is said of him, including that he was a kind, affec- tionate husband and tender, loving father.  This was written by his daughter Sarah Ann Engle of Fox Lake, Dodge Co., Ohio.  That of Margaret says she was aged 74 years one month four days, member of Stillwater Mtg, a minister up- ward of 40 years, formerly of Winchester, Va., humility her distinguishing trait.  This was by M. E. S. who was probably her daughter Margaret Esther Swayne.  There were 14 children, seven of each sex, the largest family by one mother in this compilation.  270 Noah Haines Swayne, son of Samuel's youngest brother 143 Noah Haynes Swayne, says,"Father practically took care of all my Uncle Samuel's family until his death after which we looked after them among us until they were all dead."      231  Isaac Brown b 1810 m 1830 Maria Taylor      232  Sarah Ann b 1810 d 1881 m 1839 Joshua W.

SWAYNE (5), born 10.25.1789, died 9.10.1864, son of 70 Joshua Swayne & Rebecca Smith of near Crooked Run, Frederick Co., Va., married at Fairfax Mtg House 10.5.1814 Sarah Hite Parkins, born 7.28.1793, died 11.28.1851, daughter of Joseph Parkins & Susanna Brown of Hopewell. This is from the Steer Gen., except the name Brown and some other marriage details from Fairfax Mtg, which adds John was of Louden Co., he & Sarah went 29.l1.1815 to Alexandria, where that meeting received them 25.1.1816, John dismissed 20.3.1817, assaulting another person.  Here is evidence that Fair- fax and Alexandria were two of the Virginia Meetings that put the day before the month.  The Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy has John T. born 11.25.1789.            In 1815 John Swayne & wife Sarah of Loudon Co. granted for $833. 34 Sarah's right by will of her father in a farm in Frederick Co.  In 1816 John of Alexandria, D. C. was granted for $4500 a fourth part of a mill and 25 acres in Frederick Co. known as Perkins Mill, which fourth had been de- vised to Maria Parkins by her father Joseph Perkins, then immediately John & wife Sarah deeded this fourth with Sarah's fourth for $9000 to Isaac Hollingsworth.  Although all John's brothers moved to Ohio he stuck to Vir- ginia until near his end, at Memphis, Tennessee.  His wife also died in that state, at Paris, Henry Co.  The Steer Gen. names these seven children:      245  Joseph Joshua b 1815 d 1815      246  Mary Ann b 1816 d 1836 m 1835 William J. Todd b 1814 d 1839      247  John Thomas b 1819 d 1873 m 1850 Mary C.

Perhaps this had no effect on his membership at Caesar's Creek.  He certainly was closely connected with Friends at his death.  An obituary in Friends In- telligencer by G. Barrett of Spring City says he died as above at the resi- dence of David Evans of Waynesville, Ohio aged 65.  Born in Virginia, he passed most of his life after marriage in Harrison and Clark counties, Ohio. His health declining in the past few years, he sold his farm at Green Plains and moved to Spring Valley.  He held very firm ideas of Truth, and too often became vehemently earnest in its advocacy, from which he suffered.  On the day of his death he rode with the writer to First Day Meeting, where he spoke of the realities of the future state, expressing a belief that we should there be favored with capacity for mutual recognition.  After this he sat but a few minutes in meeting before he had to be removed to the house of David Evans, where he soon died of heart disease.  The same paper in an obituary on Eliza says she died as above in her 81st year, member of Green Plain Mtg, at the residence of son Joshua in Springfield, Ohio.  Dates are from Mary Swayne, daughter of this Joshua, who copied them from the bible of her grandfather and father.  She names these five children:      252  Mary Ann b 1826 d 1850 not married      253  Joshua b 1827 d 1895 m 1855 Martha J.

Thornton of Alexandria.  Concerning this experi- ence his son says, "In those days the Dr. always kept a Drug Store.  He worked in the Drug Store and studied Medicine at the same time.  One day a farmer came in with an earache which needed the pouring into the ear of Sweet Oil of Almonds.  Father mistakenly poured in the Bitter Oil of Almonds. There was a Monkey and Parrot time and father concluded as Gil Blas says, 'That he did not desire to take up the trade of an assassin.'  He decided to adopt the law and while studying the law to study Latin and Greek.  He went to a teacher there built his fire in the morning and put the room in order and 64 performed other services.  While the room was getting warm he recited Latin and Greek to the teacher in bed."  The obituary says one reason he left medicine was the death of Dr. Thornton.  At Alexandria he prepared for col- lege, but the family lost money, so instead of college he entered the law office of John Scott and Francis P. Brooks at Warrenton.            Upon being admitted to the bar about 1825 he moved to Ohio, im- pelled by the strong anti-slavery sentiment held by most Quakers.  For a year he lived at Zanesville, then at Coshocton, where he opened his first office.  In 1826 he was appointed county prosecuting attorney.  In 1829 he went to the Ohio legislature.  In 1831 he was appointed United States At- torney for the District of Ohio.  This caused him to move to Columbus, where court was held.  Just previous to this, in 1830, Alexandria Mtg disowned him for some reason.  There is a discrepancy here between this date and the pub- lished records of the meeting, which have 21.3.1839 Noah son of Joshua Swayne dec'd 1809 reported married out, then 19.12.1839 dismissed on report from Green Plain Mtg, Ohio, that he does not wish to retain membership. When he married in 1832 he thereby became owner of a large number of slaves. These were immediately freed by common consent of husband and wife.            For about 30 years Noah gave attention to private practice, al- though he was at various times called to public service, some of which calls he accepted.  In his practice, he was associated from 1839 to 1852 with James E. Bates; from 1853 to 1860 with Llewellyn Baber; from 1860 to 1861 with his eldest son John Wager Swayne.  In 1862 President Lincoln, following the decidedly expressed preference of the judges and lawyers of the Sixth Circuit, appointed Noah to the United States Supreme Court.  There he served 19 years, presenting his resignation 1880.            Noah was an ardent student of ancient and modern literature. Probably this, in connection with long and satisfactory public services, in- fluenced Yale, Dartmouth and Marietta in conferring upon him at various times the degree of LL. D.  After retiring from the bench he continued to live in Washington until the death of his wife a year later.  Then he went to New York City to live with his daughter Mrs. Edwin Parsons.  Most of this time he suffered from an affection of the heart and this, with weakness of age, caused his death.  He died surrounded by his five living children. Some data for these five have been found, but there are nine named in the History of Columbus, which says of four daughters that they died in child- hood and were buried in Green Lawn Cemetery there.  Probably these four came between John and Henry:      263  John Wager b 1834 d 1902 m 1868 Ellen Harris b 1846 d 1909      264  Catherine died in childhood      265  Rebecca d by 1840 died in childhood      266  Virginia died in childhood      267  Sallie died in childhood      268  Mary Llewellyn b by 1840 after Rebecca, d 1913 m Edwin Parsons d           1895      269  Henry Stuart b 1845 d 1893 m 1875 Sarah Worthington Davis alive           1921      270  Noah Haines b 1847 d prob. 1924 m 1886 Frances Sickles b 1852 d           1928      271  Francis Bond b 1850 d 1928 m 1875 Helen E.

The meeting minutes say  he attended and offered a paper condemning his deviation and also produced a few lines from friends of York Mtg giving a satisfactory account respecting him, the Case being solidly attended to the acknowledgment is accepted.  In 1819 Menallen Mtg says Francis Swayne has been guilty of wagering and receiving money on account of it; has also failed in the payment of his debts.  Four months later in the same year he was again disowned.            It seems likely Francis moved to Philadelphia even before this. Directories list Francis Swaine as cordwainer at 13 Chestnut St. there 1813 and 1814, as boot and shoe maker at 179 S. Front 1816, 1819 and 1821, the last of these years d h 178 S. Water.  In 1837 Francis Swain, huckster at 57 Lombard.  A permit was issued for interment in Friends ground in Phila- delphia of Francis Swain, died 11.6.1837 aged 62.  This age exactly fits. The Philadelphia Public Ledger says Sarah Swayne died July 21, 1847 in her 50th year, months of affliction are o'er, funeral back of 30 Lombard St., York papers copy   If this was the wife 144 Francis married about 1797, the age is wrong.  However, there seems to be little doubt most or all of the above refers to him.  A record has turned up for one child:      272  Jane M. b 1797 d 1832 m 1817 Gideon Griest b 1796 d 1855            145  CALEB SWAYNE (5), born 10.4.1776, apparently died by 1784, son of 72 James Swayne & Hannah Swayne of London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., since in that year his mother's certificate from Virginia to Pennsylvania with children Francis, Elizabeth and Lydia does not mention Caleb.            146  BETTY SWAYNE (5), born after 1776 by 1783, daughter of 72 James Swayne & Hannah Swayne of London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., died not married, from the Baily Gen.  The dates are from that for birth of her elder brother in 1776 and her name on her mother's 1783 meeting certificate.            147  LYDIA SWAYNE (5), born 1783 or 1784, daughter of 72 James Swayne & Hannah Swayne of London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., from dates on two of her mother's meeting certificates, of which only the second mentions Lydia, is supposed to be the one of whom minutes of London Grove Mtg say 2.10.1820 it had become difficult to find a place to board Lydia Swayne, who was insane, and it was proposed to place her in the asylum.  Fallowfield Mtg was informed, and approved.  None other has been found who fits this time.            148  ORPHA SWAYNE (5), born after 1783 by 1788, daughter of 72 James Swayne & Hannah Swayne of London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., married William Hirst, and they lived in Philadelphia.  The dates are from two of her mother's meeting certificates, of which only the second mentions Orpha. 66            149  ELI J. SWAYNE (5), born probably by 1784, died about 1863, son of 72 James Swayne & Hannah Swayne of London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., married 1st at London Grove Mtg 10.14.1807 Deborah Woodward, born 7.25.1781, died 12.24.1813, daughter of Thomas Woodward & Mary Pusey of East Marlborough Twp, married 2nd 1.29.1816 Mary Shaw of West Whiteland Twp.  The above dates are from the Kirk Family by Stubbs, except Eli's birth, which there is given 6.10.1786, the same as in records of Fallowfield Mtg, and the 2nd marriage, from American Republican, and also on the docket of James M. McFarlan J. P., who was in Uwchlan and Brandywine Twps.  This docket is the only source for Eli's middle letter.  The reason the 1786 date cannot be fully accepted is that Eli was named in the will of his uncle 73 Francis Swayne, recorded in the will book as drawn 1785, but probably drawn 1784, since the codicil is dated before the will.  This would fit with the 1786 birth if there had been an earlier Eli who died young, which may be the case.  Records of this fa- mily are scanty.            11.2.1814 Eli Swayne was one of many who had certificates from Bradford Mtg to Concord Mtg because they wished to belong to West Chester Preparative Mtg.  The above Kirk Family says Eli was for some time doorkeeper of the House of Representatives and lived in Harrisburg, went from there to Philadelphia and afterwards to Delaware, where he died.  His wife Deborah was buried at London Grove.  8.18.1816 Birmingham Mtg says Eli of West Ches- ter has married one not a member.  A little later he has been disowned. Births of the first four children below and deaths of two are in Fallowfield Mtg records.  Directories of Philadelphia list Eli Swayne, baker, at Car- penter ab 9 in 1843, 1844 and 1845, then Ely at 184 Carpenter in 1847, and Eli, gent, at Bath & Ann in 1859.  One of these years, 1844, he was also baker at 332 South Fifth St.  In 1849 Gibson Swayne, also a baker, was at 373 South Front St.  His will mentions two sisters.  It is supposed these three were children of Eli by the second, or a later wife.      273  Hannah b 1808 d 1808      274  Joel W. b 1810 d 1874 m 1839 Susan J.

Hannah Altemus, formerly Swayne, was to be treated with by Menallen Mtg on behalf of Darby Mtg for marriage out.  This treatment must have succeeded, for in 1818 there was a certificate for her from Darby to Menallen Mtg, and in 1819 one from there to Warrington.  The Baily Gen. says Hannah married in Adams Co. Isaac Altemus, whose 1st wife had been Maria Keehmle of German-                                                                           67 town, who left children Isaac and Leonard, and after Hannah died he married 3rd in 1837 Sarah Ann Pusey.  It names these eight children of Isaac & Hannah:      1  Francis b 1818      2  Marshall b 1819 d 1897 m 1842 Susan Davis Chalfant b 1819 d 1903      3  Anna Maria b 1822      4  Sarah Ann      5  Alfred      6  Almira b 1828      7  Hiram b 1832      8  Hannah Emma b 1835            152  SUSANNAH SWAYNE (5), born 1797, daughter of 72 James Swayne & Hannah Swayne of London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., married 1817 Daniel Griest, born 1795, son of Joseph Griest & Mary Wireman of Huntington Twp, Adams Co.  This is from Menallen Mtg.  Here are four children as remembered by granddaughter Mary Jane Rich Cross of 272 Jane M.

Evan was a teacher for more than thirty years.  During the later part of that time he owned and ran Eaton Institute, a boarding and day school for girl boarders and a few day student boys, in Kennett Square, Pa.  The Amer- ican Republican of Aug. 7, 1866 has a ten times advertisement saying Eaton Female Institute will open 1st of 10th mo 1866.  Within about four years after moving from London Grove to Kennett Square, Evan bought land there on Broad St., Union St., State St., along the railroad south of town, Lincoln Ave. and Garfield St., of which much was sold during his life, but some by his widow and children, by at least twenty seven deeds in all.  Of these only those of chief family interest will be described.  30th of 5th mo 1879 Evan & Sarah deeded to Edward Swayne for $100, 7804 sq. ft. at the corner of Linden and Swayne Sts., 75' on Linden and 104' on Swayne, 196' N from West State St., part of that received by Evan 31st of 3rd mo 1865, which included the 3½ acres between State and Linden Streets, running from Maiden Lane on the East to the Pusey and Passmore property on the West.  21 May 1887 they deeded for $750 to Anna M. Green 14535 sq. ft. running 306' from West State St. to West Linden St., along Linden 45' and State 50', part of the same 3½ acres.  There two generations of Greens have lived.  4 Apr. 1895 Sarah deeded to Anna M. Green a strip seven feet wide adjoining.  26th of 72 12th mo 1893 Evan joined with other trustees of London Grove Preparative Mtg in deeding their property to new trustees.  4 Nov. 1893 Evan & Sarah, having already deeded their son Edward a lot, deeded one to each of their other children for one dollar each, as follows:  Anna Belle 13875 sq. ft., 75' front on Garfield St. and 185' deep to an alley; Charles S. 27750 sq. ft. at the NE corner of Garfield and Linden Sts, 150' front on Garfield and back to Spruce Alley; Laura P. 13875 sq. ft. just N from Charles S., 75' front on Garfield and back to Spruce Alley.  1 Apr. 1895 Sarah deeded for $5500 to Joseph C. Chambers a messuage and 41983 sq. ft. on West State St., 106' front, running back 306' to West Linden St., part of the 3½ acres above, willed by Evan to wife Sarah.  This was the place where the family had lived after moving from the school building, and up to the time Sarah built a new stone dwelling on the hill, fronting on Garfield St.  4 Apr. 1895 Sarah deeded to Edward Swayne of Kennett Square for one dollar a lot on West State St. just W from the one deeded to Chambers, 17757 sq. ft., 98' front from Sidney Passmore to Chambers, N 196' to Edward Swayne's other land, received 12 Apr. 1884 by Evan and willed to wife Sarah.  27 May 1907 Edward Swayne of East Bradford Twp and Laura P. Swayne of Kennett Square exrs of Sarah W. Swayne deeded for $6000 to William L. Lang 19850 sq. ft., 107' front on Gar- field St. and 185' back to Pine Alley, willed to wife Sarah by Evan, who died Dec. 2, 1894 and she died July 29, 1905.  Here the family had lived ten years.  It was just N from the lot deeded 1893 to Anna Belle Swayne, who a month earlier had deeded it to Lang.  Before her death Sarah had deeded 29 March 1901 for $7500 to Friends Boarding Home of Western Quarterly Mtg. Eaton Academy or Institute in Kennett Square, 243' front on West State St. and 306' back to West Linden St., 72164 sq. ft., 238' along Linden, all that remained of the 3½ acres.  The eastern boundary crossed Maiden Lane from W to E about halfway from Linden to State.  Now, 19 Sep. 1907 the four children as directed in Sarah's will, proved Aug. 11, 1905, divided some of her estate among themselves:  Edward got a lot of 187' front on Lincoln St., S to Spruce Alley in line of the greenhouse lot of Charles S., 29540 sq. ft; Laura P. got two lots, 1st 104' front on Garfield St. from West Linden St. to Pine Alley, 19275 sq. ft., 2nd just S from this on Garfield St. and Spruce Alley, adjoin- ing greenhouse lot of Charles S. on S, 71' front, 13199 sq. ft.; Anna Belle got a lot by S. Jones Phillips on Pine Alley, 1.42 acres 30 sq. ft.; Charles S. got a lot on West State St. by Sidney Passmore deceased, E 98' to Joseph Chambers, received from Edward Swayne 9 May 1902 by Sarah W. Swayne.  10 Dec. 1921 Edward Swayne exr of Sarah W. Swayne by atty Laura P. Swayne and Laura P. Swayne exr of same deeded for $22000 lot and buildings on SE corner of East State St. and South Union St. in Kennett Square, 15019 sq. ft., 53' front on State by 111' deep, received March 16, 1876 by Evan, whose will left all to wife Sarah, whose will directed exrs to sell.  This had been known as Swayne Block, and was in the principal business block.  Sep. 29, 1950 the last of Sarah's estate was sold for $7500 by the heirs after death of all the children.  This consisted of a small lot on the South side of Cedar St. in Kennett Square, just E from Union St., part of a large strip along the rail- road received by Evan 5th of 10th mo 1869.  On this in 1889 Evan had erected three small double frame houses at a cost of $3000.  These were rented at first to whites, later to colored tenants.            The 1870 census has Evan T. Swayne 45 M Proprietor of Female Sem- inary in Kennett Borough with parents, wife and the three elder children. That of 1880 has him in same as Gentleman, with wife and the four children,                                                                           73 of whom Edward was Florist, Laura at home, Anna B. at school.  In 1875 Evan was Treasurer of Kennett Borough.            An obituary signed J., probably by Laura E. Johnson, close friend of the two daughters and Kennett correspondent for West Chester Daily Local News, says "By the death of Evan T. Swayne Kennett Square loses a repre- sentative citizen, the Society of Friends one of its ablest leaders, and society in general a refined, cultured, knightly gentleman of a type most rare and character most exemplary.  One of his last acts in a public capac- ity was his appeal, before the Committee of One Hundred, appointed by the Yearly Meeting for the revision of the discipline, for the retention of the fundamental doctrine of the Society of Friends.  Those who heard that vigor- ous speech will long remember the power of the man.  In the Kennett Square First Day School he labored indefatigably amid the elements of indifference, radicalism and dead traditions during the best years of his life.  His mind was clear, quick and analytical, and his utterance direct, concise, forcible. He was a lover of poetry, oratory and music, giving the latter defense, de- spite the declarations of his church.  He was a Prohibitionist and defender of woman suffrage.  At the time he was stricken down, two years ago, he oc- cupied the chair of was foremost in the councils of sixteen different bodies of the Society of Friends.  He served a number of years as Assistant Clerk of the Yearly Meeting, Clerk of the Western Quarterly Meeting, Clerk of the Monthly Meeting and President of the Board of Directors of Martin Academy in Kennett Square."  Evan was superintendent of Kennett Meeting First Day School many years.  The above reference to music is to introduction of a piano into his school.  Supposedly because of this he was relieved of one of his clerk- ships, but afterward was reinstated.  My aunts used to say their father was always going away, or had just come back, from some committee meeting.  For several years after the close of Eaton Institute on account of the rise of state Normal Schools, the family lived in the school building on State St., later sold to Western Quarterly Mtg and in 1954 still used as Friends Board- ing Home.  In a letter written by grandmother in 1895 she says Evan was stricken with heart trouble coming home from Quarterly Mtg in the fall of 1892.  He had never before been sick, but never got over it.  He was allowed no exertion, had to be dressed and undressed, carried up and down stairs. His daughter Laura and sister Jennie were his principal nurses until his death of angina pectoris.  In the same letter grandmother says she did not expect to be left behind, and Evan did not expect it, as she had some throat trouble for years that made her hard of hearing.  During this last illness Evan one day looked up at Sarah from his bed and told her she was a wonderful woman.  This she treasured during the rest of her life.  A short poem, ap- parently in grandfather's hand, shows he had felt the same much earlier.  It is dated 10th mo 10th 1850 and titled:  Thoughts of an Evening produced by receiving a rosebud from my dear S.            Father I thank thee that my love            With one sweet spirit is entwined,            Oh grant that we may happy be,            But unto thee for aye resigned.            I know that thou hast guided me,            Still hast thine arm been underneath,            Humbly I raise my voice to thee,            Oh father!  guard her every breath. 74            For it hath been thy Holy will,            To blend her happiness with mine,            To see thy creatures happy still,            Great Father must be part of thine.            Thou art eternally the same,            Throughout the universal whole,            All nature tells us of thy name,            I feel thy power within my soul.            Again I thank thee Holy one,            For all thy benefits to me,            And may I never learn to shun,            The duties that I owe to thee.            Evan, Sarah and these four children all lie in one lot in Union Hill Cemetery, just north of Kennett Square:      327  Edward b 1853 d 1929 m 1st 1884 Mary Dent Walton b 1863 d 1913, m           2nd 1923 Pauline Christine Wilber b 1884      328  Laura Pusey b 1857 d 1928 not married      329  Anna Belle b 1864 d 1931 m 1907 Albert Taylor Jackson b 1870 d 1930      330  Charles Sumner b 1870 d 1950 m 1st 1912 Florence Helen Lamborn b           1883 d 1913, m 2nd 1916 Daisy Elizabeth Bird b 1883            173  EDWARD SWAYNE (6), born 1.15.1826, died 11.18.1846, son of 96 Benjamin Swayne & Sarah Phillips of London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., was not married.  Pennsgrove Mtg says buried at Oxford.  Accounts written by both his father and his sister Jane show that on 11th mo 10th while loading corn fodder he fell in jumping from the cart and died from concussion after several days illness, during part of which he was delirious.  His was sup- posed to be the best mind of the family.  Frequently he wrote verse, of which this is best known and is a reminder of the time when the family lived at Octoraro Valley, later called Homeville:                                To The Octoraro            The forest bends o'er thee, thou stream of my song,            Where light, mimic billows are bounding along;            The laurel and cedar in triumph have made            A sylvan enchantment with evergreen shade.            Their murmurings tremble upon their green leave,            Where every bright bubble with breathing upheaves.            Flow, fair Octoraro, flow gently along,            I love thee!  I love thee!  Thou stream of my song.            The fairest of flowerets bloom by thy side,            And blush at their images down in thy tide;            The fair water lily is nursed by thy wave,            Thou rock'st it an infant and find'st it a grave.            Yet did not thy bosom entomb it in vain,            It riseth and bloometh a lily again;            The wild roses greet thee, the flags are unfurl'd,            Thy vale, Octoraro's a beautiful world                                                                           75            They tell me of streams that are far from thy shore,            Where Scotia's wild waters in cataract roar,            They tell me of rivers surprisingly fair,            The swift "rushing Dee" and the "bonny bright Ayr;"            Yet none would I ask, could they come at my call,            For thou, Octoraro, art dearer than all;            Mid fragrance and beauty flow gently along,            I love thee!  I love thee!  Thou stream of my song.            A moss-covered rock, that unconsciously lends            A charm to thy margin, is one of my friends;            It laughs when I laugh, in my joys takes a part,            And echoes the language thou lisp'st to my heart.            In fairylike grandeur by this my lone seat,            Where oft in the shadows of eve I retreat,            When Phoebus beneath thee her brilliance unfurls,            And sports in thy eddies like thousands of pearls;            When o'er thee the blackbirds their wild revels keep,            The turtle dove moans to a lover asleep,            The ring plovers' melody floats on the breeze,            The red-breasted warbler enchants from the trees,            The lark gaily sings in his circles above,            The musical thrush in thy curtain'd alcove;            When ev'ry sweet songster, attuned from on high,            Then Heaven's glad minstrelsy swells to the sky.            Endear'd Octoraro, if ever I stray            With syrens of fortune, from thee far away,            On sleep's dreamy pinions I'll visit thy shore,            And fancy I hear in the breezes thy roar.            Then murmur thee onward, far onward from me,            And bear the proud ship on the waves of the sea;            'Mid fragrance and beauty move gently along,            I love thee!  I love thee!  Thou stream of my song.            Octoraro Valley, 1846            174  CALEB SWAYNE (6), born 7.16.1827, died 10.24.1860, son of 96 Benjamin Swayne & Sarah Phillips of London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., was not married.  The West Chester Village Record gives this date of death at the home of his parents in London Grove Twp aged 33 yr 3 mo.  From ac- counts written by his father and his sister Jane and an extensive obituary compiled and sent to the family on resolution of the Chester Co. Medical Society, signed J. P., apparently Dr. Jacob Price, then president, these events of his life have been chosen:            In the winter of 1846-1847 Caleb attended the boarding school of Thomas Conard  where lectures on physiology and chemistry so roused his 76 interest that he then seems to have decided on the study of medicine.  His father discouraged him because of lack of means to pay for a thorough educa- tion, and writes at about this time:  "I went to the field one day to see how he was progressing with his work, when I perceived a long list of Latin terms pasted on his plough beam, which he was committing to memory whilst turning the soil.  Not long after this we were at work together, when he in- quired what amount I wanted him to perform that day.  I pointed it out to him.  He accomplished it two hours before sunset and I was surprised to see him after a hard day's toil, going to dig out a groundhog, which he opened in order to witness the action of the heart.  With this experiment he seemed delighted.  I was induced by these things to reflect whether it was right to discourage a mind so intent upon accomplishing its object--however limited the means.  I therefore threw no further obstruction in the path he had marked out, but endeavored to assist him therein."  In spring of 1849 he en- gaged regularly in the study of medicine under the care of Dr. Benjamin J. Pennock of London Grove.  He attended lectures at the University of Pennsyl- vania and graduated in the spring of 1852, then commenced practice in his own neighborhood.  In Caleb's diary 8.13.1856 he says:  "I have been very busily engaged during the past month in waiting upon the sick, but I am fear- ful my health will give way.  My right lung seems to be in a critical condi- tion--altho no one knows but that I am in vigorous health."  However, he continued in his profession until the latter part of 1859, except for a time in 1857 when he was attacked by pleuro-pneumonia.  He died of pulmonary tu- berculosis.  He served the county medical society as vice president and president, and when he died was a member of the American Medical Association. In his attentions to the poor he was so prompt and kind that they showed great friendliness toward him, and much sorrow at his death.  His sister Jane says he was followed to London Grove graveyard by about 130 carriages. Also she says he was engaged to marry Sallie J. Paxson.  In our family archives are his diploma, various books which contain his notes at the uni- versity, his records of cases and his diary, which gives some genealogical information.            175  MARY P. SWAYNE (6), born 3.28.1829, died 9.14.1865, daughter of 96 Benjamin Swayne & Sarah Phillips of London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., was not married.  She nursed her brother Caleb, contracted pulmonary tubercu- losis, and died of it.  Her sister Jane left her home and for more than three months at the end was Mary's constant companion and nurse.  In our family archives is Jane's account of this time, detailing many things Mary said in her last days.  One thing she said was:  "I shall see Caleb and Charlie", referring to her brother and to her friend who died in the army.  She was buried at London Grove, where her stone bears the above date.            176  JANE T. SWAYNE (6), born 8.11.1832, died 2.19.1915, daughter of 96 Benjamin Swayne & Sarah Phillips of London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., married 10.18.1855 at her father's in care of London Grove Mtg, Joseph W. Barnard, born 11.29.1834, died 10.24.1888, son of Richard Meredith Barnard & Hannah Wilson of Newlin Twp.  Jane's death is from Friends Intelligencer, Joseph's from John Hannum Descendants, which says he died in West Chester and was buried in Hicksite Friends ground south of there.  He was for a time in mercantile business, later studied law under Washington Townsend and in 1867 was admitted to the Chester Co. bar.  For a number of years he was chairman of the county Republican Committee and in 1876 was Presidential Elector.  He                                                                           77 was one of the originators of the Philosophical Society of West Chester and a frequent contributor of papers at its meetings.  A book in our family archives marked "J. W. Barnard, Cash Book", from which most of the used leaves have been cut, contains at the back a summary of the fees he received for 21 years, 1866 to 1886 inclusive.  He has figured the average at $3369.05 per year, which seemed to be plenty to live on then, as he supported a car- riage and team of horses.  A local paper described an exciting time when this equipage with Joseph & Jane was run into on High St. in West Chester by the runaway team of Dr. Price, probably the one mentioned under 174 Caleb. After Joseph's death Jane lived mostly at Kennett Square, first with her brother Evan, then with his widow, finally with their daughter Laura.  She was active in charitable work, and for nineteen years, ending 1911, was president of the Chester Co. Children's Aid Society.  A few years before her death she was lamed by a fall backward from the step of a trolley car, and after that was kept pretty closely to the house.  There were no children.      ****************************************************************            177  PHILENA P. SWAYNE (6), born 9.28.1819, died 2.15.1903, daughter of 97 Huson Swayne & Susanna Phillips of Philadelphia, Pa., married 5.4.1843 in West Chester at Birmingham Mtg, Edmund W. Lippincott of Chester, N. J., son of Seth Lippincott & Miram W.  The Friend says at the time of the marriage Philena was of West Chester and Edmund of Westfield, N. J.  Philena was a student at Westtown School.  Grand daughter Martha Colson Lippincott Davis has given some data for these five children:      1  Susanna R. m 5.18.1871 Lewis Willits Worthington      2  Samuel Henry b ab 1848 d 1886 m Elizabeth Ballinger      3  Edmund died      4  Miriam died young      5  Harry died young            178  ALBANUS REST SWAYNE (6), born 11.23.1821, died 10.8.1863, son of 97 Huson Swayne & Susanna Phillips of Philadelphia, Pa., apparently was not married.  His death is from West Chester Village Record, Philadel- phia Public Ledger and Friends Intelligencer, of which the last two say of Placerville, Boise Mines, Idaho Territory, where Philadelphia Hicksite Mtg says he was buried.  This meeting has 4.21.1841 Albanus R. Swayne, minor, from Birmingham, and Philadelphia Orthodox Mtg has 10.18.1843 Albanus R. from Western District.  Half brother 181 Franklin says their father told him Albanus died without issue, and that seems likely.  However, Albanus died about six months later than his father.            179  WILLIAM PHILLIPS SWAYNE (6), born 1825, died 2.26.1906, son of 97 Huson Swayne & Susanna Phillips of Philadelphia, Pa., married probably 1857 Georgeanna H. Cram, died Apr. 19, 1897.  Her death and his birth are from Philadelphia Public Ledger, which says he was in his 81st year and the residence of both was 330 N. 6th St., that he was 40 years member of the firm of Swayne & Son, manufacturers of patent medicines, graduate of the medical department of U. of P., member of the Union League, survived by one son William A., and was buried in West Laurel Hill Cemetery.  Philadelphia Orthodox Mtg has William P., minor, from Wilmington dated 7.1.1843, 3.24. 1853 to W. D.  Philadelphia Hicksite Mtg has William P., minor, 6.15.1842 from London Grove, 12.27.1857 reported married out, 4.19.1876 released on 78 request.  A letter from him in Philadelphia in 1893 bears on envelope and letterhead Dr. Swayne & Son, with a picture of a building marked Swayne's Medicines 36 South Seventh.  This was the son:      331  William Ambrose b 1862 d 1946 not married            180  GEORGE SWAYNE (6), born 1842, supposed died young, son of 97 Huson Swayne & Sarah Ann Tryon of Philadelphia, Pa., may have matured and married.  Brother 181 Franklin would say only that he once had a brother George.  Huson's will named the other four children, but not George.  How- ever, the Kirk Family by Stubbs, including mostly people of the locality where Huson was born, has a George Swayne who married 11.18.1867 Rachel L. Kirk, born 11.18.1846, daughter of Lewis Kirk & Jane Hollingsworth, and they migrated west.  This same George is on record among Chester Co deeds where 3 Oct. 1890 George Swain & wife Rachel Lewis of Shelby Co., Illinois with two other heirs of William Hollingsworth deeded for $900 a messuage and 2080 sq. ft. on the E side of S. Walnut St. in West Chester, now #23, received by the 1887 will of William Hollingsworth by nephew Joshua H. Kirk for life, then to be sold and proceeds divided equally among the three now grantors, of whom one had been Rachel Lewis Kirk.  George may not have been of our Ches- ter Co. Swaynes, but of the New England immigrant Swains.            181  FRANKLIN SWAYNE (6), born Jan. 25, 1844, died Jan. 1924, son of 97 Huson Swayne & Sarah Ann Tryon of Philadelphia, Pa., married about 1900 Dorothy Clifford or Clifton or Chandos, an English woman, but they were soon divorced.  The Biographical Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania, published 1874, says Franklin Swayne, lawyer, born in the old city proper of Philadel- phia as above, grandson of the late George Tryon, Philadelphia merchant, after graduating from high school became financial clerk in the Ordnance Dept. of Bridesburg Arsenal, was there three years, resigned to become re- ceiving teller in the National Bank of the Republic, devoted his leisure time to law study in the office of Charles E. Lex and soon was admitted to practice.            When I met him about 1918 Franklin was an attorney with an office in Philadelphia, to which he went perhaps one or two days a week from his 700 acres estate at Hibernia, north of Coatesville, Pa., a long slow trip by train and trolley.  He said he had been to England many times.  No doubt he got his wife on one of these trips.  The first two guesses at her surname are from memories of others, the third from one of the deeds below.  Dorothy has been long remembered in Coatesville for driving to and about the town with an English coach and four.  The will of Franklin, who died in Lankenau Hospital in Philadelphia, was proved Jan. 17, 1924.  His effects were esti- mated at $45500.            Franklin said in searching titles to his land at Hibernia he dis- covered part of it had belonged to 5 Francis Swayne.  His large holding there was acquired as follows:  18 Oct. 1894 for $3500 a plantation and mes- suages in West Caln and Brandywine Twps on Brandywine Creek and Philadelphia & Reading R. R., by Methodist Church, 536 acres subject to mortgage of $8500 and a lease to Kennebec Ice Co.  A deed of confirmation a little later to correct errors made the acreage almost 523.  2 Sep. 1903 he got for $3100, 104 acres plus seven acres of woodland, by his other land.  19 May 1911 he got from the Coatesville Ice Co. by Hibernia Dam of Brandywine Creek and by                                                                           79 his other land, running along the creek as far as Birch Run, 43 acres, the grantor reserving the privilege of removing buildings and machinery up to Oct. 1, 1914.  17 July 1914 he got from Pocono Ice and Coal Co. for $3000 a tract with buildings on part of Hibernia Farm in West Brandywine and West Caln Twps, 38 acres by his land from Coatesville Ice Co. and by Hibernia Methodist Church, being the eastern end of a larger tract received 6 Feb. 1903 from Franklin Swayne & wife Dorothy Chandos Swayne, with all buildings, dams, etc.            Franklin gave some misinformation, later proved false or exagger- ated.  This was probably partly from failing memory, partly from wishful thinking.  It is believed he had no children who came to birth, in spite of his giving name and approximate dates of birth and death for a son, which was published in 1921 in the first edition of this compilation.      ****************************************************************            182  BENJAMIN PENNOCK SWAYNE (6), born 6.11.1822, died Feb. 1, 1867, son of 98 Caleb Swayne & Rachel B.

Pennock, born 1.30.1833, died 6.20.1919, daughter of James Pennock & Amy Thomas of London Grove.  The 1st wife died at the residence of her father, 24 John St.  Benjamin and his 2nd wife died at Friends Boarding home in Kennett Square, where I saw him short- ly before his death.  All three were buried at London Grove Mtg.  He farmed three miles west of Kennett Square.  He with wife Jane T. deeded these three properties:  1 May 1863 of London Grove Twp for $1283 to Elias Hicks 16 acres next Isaac S. Walton received 6 Apr. 1854 by Benjamin; 11 Aug. 1900 still of same, with other heirs of Evan T. Pennock for $7000, 154 acres in West Marlborough Twp.  Jane T. Swayne was sister of Evan T. Pennock; 5 Apr. 1904, now of Kennett Square, for $5000 a messuage and 63 acres in London Grove Twp by Samuel Spencer, late of Joshua Walton, received 27 Sep. 1850 80 by Benjamin.  At least two examples of Benjamin's poetry made the West Ches- ter Village Record.  Below will be set forth the one on the Swayne clock, which 1 Francis brought from England, and which the widow of his grandson 9 William willed to their son 42 Benjamin, who was grandfather of 184 Benjamin W., instead of willing it to 37 Caleb, who was eldest son then living and my own great great grandfather.  Not that she favored Benjamin over Caleb.  She had the idea her desk was more desirable, and willed that to Caleb in the item of her unsigned, never proved will just preceding that giving the clock to Benjamin.  The clock in 1954 or lately was in possession of 544 John Ban- croft Swayne of Kennett Square, grandson of this poet:            London Grove, 10th Mo. 22d, 1882. To the Editors of the Village Record--      Esteemed Friends:- I herewith enclose for publication in the Village Record if acceptable "The Old Family Clock," an old timepiece that has meas- ured time since seventeen hundred and ten (1710) when it was brought to this country by some of the progenitors of the Swayne family, and has been handed down from generation to generation from that time to the present.  It is an excellent time-keeper and from present appearance looks as though it might do service for another century.  There is no means of telling how old it really is, as there is no date upon it, but the maker's name and place of residence- "Luke Wise, at Reading"-are plainly engraved on the face, and as a relic that was contemporary with William Penn it is highly prized by                                                   Yours, respectfully,                                                       Benjamin W. Swayne                           THE  OLD  FAMILY  CLOCK                             By Benj. W. Swayne      As I sat in silent reverie within the dining hall,      With the old clock ticking, ticking as it stood against the wall;      My thoughts were carried back to the time that's past and gone,      Has been the grave of generations, but the clock keeps ticking on.      With its heavy winding chain, and its massive leaden weight,      Its quaint old walnut case, and its shining dial plate;      With its pendulum swinging to and fro, as when      It measured off the time in the days of William Penn.      If the clock could only talk, what a tale in might unfold,      What a history it could give of the checkered days of old;      How our forefathers founded fair freedom's institution,      And pledged their solemn faith to support the constitution.      How by the greed of England the people's hearts were stirred,      And refused to bend the neck to the yoke of George the Third;      How the cupidity of Britain boded her but ill,      When she met the Continentals on now famous Bunker Hill.      How the people's hearts were swayed by alternate hopes and fears,      By the victories and reverses of six long weary years;      How they met our men in battle, on Yorktown's sanguine field,      And the veteran troops of England to raw Yankees had to yield.      How the nation from its infancy to manhood's stature grew,      What trials, and what hardships the people have passed through;      How prosperity has followed where'er our flag's unfurled,      And made this favored land of ours the granary of the world.      The clock has rung the happy hour when two hearts were joined as one,                                                                           81      It has tolled in mournful numbers when a mortal's course was run;      But my very pleasant reverie is broken by the spell      Of thinking, could it only talk, what the family clock might tell.            Benjamin had one son, by the first wife:      332  William b 1851 d 1950 m 1st 1876 Mary Anna Thompson b 1853 d 1886,           m 2nd 1888 Adaline Husbands MacFarlan b 1864 d 1950            185  WILLIAM MARSHALL SWAYNE (6), born 12.1.1828, died May 1, 1918, son of 99 William Swayne & Mary Ann Marshall of East Marlborough Twp, Chester Co., Pa., married 11.14.1850 at R. M. Barnard's, from records of Kennett Mtg, Mary Barnard, born 8.9.1828, died Jan. 31, 1917, daughter of Richard Meredith Barnard & Hannah Wilson of Newlin Twp.  They farmed in East Marlborough Twp, then lived in Washington, D. C., then for a few years in West Chester, Pa., then in New Garden Twp several decades, then in Kennett Square, where both died, Mary of pneumonia which followed a cold.            Marshall, as he was called, was a sculptor of note.  West Chester Daily Local News and other papers say William Marshall Swayne lived many years on the Street Road about four miles north from Kennett Square, where limestone for many of his busts was cut.  Among others are General Anthony Wayne, Dr. William Darlington, several of Abraham Lincoln, Salmon  P. Chase, Edwin M. Stanton, William H. Seward, Andrew Johnson, Bayard Taylor, General Meade, many officials of the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, Sam Houston, John Hickman, Joshua R. Giddings, James A. Bayard, Washington Town- send and Noah Swayne.  Many of these were made while he was a clerk in the internal revenue offices at the U. S. Treasury, to which he had been ap- pointed at the instance of 143 Noah Haynes Swayne of the U. S. Supreme Court. Chester Co. Collections for 1939 has a list of his works of sculpture, 51 in all, in order of execution, the list made by William Marshall Swayne, the locations furnished by his son Antonio Canova Swayne, who then had nine of them, these in 1954 in the Chester Co. Historical Society museum.  Of some of his statues several copies were made.  In 1864 in Washington, President Lincoln sat for him for a bust, and afterwards said, "I have sat for several to model my likeness, but I like yours best."  His bust of James Bayard Tay- lor of Kennett Square was made in 1878 from a sitting the day before Taylor departed for Berlin as American Envoy Extraordinary.  This bust is in the Bayard Taylor Memorial Library in Kennett Square and is considered by the Taylor family and old neighbors a striking likeness.            In the Jeffersonian of 10.9.1858 was advertised for public sale Oct. 30, 1858 by Milton Barnard of Newlin and William Chalfant of East Marl- borough assignees of William Marshall Swayne & wife for benefit of creditors, these three tracts in East Marlborough Twp on Street Road 1½ miles N from Philadelphia & Baltimore Central R. R., 1½ miles E from London Grove Mtg, 2 miles NW from Kennett Square:      No  1 -- Mansion House Farm, 104 acres Limestone Land, running water in every field but two, which are watered by a never failing supply at the barn, highly cultivated, well fenced, 12 acres Heavy Timber, chestnut, oak, hick- ory, walnut, Orchard with 20 varieties apples, 15 pears, 12 cherries, variety small fruit, house 50 x 35, brick and frame, surrounded by ornamental trees, wood house, barn 50 x 35, with 120 feet front, shedding, corn crib, large stone springhouse over excellent spring, smoke house, log house, other out- 82 buildings, buildings supplied with water by a hydraulic, two tenant houses, one new two story stone house, also Limestone Quarry with two new kilns, where 15 to 20000 bushels are burned yearly, never been in the market before, convenient to mills, schools and places of public worship.      No. 2 -- 25 acres adjoining on the south, highly cultivated, good loca- tion for buildings.      No. 3 -- 5 acres with limestone quarry on which is a perpetual lime kiln on an improved plan, Blacksmith shop, both recently built.            1 Apr. 1859 these assignees deeded for $10938.12 to William Entriken, No. 1, now called 98 acres, which had been received by William Marshall and brother Benjamin W. by will of their father Benjamin, drawn 1844, and Benjamin W. 27 Sep. 1850 released his right to brother William Marshall.  John Swayne was on the west and Joel J. Swayne part owner on the south.  The same day these assignees deeded to the same Joel J. Swayne both No. 2 and No. 3, for a total of $1406.32, the former now called 24 acres, each with a messuage.  Both lay south of that deeded to William Entriken and had been received by deeds from James Miles 28 March 1857, the 24 acres by William Marshall, the five acres by William Marshall and brother Joel J., who now was deeded the other half.  Both had been parts of the tract 8 Ed- ward Swayne deeded to son Isaac.  Courses and bearings of the 24 acres tract begin at middle of public road--along same by James Miles N 85º E 53.92 pch to cor.

Pusey, eld- est son of Caleb Pusey, whose father Caleb Pusey was eldest son of Thomas Pusey, who was son of my ancestors Caleb Pusey & Prudence Carter, and mar- ried Mary Swayne, daughter of my ancestors 2 William Swayne & Elizabeth Dell, who had owned the whole Marlborough Street front of the original Swayne homestead, just to the east of where Thomas Pusey owned.  These 24 acres were the northeastern corner of what 1 Francis Swayne had left his son Edward, who had deeded them to his son Isaac, who died a young man and his exr Fran- cis Swayne sold them 1775 to Thomas Pusey, who 1783 deeded them to son Caleb, whose son Caleb died intestate and his son Caleb W. received them in distri- bution.  This is one of two cases in which parts of 1 Francis Swayne's pur- chase were sold out of the name, but later returned to it.  This sale in- cluded all buildings except barn and wagon house, which James Miles will remove.  The same day James Miles deeded for $2000 the five acres quarry lot, with privilege of entering other lands of James Miles for purposes of making, digging, deepening and repairing a canal or ditch to drain water from a lime stone quarry on the premises into a Creek called South Brook, to be kept covered with dirt so it shall be no obstruction to plowing.  14 Apr. 1855 James Miles had deeded to School Directors of East Marlborough Twp for $100 a lot of about 80 pch there on a public road to Webb's Mill in line of Thomas Pusey.  It is apparent from these three deeds that the quarry lot                                                                           83 was just west of the 24 acres and the school lot began where the quarry lot ended, but was on the other, or south, side of the road.  See map under 1 Francis.            1 Apr. 1869 William Marshall Swayne & wife Mary B. of West Chester deeded for $2500 a brick messuage and 2592 sq. ft. there on S side of Gay St. E from Franklin, received Nov. 15, 1867 by him from Anna W. Barnard.  The above Local News says during the time they lived in West Chester he estab- lished a trout hatchery and propagation pond at a spring in the rear of Dean St. near Wayne St., still in existence at his death.  In 1899 and 1904 they conveyed by three deeds for a total of $3725, 57 acres in New Garden Twp re- ceived 24th of 3rd mo 1891 by Mary B.  The census of 1870 has them in West Chester Borough with $9000 real estate and $2000 personalty with the first seven children at home.  That of 1880 has them in New Garden Twp, the father having changed from sculptor to farmer, with all eight children except A. Canova and Richard M. B.            Among the children of Richard Meredith Barnard, father of the above Mary Barnard, three married Swaynes, 176, 185 and 187, so three fami- lies were closely linked socially.  These ties extended to close relatives in the next generation, which included my father, aunts and uncle.  Marshall was greatly interested in Swayne family history, collected many documents, names and dates, which formed the valuable nucleus around which I began this compilation.  He wrote the article on the family in Futhey & Cope's History of Chester Co.  I visited him several times within a few years of his death, and we made one little trip together, on the re-interment project described under 1 Francis.  Sometimes he contributed poetry to local papers.  Here is a sample:                      The Barnard Family Have a Reunion Editor News:- Val delicia-- valley of delight -- the home of Mr. & Mrs. Charles Barnard, is on the State road, leading from Unionville to West Ches- ter, about two miles east of the former place.  Pocopson Creek, formed by the junction of three streams of equal volume near by, passes through it, and the beautiful valley through which it takes its course was well named by Richard M. Barnard, the father of the present occupants.            Milton Barnard built his home on part of the ancestral tract to which he gave the name of Alto Vista -- high view -- overlooking the valley of Pocopson on one side, and the historic Brandywine flowing about a quarter of a mile away, on the other.  Here it is proposed to hold, during the com- ing autumn a family reunion of all the descendants of Richard Barnard, their emigrant ancestor, who tradition says, "came to this country in the same vessel with Wm Penn."            Joseph W. Barnard Esq., who was first elected President of this reunion association, and who entered into the preliminary correspondence and laborious preparation necessary for such an event, with all his character- istic enthusiasm and untiring energy, has been withdrawn from our midst be- fore this long-hoped-for reunion could be realized.            The following poem is dedicated to Mr. & Mrs. Chas.Barnard: 84                      VAL DELICIA --- (AUTUMNAL DAYS)                      Val Delicia!  Val Delicia!                      With the name I thee endow,                      And the form of him who gave it,                      Seems to stand before me now;                      And his kindly words of greeting,                      Even yet, I seem to hear,                      And the wisdom of his counsel                      Yet to linger on my ear.                        Val Delicia, pleasant valley,                        Where the solidagos bloom,                         And the lovely purple aster                        Sheds a subtle shy perfume;                        And the pleasant autumn seasons                        Cheer the heart -- the spirits raise --                        When we meet in glad reunion                        Of memorial natal days.                      And from brow of Alto Vista,                      Where the tall trees proudly wave,                      View the patrimonial acres                      That our staid forefathers gave;                      Where cattle in the fields agraze,                      And rustle of the ripening corn                      Give token of September days,                      With fruitage of the summer born.                        Val Delicia!  Val Delicia!                        Lying warm in dreamy haze,                        Radiant in the robes of autumn,                        And thy bland October days.                        While the cherished charms of boyhood                        Deck thy fields and charm thy grove,                        One who loved thee well is passing                        To a fairer home above.                      Ah, too soon for us, my brother!                      Has thy generous heart been still'd.                      Too soon thy tireless hands were folded,                      And thy teeming brain was chill'd                      Where the firs low moan are making                      And the song-bird's lay is done,                      With the willow bowed and weeping,                      Val Delicia mourns her son.                        Val Delicia!  Val Delicia!                        We who linger on our ways,                        Yet, sweet memories fondly cherish                        Of some bright November days.                        Still the ripples of Pocopson,                        Flowing on, will chant thy praise;                        Still the cup of joy and sorrow                        Mingle with thy autumn days.                                                                           85                      But we seek a fairer valley,                      Just beyond our mortal sight,                      And a happier reunion                      In a home of love and light,                      Where the Spirit, here sojourning,                      In its frame of earthly mould,                      Stays the measure of its yearning                      And the joys of heaven unfold.                        From the night of dissolution,                        In the arms of angels borne                        Where, on plains of life elysian,                        Dawns our resurrection morn;                        And the brightness of the glory                        All the boundless realm illumes.                        There, the Lilly of the Valleys                        And the Rose of Sharon blooms.            Oct. 18, 1888                                W.M.S.            William Marshall & Mary B. had these eight children:      333  Ada B. b 1851 d 1884 m 1882 John W.

Moore Esq in the presence of Alderman Geo. Erety, Sarah Jane B. Noblit, born 1833, died Feb. 20, 1902, daughter of Hamilton Noblit & Mary Weldin of Wil- mington, Del.  The marriage is from Philadelphia Public Ledger and American Republican, her death from West Chester Daily Local News, which says her funeral from her residence near Fairville, interment Longwood Cemetery.            The 1850 census has in Pennsbury Twp, Chester Co., Jacob aged 20, farmer, with Mary Ann Swayne aged 47, Elizabeth Swayne age 17, Joel J. Swayne aged 13, and Ande Alee aged 30, labourer, born Irleland.  That of 1860 has in same Jacob, farmer with $12950 real estate, $1660 personalty, wife Sarah and the first three children.  That of 1870 has in same Jacob, farmer with $15000 real estate, $2000 personalty, wife Sarah and the first four children.  That of 1880 has in same Jacob, farmer, with wife Sarah J.B. and all six children still at home.  30 March 1874 he and Sarah Jane B. deeded for $25000, 125 acres in Pennsbury Twp on Wilmington and Doe Run Road by their other property, part of that received by him and brother Joel J. by will of grandfather Benjamin Swayne.  There were these six children:      341  Mary M. b 1854 d 1891 not married      342  William Hamilton b 1855 d 1914 m 1881 Ella M.

SWAYNE (6), born 1837, died about 26 June 1862, son of 99 William Swayne & Mary Ann Marshall of East Marlborough Twp, Chester Co., Pa., was not married.  From the article in the History of Chester Co. by his brother 185 William Marshall Swayne is learned that Joel was engaged in business in East Marlborough Twp at the start of the Civil War, when he became sergeant in the Kennett Rifle Company which he and one or two others helped Col. Fred Taylor to raise and which later was incorporated with the 1st Pa. Rifles, or "Bucktails."  He was elected 2nd Lieut. and after the battle of Dranesville was appointed adjutant of a battalion of the Bucktails detailed for service in the Shenandoah Valley.  He was fatally wounded at Harrisonburg June 6, 1862 and died in the hospital at Harrisburg about three weeks later.  Joel's death is from the court order of sale for his limestone quarry.  The West Chester Village record checks this exactly in its issue of 7.1.1862, a Tuesday, saying he died Thursday.  Also it relates that a rifle ball entered his side above the hip, passed through the spine, and he lay all night among the dying and the dead; that a memorial meeting for him was held July 6, 1862 at Warrenton, Va., where he was eulogized.  At London Grove Mtg is an undated stone marked Lieut. J. J. Swayne, 1st Pa. Rifle Co.             The will of Joel J. Swayne of Kennett Square, drawn 20 Apr. 1861, proved 11 July 1862, left mother Mary Ann Swayne all personal estate for life, except I request her to pay yearly interest of $100 to each of my nephew and nieces, brother Benjamin's son William, brother Jacob's children Mary M., William H. and Jacob M., sister Elizabeth M. Barnard's daughters Maggie B. and Josephine, this interest to be for their education.   After mother's death, all personal estate in equal shares to brothers Benjamin W., William M. and Jacob and sister Elizabeth M. Barnard.  Brother William M. Swayne's children to have equal shares in yearly proceeds or rent of my Lime Stone quarries and lot in East Marlborough until eldest child is 21, then to be sold at public sale and proceeds equally divided among the four children. Exrs brother Benjamin W. Swayne and B. F. Wickersham.  20 Aug. 1858 Joel J. Swayne of East Marlborough Twp deeded to Jacob Swayne of Pennsbury Twp for $5000 his undivided half of 182 acres in the latter received 6th of 4th mo 1824 by Benjamin Swayne who by will dated 13th of 8th mo 1844 devised this to these two grandsons equally as tenants in common.  2 Apr. 1861 he deeded                                                                           87 for $2300, 24 acres in East Marlborough Twp by John Swayne and other of Joel J., received by him 1 Apr. 1859.  1 Apr. 1873 Benjamin W. Swayne, acting exr of Joel J. Swayne deeded to Henry W. Pusey of East Marlborough Twp for $853 the five acres lime stone quarry lot by the school lot, which Joel's will had not empowered anyone to sell, so Jan. 30, 1873 orphans court had issued directions to Benjamin.      ***************************************************************             189  CHARLES SWAYNE (6), born 8.10.1842, died 7.5.1907, son of 103 Henry Swayne & Ann Parry of Guyencourt, New Castle Co., Del., married 7.17.1867 at West Grove, Chester Co., Pa., Lydia C. Gawthrop, born 11.22. 1843, died Jan. 24, 1921 at the home of her daughter in Lansdowne, Pa., daughter of Thomas Gawthrop & Lydia Conard of West Grove.  This last death is from the Philadelphia North American, which names her daughter as Mrs. John Y. King of 79 S. Wycombe Ave., Lansdowne.  Friends Intelligencer says she died 1.27.1921, member of Philadelphia Mtg, also that the marriage was at the house of her father and Charles was then of West Chester.  The Baily Genealogy says Charles was born at Guyencourt and Lydia near New London, Pa., that after marriage he located in West Chester as principal of the Friends School, that 9.20.1869 he moved to Philadelphia and there in 1871 graduated from University of Pa. with LL. B., that he practiced law there until 1875, then moved to Florida, where in 1889 he was appointed U. S. Dis- trict Judge for the Northern District of Florida.  In 1903 Judge Charles Swayne was a principal in a very rare action, impeachment of a federal judge.  This came to trial in 1904.  From three newspaper clippings, includ- ing his obituary, in which this case is reviewed, it seems he was a Republi- can in a Democratic stronghold, ruled with a firm hand, and had antagonized some lawyers by fines for contempt of court.  These set out to unseat him. In his record they found points of undoubted weakness, which were included in the charges.  No doubt these could be found in the records of almost all judges.  The fact that the two thirds vote by which the Senate acquitted him was strictly a party division seems to show the political complexion of the case.  Three weeks prior to his death Judge Swayne came north to receive treatment for kidney trouble, which had afflicted him several years.  He was at the home of son in law Gardner W. Kimball, from which he was removed to University Hospital, where he died nine days after operation.  There were three children:      347  Henry Gawthrop b 1872 d 1946 m 1899 Theresa Graham McAtee b 1872      348  Lydia Conard b 1874 m 1st 1902 Gardner W.

F. Martin and after marriage farmed till about three years ago, when they moved to West Chester.  Caleb was a favorite with Dean St. neighbors for his neat place, his raising of many flowers and his kind way of receiving callers.  At his corner many awaited trolleys, and he always invited them to sit on the porch while wait- ing.             The 1870 census of East Marlborough Twp is nearly illegible from fading of ink.  However, it appears to list Abba P.
