            263  JOHN WAGER SWAYNE (6), born Nov. 10, 1834 in Columbus,
Ohio, died Dec. 10, 1902 after long illness in New York City, son of 143
Noah Haynes Swayne & Sarah Ann St. Clair Wager of Columbus, married 1868
Ellen Harris, born 1846, died 1909.  The Dictionary of American Biography
says he was born and died as above, graduated from Yale 1856, losing one
year on account of illness, graduated from Cincinnati Law School 1859, was
admitted to the Ohio bar, began practice in Columbus with his father and
continued until the Civil War.  Aug. 31, 1861 he entered the army as major
in the 43d Ohio Infantry, and Dec. 14 became lieut. col.  Until Feb. 1862
the regiment trained in Ohio.  In the battle of Corinth Oct. 4, 1862 he
showed such distinguished courage in the face of threatened panic that on
Gen. D. S. Stanley's recommendation he received the medal of honor, highest
American decoration for heroism in action.  Oct. 18, 1862 he was made
colonel.  He commanded a brigade or Corps XVI, Army of the Tennessee in the
Atlanta campaign, the march to the sea and the campaign of the Carolinas.
He was in action at Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw and Atlanta.  At Rivers Bridge,
S. C. Feb. 2, 1865 a shell wound caused amputation of the right leg.   In
April he was made brig. gen. of vols., with rank from March 8, 1865.  Later
that year he was selected by Gen. Howard as ass't commissioner in charge of
Freedmen's Bureau operations in Alabama.  Also he was in military command,
and that he might have appropriate rank was in May 1866 appointed major gen.
of vols., commission dated June 20, 1865.  He was mustered out of the volun-
teers Sep. 1, 1867, but meanwhile, July 28, 1866 had been made colonel in
the regular army for the newly organized 45th infantry.  Reduction in 1870
required removal of all officers with any form of physical disability, and
in July he was retired.  He then resumed law in Toledo with John R. Osborn
as partner, and for some years was member of the board of education.   In
1881 he moved to New York, where with John F. Dillon as partner he practiced
until near his death.  This firm was counsel for Associated Press, Western
Union Telegraph Co., Wabash Railway, etc.  Wager was always interested in
philanthropic activities, particularly church and educational work.  As an
independent Republican fighting the regular New York County organization
under the leadership of Lemuel E. Quigg he became widely known.  With William
Brookfield and others he was at the head of the Committee of Fifty Three,
and it was largely through his efforts that the primary law passed the leg-
islature.  Some obituaries conflict with the above dates of birth and death,
placing these Nov. 1, 1834 and Dec. 18, 1902.  There were these five chil-
dren:
     439  Alfred Harris b 1870 d 1837
     440  Noah Haynes b 1871 d 1950 m 1898 Christine Siebeneck b 1874
     441  Wager b 1873 m ab 1899 Wilhelmina Nordeman
     442  Virginia Washington b ab 1877 m Harold Lomas d 1915

            264  CATHERINE SWAYNE (6), died young, daughter of 143 Noah
Haynes Swayne & Sarah Ann St. Clair Wager of Columbus, Ohio, was buried in
Green Lawn Cemetery there.

            265  REBECCA SWAYNE (6), born by 1840, apparently died early,
daughter of 143 Noah Haynes Swayne & Sarah Ann St. Clair Wager of Columbus,
Ohio.  In a bundle of old letters sent by her brother 270 Noah was one to
Rebecca from her father, dated 1840, in which he mentioned her "little sis-
ter Lell".

            266  VIRGINIA SWAYNE (6), died young, daughter of 143 Noah Haynes
Swayne & Sarah Ann St. Clair Wager of Columbus, Ohio, was buried in Green
Lawn Cemetery there.

            267  SALLIE SWAYNE (6), died young, daughter of 143 Noah Haynes
Swayne & Sarah Ann St. Clair Wager of Columbus, Ohio, was buried in Green
Lawn Cemetery there.

            268  MARY LLEWELLYN SWAYNE (6), born by 1840, died Aug. 25, 1913,
daughter of 143 Noah Haynes Swayne & Sarah Ann St. Clair Wager of Columbus,
Ohio, married Edwin Parsons, died 1895, and they lived in New York City.
Rachel Boles Safford, daughter of 416 Rebecca Swayne, says when her children,
born 1897 to 1900, were quite small, she remembers visiting Mrs. Edwin Par-
sons, who was her cousin Lellie, when she lived at the corner of Riverside
Drive and 90th St. in New York.  Probably there were no children.

            269  HENRY STUART SWAYNE (6), born June 2, 1845 at Columbus,
Ohio, died Nov. 25, 1893 at Bloomington, Illinois, son of 143 Noah Haynes
Swayne & Sarah Ann St. Clair Wager of Columbus, married Dec. 22, 1875 Sarah
Worthington Davis, only daughter of Judge David Davis, who for over 20 years
served in the U. S. Supreme Court, of which he was a member at the same time
as Henry's father.  Most of the above, as well as what follows, is in a
clipping from the Bloomington Weekly Pantagraph, sent in a letter 12.15.1893
from 179 William Phillips Swayne to my grandfather 172 Evan Thomas Swayne.
This says Henry died at his residence, 1102 East Jefferson St. after a
week's illness.  About eight years ago while living in Toledo he survived a
severe attack of pneumonia which weakened his lungs.  While in France last
year he was taken with the grip.  Since his return from Europe in August he
had not been well, and in the final week suffered several hemorrhages.   He
graduated from Yale in 1868 and entered the engineering department of the
Chicago & St. Paul Railroad, where his first work was to survey a line in
Wisconsin.  Later he was in the office of the chief engineer in Milwaukee.
He then spent a year of travel in Europe, Egypt and the Holy Land.  On his
return he went into a manufacturing business at Toledo, Ohio.  After marriage
he lived there until 1885, when he moved to Bloomington, where he and his
wife lived in the Davis homestead until the fall of 1886, when their own
residence was completed, where they have lived ever since.  During his eight
years in Bloomington he followed no profession, being of independent means.
He specialized in chemistry, and had a laboratory in the Durley hall block
fitted with the latest and best apparatus for chemical experiments, to which
he devoted much time and money and in which Prof. R. O. Graham was his com-
panion.  He was fond of music, spoke German and French fluently and read
many scientific books in those languages.  He was reared an Episcopalian,
but his wife was Presbyterian, and they attended the latter, but were not
members.  They had given several thousand dollars for the proposed new First
Presbyterian Church and he was a member of the committee of plans for the
building.  His widow married John T. Lillard and in 1921 was living in Bloom-
ington.  No children were mentioned in the Pantagraph obituary, nor by his
brother Noah.

            270  NOAH HAINES SWAYNE (6), born Nov. 30, 1847, died probably
1924, son of 143 Noah Haynes Swayne & Sarah Ann St. Clair Wager of Columbus,
Ohio, married March 16, 1886 Frances Sickles, born Feb. 22, 1852, of St.


106


Louis, Mo., died Feb. 7, 1928.  Great nephew 662 Noah Haynes Swayne III in
giving these dates of death, says Noah's will was drawn Apr. 26, 1922, proved
in Lucas Co., Ohio and his certified copy from the court there in Toledo is
dated Oct. 11, 1924, and that both were probably buried in Woodlawn Cemetery
there.

            After graduation from Yale in 1870 Noah became a lawyer in To-
ledo and in 1917 his letterhead showed law offices there in company with B.
A. Hayes, at 1607 Second National Bank Building.  Soon after this he suf-
fered a severe illness, went to Atlantic City, New Jersey and remained there.
In the summer of 1921 I met him and his wife with his nephew 439 Alfred Har-
ris Swayne there in the Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel, where Noah and his wife
lived in a suite, with a man to take care of his correspondence and serve in
other ways.  He and I had considerable correspondence.  He says he attended
the 50th anniversary of his Yale graduation, that in addition to being lawyer
and banker he was head of a manufacturing firm, built railroads and gave the
ground in Toledo called Swayne Field, for use of the professional baseball
club there.  While funds were being sought in 1921 for publication of De-
scendants of Francis Swayne, and others, he offered to furnish any balance
needed.  The result was he supplied $910 of the total of $1235, which paid
for the 150 copies.  Noah's middle name is here spelled Haines because he
had learned that his father was named for a Virginia circuit rider who fre-
quently held baptismal meetings and was so well liked that many babies were
named for him.  It is true that Virginia family used Haines, also Hains and
Haynes are in meeting records and public records.  Noah's father, nephew
and great nephew all have used Noah Haynes Swayne.

            271  FRANCIS BOND SWAYNE (6), born June 8, 1850 in Columbus,
Ohio, died Sep. 8, 1928 in New York City, son of 143 Noah Haynes Swayne &
Sarah Ann St. Clair Wager of Columbus, married Dec. 29, 1875 Helen E. Young,
died about 1930, daughter of Samuel Young, lawyer and banker of Toledo, Ohio.
After boyhood in Toledo, Francis went east to Hopkins Grammar School in New
Haven, Conn., then entered Yale and graduated A. B. in 1872.  He studied law
in the offices of Waite, Osborn & Swayne (his eldest brother John Wager
Swayne) in Toledo, was admitted to the bar, and with another brother, Noah
Haines Swayne, and R. B. Hayes, son of President Hayes, formed the firm of
Swayne, Swayne & Hayes, specializing in railroad and corporation law.  In
1895 Francis moved to New York and there in partnership with brother John
Wager Swayne became a leading member of the New York bar.  In 1905 he re-
tired and thereafter lived in New York City and at his country place at Fort
Salonga, Long Island.  The Press Association Annual contains much of the
above, with his picture.  He was a prominent Episcopal layman in the New
York diocese.  In 1914 and up to 1921 he wrote seven times concerning com-
pilation of Descendants of Francis Swayne, and others, toward publication
of which he contributed $100.  All his letterheads read Francis B. Swayne,
Counsellor at Law, 2 Rector Street, New York.  The Press Association arti-
cle did not mention children, nor did he.

Henry gave her year of death.  James was a produce dealer in Baltimore.
Births of the six children below are from Vinton.  Those from Henry, who
gives his own 1883, are in every case two years later.  He gives 455 Emma
E. Bell and 456 Thomas G. or L.  Vinton gives 455 Mrs. Elsie Bell and 456

Iowa and worked there on a farm for his uncle 171 Bennett several years.

Uncle Arza but neglected it until too late, it is a guess that Arza lived in

names these two children:
     484  Jesse b ab 1880
     485  Ella m a June and had this daughter:
            1  Freda, prob. at Marengo, Iowa some time before 1948

            314  LUTHER BRANSON SWAYNE (6), twin, born Jan 4, 1858, died in
the early 1900s, son of 171 Bennett Joseph Swayne & Rachel Ann Sill of
Chesterhill, Morgan Co., Ohio and later of Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska, mar-
ried Mary Woods and had one child.  This is from 500 Edith Carrie Swayne
Harvey.  493 Jaquetha Margaret Swayne Baker says 481 Myrtle Eva Swayne Moore
told her Luther was buried at Colby, Thomas Co., Kans. and Myrtle's father


                                                                          115


was his administrator.
     486  A child

            315  LORA EMALINE SWAYNE (6), born March 15, 1860, alive 1946
but died by 1949 in Oregon, daughter of 171 Bennett Joseph Swayne & Rachel
Ann Sill of Chesterhill, Morgan Co., Ohio and later of Missouri, Iowa and
Nebraska, married in Iowa John Atkinson, Adkinson or Atchison, lived for
years in Grinnell, Iowa and had four daughters, of whom the eldest was about
58 or 60 years old in 1948.  This is from the same 493 and 500 as under 314,
of whom Jaquetha gives the names of these daughters:
     1  Lillie
     2  Addie
     3  Libbie
     4  Nora

            316  OLIVER REYNOLDS SWAYNE (6), born June 6, 1862 at Chester-
hill, Morgan Co., Ohio, died Sep. 11, 1941 at Olympia, Thurston Co., Wash.,
son of 171 Bennett Joseph Swayne & Rachel Ann Sill of Chesterhill and later
of Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska, married Nov. 11, 1887 Theresa Ulrich, born
Sep. 15, 1867 at Greenbay, Brown Co., Wis., died June 21, 1951, daughter of
John I. Ulrich & Euphrosina Karcher, both born in Germany and both died at
Elmcreek, Buffalo Co., Nebr.  These data and those for the ten children be-
low are from daughter 493 Jaquetha.  Those from granddaughter 691 Opal Louise
Swayne Gifford, who apparently copied some from Jaquetha, show these differ-
ences, some of which might be right, illustrating the difficulty of getting
accurate information:  Randall for Reynolds; Euphresena Carcher for Euphro-
sina Karcher; Nov. 15 for Nov. 11; Mary Irizilenzic for Mary Anna Gorzelancyk;
Enid Sturevant for Eneid Pearl Sturdevant; Buelah for Beulah; Jenson for Jen-
sen;  Holms for Holmes; 1896 for 1897.  The ten children:
     487  Charles John b 1888 m 1919 Mary Anna Gorzelancyk b 1890
     488  Jack Bush b 1890 m 1st 1912 Florence Logan d 1947, m 2nd 1924 Eneid

ried March 30, 1882 in Nebraska, Charles Gove, born Nov. 4, 1849 at Fort
Leavenworth, Kans., died July 30, 1914 at Kemmerer, wyo.  Nearly all of this

        St., San Francisco, Calif. and had one son, married but no children.

            318  EVAN CALEB SWAYNE (6), born March 18, 1867 in Lyon Co.,
Mo., which probably should be Kans., died July 16, 1948, son of 171 Bennett
Joseph Swayne & Rachel Ann Sill of Chesterhill, Ohio and later of Missouri,
Iowa and Nebraska, married March 25, 1894 at Norcatur, Decatur Co., Kans.,
Etta Luella Vernon, born Dec. 21, 1869 in Washington Co., Ohio, died Dec.
12, 1938 at Oberlin, Kans., daughter of William Vernon & Clara Dew.  This is
from 493 Jaquetha Margaret Swayne Baker and 500 Edith Carrie Swayne Harvey,
who say Evan died at Flagstaff, Ariz. while on a visit and was buried either
at Oberlin or else at Rexford, Kans., where Etta was buried, and name these
three children:
     497  Child b 1895
     498  Venna Mae b 1899 m 1st Lennie E. Workman b 1896, m 2nd
     499  Glenn Everett b 1904 m Alta Helen Halley b 1915

            319  ROSE EMMA SWAYNE (6), born Aug. 31, 1872 at Linnie, Mo.,

& Fannie Pittman of Chesterhill, Morgan Co., Ohio and later of Missouri,
Iowa and Nebraska, married Dec. 26, 1887 or Dec. 25, 1888, John Henry Else,
born March 24, 1866 in Illinois, died Dec. 21, 1929.  This is from 500 Edith
Carrie Swayne Harvey, Pearl Dorothy Snell Swayne, wife of 528 Joseph Benja-
min Swayne and 691 Opal Louise Swayne Gifford, who among them indicate these
three children:
     1  Child died an infant
     2  Edward Bennett b Sep. 13, 1890 at Elmcreek, Nebr., m Apr. 26, 1911
        at Kearney, Nebr., Emma Maas, daughter of August Maas & Emma.  These
        three sons were all born at Elmcreek:
            1  Warren b 1915 m 1952 Doris of Kansas.  One daughter:
                    1  Rosalie Jannette b 1953
            2  Everett b 1917 m Arline Knoble, daughter of Andrew Knoble &
               Anna.  No children.
            3  Delmer b June 7, 1919 m 1948 Lila of Nebraska.  Two sons:

            320  OREN B. SWAYNE (6), born Sep. 26, 1873, died Feb. 6, 1949
at Tulare, Calif., son of 171 Bennett Joseph Swayne & Fannie Pittman of


                                                                          117


Chesterhill, Morgan Co., Ohio and later of Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska,
married Aug. 26, 1901 at Beaver City, Nebr., 482 Flora Clarrissa Swayne,
born May 8, 1881 at Grinnell, Iowa, daughter of her husband's half brother
310 Eli Sill Swayne & Elizabeth Vernon.  The wife, known as Clara, says Oren
was born 1874.  However, the bible record seems to be 1873, as given by sev-
eral near relatives.  His death is from 494 Mary Katherine Swayne Vasbinder
and the wife of 508 Henry Franklin Swayne.  His place of birth is given as
Linear, Mo., suspiciously like Linnie, Mo., where his sister Rose Emma was
said to have been born.  Neither of these is indexed in Rand McNally's World
Atlas for 1951, which lists towns with 1000 or more population, but on the
map there is Lynne, a little south of Kansas City and near the Kansas bor-
der, not in the index either.  This small town may be both the others.  The
eldest of these seven children says the first was born at Overton, Dawson
Co., the next three at Elm Creek, Buffalo Co., the last three at Overton,
all in Nebraska.  Oren & Clara were living at Tulare by 1948.

Oct. 12, 1876 in Apanuch Co., Iowa, daughter of 171 Bennett Joseph Swayne &
Fannie Pittman of Chesterhill, Morgan Co., Ohio and later of Missouri, Iowa
and Nebraska.  Appanoose Co. is the nearest to this sound in Iowa.

            322  THOMAS PITTMAN SWAYNE (6), born Dec. 3, 1876, died Aug. 17,
1921, son of 171 Bennett Joseph Swayne & Fannie Pittman of Chesterhill, Mor-

1896 Minnie Florence Moore, born Aug. 30, 1875 in Illinois, died June 6,
1913 at Brewster, Thomas Co., Kans. and buried there, daughter of John Moore.
This is from granddaughter 691 Opal Louise Swayne Gifford, who says Thomas
was born in Iowa, died at Colby, Kans. and all eight of the children were
born at Rexford, Thomas Co., Kans.  However, the wife of the second child
508 Henry Franklin Swayne says the first five were born in Illinois, and
specifies Carlock, Ill. for all but Eli, and the last three were born at
Oberlin, Decatur Co., Kans.

man Co., Mo., both died at Elm Creek in Buffalo Co., Nebr., and of the eleven
children the 1st was born at Carlock, the 2nd at Congerville, Ill., the next
eight at Overton and the last one at Elm Creek.  However, the 9th and 10th

Kintz, born Nov. 17, 1878 at Canton, Ill., alive 1946 in Bloomington at the

                           SEVENTH  GENERATION

     ***************************************************************

            327  EDWARD SWAYNE (7), born 6.20.1853, died March 19, 1929,
son of 172 Evan Thomas Swayne & Sarah Wayne Pusey of London Grove Twp and
later of Kennett Square, both in Chester Co., Pa., married 1st 4.30.1884 by
Friends ceremony at her parents' home, Mary Dent Walton, born 3.29.1863,
died 5.6.1913, daughter of William Walton & Elizabeth Palmer of Highland
Twp, married 2nd Nov. 10, 1923 in Atlantic City, N. J., Pauline Christine
Wilber, born 1884, daughter of Malcolm E. Wilber & Mary E. Barry.  Chris-
tine, as she was called, had been divorced from Dr. Robbins, by whom she
had one daughter Elizabeth, born about 1914, and had taught school in At-
lantic City.  Later, for a short time before and after father's death, she
taught in the Friends School on High Street in West Chester, where they had
lived in a rented apartment at the SW corner of High and Miner Streets for
a few years before he died of pneumonia in Chester Co. Hospital.  Three
years earlier he had survived an attack of the same.  The 1st wife died in
West Chester of cancer, having been bedridden or nearly so all the years I
can remember her.

                 Father was a florist under glass, first in Kennett Square,
later in East Bradford Twp three miles west from West Chester, where he
finally gave up the greenhouse to concentrate on growing peonies, first on
his own small place, then on rented tracts just west of the West Chester
borough line.  In 1909 he was appointed deputy by Chester Co. Prothonotary-
elect Frank P. Darlington, and served four years in that office in addition
to carrying on his own business.  His beautiful Spencerian writing remains
abundantly in records of the courts.  Out of the courthouse badinage of
that time resulted a remarkable race in June 1914 in which father, a slight
but tough 125 pounder and Harris L. Sproat, district attorney, an athletic
fellow aged 37 years, but weighing about 225 pounds, ran and walked from
Pottstown to West Chester, about 25 miles.  Father finished within four and
a half hours and Sproat two hours later.  In October of the same year, his
62nd, father planned a walk from the shack on his peony ground at West
Chester, to George School, where I then lived and taught, all in one day.
The previous evening I went to West Chester to accompany him.  We made a
start before sunrise, went via Philadelphia, in Market Street and out Broad
Street, all hard city pavement, and some hours after sunset, having missed
a turn, found ourselves at Furlong, Bucks Co., having walked about 47 miles.
At that time a trolley ran past that point, so we used it to get to George
School.  Both were walking next morning, with blisters, but his joints were
in better condition than mine.  Several times during the ten years he was
without a wife, having no business to keep him at home, father set out by
himself on walks of a few days or several weeks, going through spring mud
down into Shenandoah Valley, through early winter snow north into Canada,
and various other places.  The only other time I had the privilege of join-
ing him we walked from George School to Buck Hill Falls in three days.  The


120


summer before his death he and I as partners engaged in a hard match of
tennis doubles lasting about two hours.

                9 May 1902 Edward Swayne of East Bradford Twp & wife Mary W.
deeded to Sarah W. Swayne for $1600 two lots on West State St., Kennett
Square, from Sidney Passmore 98' to Joseph C. Chambers, 300' N to S side of
Linden St., 25561 sq. ft. received by him in two tracts, 1st May 30, 1879
from Evan T. Swayne & wife Sarah W., 2nd Apr. 4, 1895 from Sarah W. Swayne.
5 May 1911 they deeded two lots on Lincoln Ave., Kennett Square for one
dollar each etc., each 50' front and running back to Spruce Alley, each 9355
sq. ft., received 19 Sep. 1907 in division of his mother's estate.  6 June
1915 Edward Swayne widower of East Bradford Twp deeded for $1100 a messuage
and one acre 3 roods 34 pch there received 17 Aug. 1896 for $1100.  9 July
1918 Edward Swayne of Kennett Square deeded for one dollar etc. (there was
one dollar in stamps on the deed) 10833 sq. ft. there, 58' front on Lincoln
Ave. and back to Spruce Alley, received 19 Sep. 1907 in division of his
mother's estate.

                This was the only Swayne recorded in the county Birth Reg-
ister during the few years after 1850 that book was in use.  His certificate
was signed by Caleb Swayne M. D., his uncle.  Father left many short poems.
Here is one, which he read at the Bayard Taylor Memorial meeting in Kennett
Square in 1879:
                      On the margin of the Spree
                      Rests his body, is it he?
                      Is it all? Or only part?
                      Questions still my doubting heart.
                      Traveller!  In what realm, elate,
                      Dost thou read the book of fate?
                      Poet!  In what finer mood
                      Singest thou infinitude?
                      Dost thou know the path we tend
                      The beginning and the end?
                      Backward through the twilight past
                      What evolved us from the vast,
                      Forward, to what things afar,
                      We shall mount from star to star.
                      Canst thou see beyond the brink
                      What we faintly dare to think?
                      Though our thoughts are wrung with pain
                      Yet we question but in vain.
                      Still no sound the silence breaks,
                      Not to us the dead awakes.
                      Ah too fine thy voice has grown,
                      Softened to celestial tone.
                      Say, oh silent river Spree!
                      Is the secret hid in thee?
                      Alps that he so long has loved!
                      Are you not with pity moved?
                      Grandly swathed in rolling clouds,
                      Do ye know the hand that shrouds?
                      Sea!  that bore him from our sight,
                      Golden crowned with sunshine bright,


                                                                          121


                     Why does purple sunrise crest
                     Many hued thy rosy breast?
                     Night that watched him on his way,
                     Calm vicegerent of the day,
                     Why is beauty through each hour
                     Filtered in a silver shower?
                     Not from him, and not from these,
                     Come the souls deep melodies,
                     From within and not above,
                     Comes the answer GOD IS LOVE.

       The following poem, read by father at the Centennial Celebration at
Kennett Meeting House Sep. 12, 1914, while part tradition and part imagina-
tion, tells of the romance of 7 Sarah Swayne of the second generation, and
the very masterful descriptions of bird songs show the author's lifelong
ornithological interest:

                            AN OLD ROMANCE

'Mid the Berkshire hills of England, full two hundred years ago,
Robert Lamborn, young and comely, paced unrestful to and fro.
Downward from melodious spirals came the lark's unheeded tale;
As the evening shadows lengthened sang unheard the nightingale.
Nothing touched his troubled spirit, nothing soothed his fierce unrest,
Like the dash of ocean billows and the beckoning of the West.
Morning came, and coming, found him on a westward ship afloat,
And the rhythmic roar of breakers struck his fundamental note.
Thenceforth a diviner music rolled in splendor from his tongue;
Walked he with the dauntless courage of the undefeated young.
From each night with cool baptism rose he chastened, newly born;
In his heart the perfect woman, at his back the sun of morn.
Every night the lovely vision time, he felt, could but defer;
Every day a new horizon filled with rosy thoughts of her.
So each day his faith upheld him till the voyage was passed, and then
Landed he, forlorn and friendless, in the city loved of Penn.

       Here amid smooth-shaven Quakers, he had loved in other days,
       Strode wild hunters, supple Indians, with strange, unfamiliar ways.
       Wandering thus in aimless fashion, clothing soiled and money scant,
       Saw he a familiar figure, Francis Swayne, the emigrant.
       Very tall and straight was Francis, very mild of eye and tongue;
       Iron of mouth and jaw, but always very gracious to the young.
       Norse of blood and frame, but haply the sweet truths of Fox's page
       Cooled the hot blood of the Vikings, calmed the "wild Berserker rage."
       So his turbulent Norse spirit spent itself in ways of peace;
       On the scythe, the fork, the cradle, his strong nature found release.
       Many tales are still remembered and retold in time of need,
       Of his skill and his endurance, of his prowess and his speed.
       When the young men would foregather in the Springtime or the Fall,
       For their wrestling, jumping, running, Francis would surpass them all.
       And then, setting up a rawhide that just touched his flaxen hair,
       Take a few quick steps and clear it, with an inch or two to spare.
       When the supple, sinewy Indians of the Lenni-Lenape
       Held their sports, a guest was Francis, and a guest of high degree.


122


       Every year new runners gathered, but the sports would always end
       With a badly beaten Indian and a new admiring friend.

So when Robert met with Francis, quickly came these words of cheer
(As the old tradition gives them),  "Well, well, Bob, what brought thee here?"
Simple were the words and friendly, yet an energy sublime
Of occasion has preserved them through two hundred years of time.
Did the old man guess his secret?  Who can say?  but Robert's eye
Fell, he quickly thought within him, 'tis the time to do or die.

       So he told the simple story, how without a thought of gain,
       Some for love of Francis, Jr., more for love of Sarah Swayne,
       He had left his English kinsmen and his ancient English home,
       To pursue a young man's fancy o'er three thousand miles of foam.
       Francis listened without comment, very kindly was his eye,
       As he said, "Come breakfast with me, Robert, we will ride and tie."
       So they rode and tied that morning fresh with spring and bright with flowers,
       Strung with bird notes from each thicket through the happy, happy hours.
       Never birds sang so for Robert, never thrush or nightingale,
       In the hedges of old England told him half so sweet a tale
       As the little brown song sparrow, as the thrasher in the hedge,
       As the cardinal afar off, as the phoebe by the hedge;
       As the bob white on the hilltop whistling like a happy boy,
       So distinct and clear and certain, Robert answered him for joy.
       Near the streams and in the shadows, singing o'er and o'er again,
       Loud, reverberant, compelling, called the Carolina wren;
       In the Brandywine's deep meadows, rich with cowslips blue and pink,
       As if one bird were a dozen, bubbled o'er the bobolink.
       Overhead in semicircles, music sweet as ever heard,
       Came the buoyant, fine, ecstatic flight song of the overbird.
       As the evening shadows lengthened and the pathway grew more dim,
       Through the tranquil aisles the wood thrush sang serene his sylvan hymn.
       When they reached his home, said Francis, "Robert, thou mayst briefly stay
       Underneath these spreading branches; I will go prepare the way."
       "Sarah, I have left a package under yonder tree," he said;
       "Will thee fetch it?"  "Gladly, father, I will fetch it," said the maid.
       Out into the twilight tripping, met she there a figure tall,
       The first startled word was Robert!  the next Sarah!  that was all.
       Did she fetch the package?  Rather, without trouble, all the men
       To her own admiring father thought her very fetching then.
       As she stepped into the firelight, linked with Robert arm in arm,
       Scarce a savage in the forest would have done the maiden harm.
       White and red and moist she stood there, blue eyes, golden hair a store,
       Legacies of Danish forebears from the town of Elsinore,
       And beneath the mouth's rich ripeness, full, indeed, but not too much,
       The fair chin was cleft divinely, nature's last artistic touch.
       If the red flamed more than common 'twas no signal of distress;
       Doomed were they to double trouble and to double happiness.
       If beyond the last horizon there is sweeter love than this,
       Then shall Heaven indeed be Heaven, bliss indeed be perfect bliss.
                                                       EDWARD SWAYNE


                                                                          123


            There were these three children, all by the first wife:
     539  Norman Walton b 1885 m 1917 Mabel Amelia Werner b 1893
     540  Edith Neal b 1887 d 1919 not married
     541  Donald McFarlan b 1897 m 1930 Elizabeth Mary McCue b 1905

            328  LAURA PUSEY SWAYNE (7), born 2.23.1857, died 12.5.1928,
daughter of 172 Evan Thomas Swayne & Sarah Wayne Pusey of London Grove Twp
and later of Kennett Square, both in Chester Co., Pa., was not married.
After her mother's death Laura had a house built well up the hill on the
east side of Garfield St. in Kennett Square wherein she lived with her aunt
176 Jane T. Swayne Barnard until the death of the latter, after which she
rented her house to a tenant and lived with her sister one block to the west.
She suffered for years from arthritis, which brought her to a very crippled
state at the end.  She was buried in Union Hill Cemetery north of Kennett
Square in the lot with her parents.  The West Chester Daily Local News says
she was a member of State St. Mtg, long active in New Century Club and
W. C. T. U., of which she was treasurer, long accompanist and music teacher.
2 July 1909 Laura P. Swayne of Kennett Square deeded for $1600, 19274 sq.
ft. there on Garfield St. and West Linden Ave., back to Pine Alley, part of
that received 29 March 1867 by Evan T. Swayne who willed it to wife Sarah W.
Swayne and in accord with her will the heirs 19 Sep. 1907 granted this part
to Laura.  Sep. (no day) 1909 she deeded for $1000 13198 sq. ft. on Garfield
St. N of Charles S. Swayne's greenhouse lot, back to Spruce Alley, received
with the above lot.  After Laura's death her sister as exr sold her house
for $12000.

            329  ANNA BELLE SWAYNE (7), born 3.28.1864, died Feb. 4, 1931,
daughter of 172 Evan Thomas Swayne & Sarah Wayne Pusey of London Grove Twp
and later of Kennett Square, both in Chester Co., Pa., married 10.28.1907 in
Kennett Square by Friends ceremony Albert Taylor Jackson, born 9.6.1870,
died Dec. 7, 1930, son of Larkin Jackson & Sue Taylor of there.  Before mar-
riage she was a professional photographer.  She was commissioned from Har-
risburg to make the several hundred pictures that were exhibited in the
Pennsylvania building at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, for which she
received from the fair managers a diploma of honorable mention.  In 1907 she
had a house built on her land in Kennett Square on Washington St. high on
the hill in the northwestern part of the borough.  At this time, 11 Apr.
1907 she deeded for $750 a lot 75' front on Garfield St., 13875 sq. ft., re-
ceived by her 4 Nov. 1893 from Evan T. Swayne & wife Sarah W.  This was just
south of her mother's home lot, then about to be sold by the heirs.  William
L. Lang bought both, and his family lived there many years after.  In her
house, known as The Bungalo, both lived until their deaths.  They were buried
in her parents' lot in Union Hill Cemetery, just north of Kennett Square.
Albert had two trades, printer and painter, but for much of his life was not
able to work steadily.  Anna Belle did some oil painting and some business
in antiques.  She supported herself mostly after marriage by collecting the
rents from three small double houses belonging to her mother's estate, which
her father had built on Cedar St. in 1889, and which Anna Belle's brothers
and sister by common consent allowed her to use for that purpose.  She and
Albert for some years before their deaths suffered from heart trouble and
kept a stimulant constantly at hand.  There were no children.

            330  CHARLES SUMNER SWAYNE (7), born 10.27.1870, died March 29,
1950, son of 172 Evan Thomas Swayne & Sarah Wayne Pusey of London Grove Twp


124


and later of Kennett Square, both in Chester Co., Pa., married 1st 11.26.1912
at her parents' home in Kennett Square by Rev. V. V. Nicholas, Florence Helen
Lamborn, born 10.8.1883, died 8.4.1913, daughter of Francis Lamborn & Eliza
Roney, married 2nd Oct. 7, 1916 Daisy Elizabeth Bird of Toronto, Canada, born
June 2, 1883 in Colchester, Essex, England, daughter of William Henry Bird &
Agnes Ann Jennings of Kent.  Florence died in Chester Co. Hospital and serv-
ices were at the home of her father in Kennett Square.  Charles died in the
Delaware Co. house he had just finished building.  His funeral was in Kennett
Square just across State St. from the large building which had been his first
home.  Both were buried in Union Hill Cemetery with his parents and their
other children.

            His versatility is well shown by this brief summary for which I
asked Uncle Charles a few years before his death:  "Proficient in all around
athletics, having won at college the trophy in the winter competition open
to the college, during the second consecutive year, 1891, of Swarthmore's
defeat of the University of Pennsylvania in the annual spring sports at
Franklin Field.  He was keenly interested in art, music and literature, did
modeling, wrote much verse, some stories and a play, and sang songs of grand
and comic opera, oratorio, and a list of 180 ballads and folk songs, using
his guitar as accompaniment for the latter, as lately as 1945."

            Before marriage Charles was florist and mushroom grower in Ken-
nett Square on his Garfield St. land.  About 1911 he moved to Toronto, where
he founded a business of landscaping and contracting, living on a place he
owned and improved at 89 Lawton Blvd.  Within about ten years of his death
he moved back to Pennsylvania and carried on the same business on a small
tract he had bought at the SE corner of State Road and Springfield Road in
Delaware Co.  During these last years he was a regular exhibitor in the
Philadelphia spring flower show at the Commercial Museum, some years with
two exhibits.  11 Oct. 1912 he deeded for $1869 to J. Bancroft Swayne 8860
sq. ft. at West Linden and Garfield Sts. in Kennett Square, running back to
Spruce Alley, received 4 Nov. 1893 by Charles from Evan T. Swayne & wife
Sarah W.  29 May 1918 he with wife Daisy Elizabeth deeded for $1900 a lot of
25561 sq. ft. on West State St. in the same borough, by Sidney Passmore and
Joseph C. Chambers, the same Edward Swayne & wife Mary W. had deeded 9 May
1902 to Sarah W. Swayne and 19 Sep. 1907 her heirs in division granted it to
Charles.

            Although he had made an addition to the dwelling on the Delaware
Co. property when purchased, Charles still wanted something better, and dur-
ing his last few years built a house on the State Road front, largely with
his own hands.  Said he to me, "Norman, I give myself three years to make a
house in which I can live with dignity and die comfortably".  He made it.
Before dying in it, he had lived in it a few months, much of the time in bed
from a second break of the left femur.  A few years previously he had fallen
from his garage roof and sustained the first break.  This healed with a metal
pin in it.  The second came a few inches further down the thigh by a fall
from a tree he was pruning for a customer.  This healed too, then he died
soon after, suddenly and unexpectedly.  Just before his death State Road was
widened, taking most of the front lawn, also raised so car riders looked
down into the first floor window.  His widow, known as Betty, sold it.


                                                                          125


              In connection with his writing of verse, Charles attended the
Poets Assembly, wherein poets of the Philadelphia area suffered the reading
of offerings by authors, then made constructive criticisms toward improve-
ments.  He left more than 100 short poems, of which this is an example:

                          THE WARDEN AND THE LOONS

                Hail! Fellow voyager from the land of flowers!
                  Betimes dost quit thy fragrant winter home
                Of fruiting orange-groves and tropic bowers
                  And hither northward roam
                Back to thy lake-land haunt of pines and rocks
                Braving the storms that mark the equinox.

                Neath March's waning moon thy heavy flight,
                  And when the surface of the ice was wet
                With the first thaw, just past the "noon of night"
                  I heard my clarionette
                Weird, wavering, flute-like, lyric and legato
                F and B flat -- then in alarmed staccato.

                Here from my casement I can see thy keel
                  Racing the vanguard waves of Spring's first gust
                Swiftly from Jove's sharp stroke and thunder-peal
                  Thy anxious prow is thrust,
                And as the welkin's wild alarms abate
                I hear thee calling, calling to thy mate.

                On comes the rain in gusty torrents flung
                  And yet her answering note comes not afar.
                Why didst thou venture forth?  Thou couldst have clung
                  A month in southern bar
                And fished thy fill in some protected quays
                Of the Bahamas or the Caribbees.

                I hear thee yet, but faintly now it seems
                  And from the same point ever and anon. --
                Ah! The swift gust was heavy and thy dreams
                  Are, for the present, gone,
                For well I know thou'rt fallen like a log
                On the unmelted bosom of old "Scugog".

                Ah! Hark! Now sounds the distant flute of her
                  That is thy mate, on mighty wings she rides
                Above the storm.  -- Across the moon a blur, --
                  She calls and on she glides
                And here thou impotent to rise again
                As stranded, earth--encircled hydroplane.

                That soft, soft note she flings, how far it flies!
                  F, F, then soft, prolonged B flat her call
                She hears thy cry, she wheels, she drops, she lies
                  A tumbled, laughing ball.
                As who would say -- "If storm thou canst not ride
                Dear Mate, then here with thee will I abide".

                Here in the dawn I found them, huddled, spent,
                  Fatigued and hungry.  Docile in my arms
                We sought the channel and their element
                  Far from the night's alarms. ------

                Heavenly Warden, when to nest I roam
                Guard thou the flight -- and lead the brood
                                                  Safe Home.

               These two daughters were by the 2nd wife:
       542  Florence Elizabeth b 1917 m 1941 Jack Jackman b ab 1911
       543  Althea Joy b 1921 m 1941 Keith Busby b ab 1915

               331  WILLIAM AMBROSE SWAYNE (7), born 1862, died Sep. 22,
1946 aged 84, son of 179 William Phillips Swayne & Georgeanna H. Cram of
Philadelphia, Pa., was not married.  As early as 1918 he was an inmate of
the state hospital for the insane at Norristown.  Martha Colson Lippincott
Davis, grand daughter of 177 Philena P. Swayne Lippincott, says she went to
that hospital and sat with William that day until he died, that services at
Oliver Bair's on Chestnut St., Philadelphia were attended by five persons,
that 330 Charles Sumner Swayne recited there "Crossing the Bar" and sang at
the grave in West Laurel Hill Cemetery.

               332  WILLIAM SWAYNE (7), born 9.16.1851, died July 26, 1950
aged almost 99, son of 184 Benjamin W. Swayne & Margaret B. Bancroft of
London Grove Twp, Chester Co., Pa., married 1st 1876 Mary Anna Thompson,
born probably about March 1855, died 12.3.1886 of pneumonia, daughter of Eli
Thompson & 218 Deborah D. Swayne of London Grove Twp, married 2nd Oct. 10,

delphia, Adaline Husbands McFarlan, born Oct. 4, 1864 at Doe Run, died Apr.
6, 1850, daughter of Alfred H. McFarlan & Sidney P. Lang of Kennett Square.
Friends Intelligencer, in giving the death of Mary Anna as above, says she
was aged 31 yr 9 mo, and the 1880 census gives her age as 25.  Her first
child was born late in 1877.  While the Spencer Family gives her birth 1853
and her marriage 1875, it seems likely the years 1855 and 1876 are correct,
the latter being given by the family.  Addie, as the 2nd wife was called,
preferred the spelling McFarland.  However, public records and other evi-
dence found, save one obituary, lack the d.

               The will of William Swayne of Kennett Square, drawn 2 March
1945, proved 1 Aug. 1950, died July 26, 1950, left all to J. Bancroft Swayne
exr in trust, to pay income to wife Addie H. for life, then $100 each to
grandsons William H. Swayne and William Swayne Hellyer, residue in five
equal shares to children J. Bancroft, Thompson E., Lawrence B., Charlotte R.
Hellyer and children of deceased daughter Margaret B. Palmer, namely Benja-
min, Copeland and Katherine.  21 Apr. 1903 William Swayne & wife Addie H.
deeded to J. Bancroft Swayne for one dollar 13384 sq. ft. in Kennett Square
by William's land received 31 March 1882 and 1 May 1886 by him.  The 1880
census has in New Garden Twp William Swayne M 29 Farmer with Mary Anna
Swayne wife F 25 Housekeeper.

               Obituaries for William in Kennett News & Advertiser with
shorter ones in Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Public Ledger, and
one for Adaline in West Chester Daily Local News show that William moved to
Kennett Square about 1880, having been born near London Grove, where he
went to school, and later attended Eaton Academy in Kennett Square, that he
started his florist business at about that time, and was one of the first to
grow mushrooms, which he did in 1882 under his greenhouse benches.  He was
a Friend.  In 1940 he sold his business and retired.  In 1944 he and Addie
moved from their home on Marshall St. to the Western Quarter Friends Board-
ing Home in Kennett Square, which became their last home.  He was past mas-
ter and charter member of London Grove Grange, member of Kennett Lodge No.
475 F. & A. M., Kennett Royal Arch Chapter No. 275, Brandywine Commandery
No. 88, Knights Templar, West Chester. Lulu Temple, Order of Mystic Shrine

Kennett Square Golf & Country Club, where he played golf until he was 90.
He attributed his long life and good health to fishing.  Buried in Union
Hill Cemetery, he left 13 living grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.
The same News & Advertiser has a photograph of William in 1947, 96 years
old, receiving a check for the face value of a life insurance policy in
force 51 years, he having outlived the policy.

Co., Pa., was not married. West Chester Daily Local News has the death as
above aged 28 of T. Martin Swayne son of Thomas Martin Swayne of Chester
Heights, where he lived.  It says he died of pneumonia, interment Cumberland
Cemetery.  Since 368 Thomas had a grandfather named Thomas Martin, but his
father has not been found elsewhere with Martin or anything else for a mid-
dle name, this is supposed to be an error.

X ray specialist, yachtsman who maintained boats at Essington and Atlantic
City, veteran of Spanish-American and World Wars, long major in the First
Regiment, was in his army uniform when he collapsed and died at 18th and
Girard Ave. about eight in the evening; that Dr. E. J. Donnelly of 1721 Gir-
ard Ave., friend and associate, was summoned but could not get him to nearby
St. Joseph's Hospital before he died; that he was interred in Chelton Hills
Cemetery; that in recent years he had lived in Atlantic City, where he had
an office at 3825 Boardwalk as well as one in Philadelphia at 1726 West Gir-

Broad and Callowhill Sts., where he was headed when he collapsed; that he
graduated 1905 from the old Medico-Chirurgical Hospital, had practiced in

Heber wrote in 1921 from the same address under the letterhead William H.

in Atlantic City, N. J.  In 1920 they were running the Phillips House there.
In three nice long letters about then Ida gave much information about her
brothers, sisters and ancestors.  She recalled attendance at grandfather's
school, Eaton Institute in Kennett Square, where she had known my father,
aunts and uncle.  Since she died before our correspondence was completed,
the last letter was from her husband, also a very cordial, friendly person.
Mary, 3rd wife of Ida's brother Howard, says Franklin married 2nd a Phila-
delphia woman and died as above in Atlantic City.  There were no children.

1902, daughter of Henry Dana & Sarah Watson of Boston, married 3rd a wife who
survived.  The 1st marriage is from Philadelphia Public Ledger.  The same
paper and Friends Intelligencer have her death, and the former says funeral
from residence of husband, 2nd day, NE corner 41st & Powelton Ave.  Both call
her Effie L.  Data for the 2nd wife are probably from the Dana Genealogy.
Sister Ida says in 1916 Walter was a chemist in Philadelphia and had no chil-
dren living.  Mary, 3rd wife of brother Howard, gives Walter's death, says
an oil lamp exploded in the kitchen, he grabbed it and was burned so that he
died after three months in the hospital, that Howard saw him there with a
woman who claimed to be his 3rd wife, that Howard didn't care much for her,
that Walter lived in Massachusetts, had a big house like a castle, but no
children except possibly one who died at birth or soon after.

2nd one whose name was forgotten, married 3rd Walter Carroll, chiropodist of

Ohio, died 6.12.1920 at Coronado Beach, Cal., son of 242 Elias Hicks Swayne
& Mahala Merritt Barrett of Richmond, Ind., married 4.29.1891 Delia Hard-
castle, who survived him.  The date of death above is that in the New York
Times account of his will and records of Whitewater Mtg, which say buried in
Earlham Cemetery.  George was a dealer in rugs and carpets.  His letters in
1914 and 1919 showed New York City addresses 212 Fifth Ave. and 1134 Broad-
way at 26th St., also Chicago salesroom Wabash Ave. & Madison St. in the Hey-
worth Bldg.  He then lived at Pelham Manor.

             The New York Times says he left $125000 to widow of brother
Harry Brown Swayne, who lives at Pelham Manor, $100000 to brother S. Edward
Swayne and $25000 to Julia Swayne Shirks, both of Richmond, Ind.  The residue
income was to be paid to George's widow for life, but the trustees may pay
her $150000 and the trust shall cease, the balance, if any, to be divided be-
tween the two brothers.  If the widow chooses the life estate the $150000 is
to be divided at her death among brothers in law Frank L. Hardcastle of Chi-
cago, Calvin C. Hardcastle of St. Louis and sister in law Frances Lillian
Hardcastle of St. Louis, the balance, if any, to go to the two brothers.

             The Friends Intelligencer obituary says George died June 23,
1920, that his childhood and youth were spent in Richmond, but he did not
return there except to be buried, that he was member of North A St. Mtg there
and the funeral was there from the home of brother S. E. Swayne.  It sums up
his business career, which began as salesman for John Shillito Co. of Cin-
cinnati, Ohio, then in 1880 he went to Indianapolis with A. L. Wright & Co.
and in four years was made manager and buyer of the carpet department, in
1885 was with Judson & Co., a carpet store in Chicago, Dec. 1886 was with

made many trips to Japan and China to purchase goods, in 1898 went into busi-
ness for himself as selling agent for various mills.  He retired Jan. 1,
1920.  During the hard times following the panic of 1907 he lived at the old
Hoffman House in New York City, and time after time walked through Madison
Square Park on cold winter nights rounding up the park bench down and outers
and giving them money for lodging and breakfast.  There were no children.

said her elder son was an aviator, then in France, and her younger one had
volunteered in the army.  Also she sent several names and dates copied from

Josephine P. Latham, born 2.29.1860, alive in 1927 at 1127 Broadway, Boulder,
Colo.  Some of this is from the Steer Genealogy, which says James was born
at Lexington, Josephine at Alexandria, Va.  James was a member of the Texas
legislature in the early nineties and later a judge in the District Court.
He was first president of the Texas Co. and later vice president and director
of the Virginia Co., both oil corporations.  Once while in Philadelphia on
his way home from New York City he phoned me and recommended the stock of the
latter.  418 George Barrett Swayne wrote he had met James in New York and was
convinced he knew all about the Swayne Genealogy clear back to the beginning
in this country.  It was one of my frequent disappointments to learn that
this was a poor guess by a competent business man.  James did send some data
and enclosed a picture of himself, a smooth shaven, rather hard featured man
with piercing eyes.  He may have died about 1921 or 1922, for his wife, who
wrote several times, began Jan. 12, 1923 with a card to James from me she
had discovered a few weeks before among her husband's papers.  She wanted to
know whether it was too late to get a Swayne Genealogy for her daughter. Af-
ter I had presented one to her daughter, Josephine reciprocated with her own
book, The Story of Concord, which resulted from her stay of a year in that
town in Massachusetts, home of so many well known authors.  Josephine appar-
ently was living with her daughter, an instructor in chemistry in the Uni-
versity of Colorado.

and 1922, first ordering three copies of the Descendants of Francis Swayne,
and others, second to express his interest and approval in these and the
accompanying charts.  Both times his letter head was First National Bank of
Paducah, Tex.  As his birth was printed 1872 and he approved, that is prob-
ably right, although the Steer Genealogy has it 12.12.1871.  430 James Wil-
liam Swayne, who sent the 1872 date, says he has accidentally run across
this John T. Swayne, his first cousin, who is a very prosperous man, making
money, has given his children the benefits of high education and they are

Pittsburgh, Pa., daughter of Joseph G. Siebeneck & Estelle King.   In 1916
they lived in Ardmore, Pa., where I met them and their seven years old son,
called Jaffy, for Japhet son of Noah.  It was a surprise when Noah drove in
and stopped by his home that he managed the car with one arm.   It was all
he had.  Later they lived at West Chester, Pa., then again at Ardmore, where
they were in 1922.   At that time Noah wrote under the letterhead Swayne &
