    Notes:

    The Papers of the Honorable Samuel SWANN give his SWANN Family Genealogy, beginning with his grandparents; and then his father Colonel Thomas SWANN, his five wives and his 14 children.
    Thanks and appreciation to FS Patron DrJimMDPA for spending April 2017 at the Library of Congress to secure this information on the Colonel Thomas SWANN Family of Colonial Virginia. This record was personally written by the Honorable Samuel SWANN (1653-1707), son of Colonel Thomas SWANN and his second wife. The Honorable Samuel SWANN had moved to North Carolina where he served as Collector of His Majesty's Customs at Roanoke [North Carolina]. Samuel SWANN died in 1707 in Perquiman's County/ Albemarle, North Carolina.
    The Papers of the Honorable Samuel SWANN were in the possession of Captain T. A. ASHE of Raleigh, North Carolina, who allowed the papers to be printed and published in The Virginia Historical Magazine, XXVII, 153-156.
    Extract of the Record of the Honorable Samuel SWANN:
    "My grandmother, Judith Swann was born on the 5th day of February 1589, being Wednesday and died on the 16th day of March 1636 in the 47th year of her age and was buried at SWANN's Point [Surry County, Virginia]. My grandfather, William SWANN married again the 1st day of May 1637, and died the last of February in the 52nd year of his age and was buried at SWANN's Point [Surry County, Virginia].





    Notes for William Swann:
    The Swanns are from Kent, England. Wiliam Swann and his wife, Judith, came to Jamestown in 1616 and had a son, Thomas, and then went back to England. William was a stockholder in the Virginia Company and was appointed Royal Customs Collector of Virginia. The Swanns finally settled permanently in Virginia in 1635. William was granted land across from Jamestown in Surry County. He purchased a farm which was Jordan's Point and named it Swann's Point which is still on the maps today. Virginia was going to build a bridge across the James River at this point, but a few relatives persuaded the State to turn Swann's Point into a wildlife reserve. William and Judith are buried there in the family graveyard. Thomas, the eldest son, inherited the land and became a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. Tom's younger brother, Edward, was granted land in St. Mary's Co., MD and moved there in the 1650s. Col. Edward Swann married Susannah Heath and had 10 children. Edward had plots of land all over St Mary's/Charles County, and is presumed to have died after 1666.

    William married Judith GREEN, (Widow Austin) on 16 Apr 1612 in Middlesex, England. Judith (daughter of Richard GREEN and Margery SHOWELL) was born on 5 Feb 1589 in Ratcliffe, Stepney, England; died between 16 Mar 1634 and 1666 in Swann's Point, Surry, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
