    Notes:

    Charles County SWANN family. Edward SWANN was granted 1200 acres for EAGLESTON plantation in 1664. He married Susannah HEATH and had five recorded children. Early associated Charles County families are: AMERY, BEALL, BRISCOE, BURCH, COATES, COMPTON, COTRELL, COVINGTON, DENT, DYSON, HATCH, HOLLIDAY, HOWARD, KING, MADDOX, MAGRUDER, NAYLOR, NORRIS, SCOTT, SWANN, THORNE, TURNER, WILSON and many more.

    Our Swann family begins with Edward Swann and Susannah Heath who emigrated (at different times) from England and settled in the mid-1600s in Charles County, Maryland. Edward is thought to have been born about 1630 and we are still researching to determine where.

    Edward Swann arrived in Maryland before March 1653* and married Susannah Heath, possibly by 1658. It is usually thought that Edward was born before 1630 in Kent County, England. He died about 26 May 1708 at Eagleton, Charles County, Maryland. He married Susannah Heath daughter of William Heath b~1605 and Anne MNU (maiden name unknown)) about 1660 in Charles County, Maryland. Susannah was born in Jan 1629/30 in Surrey County, England and baptized 25 February 1630 at St. Thomas Parish Southwark, Surrey County. She died about 1693 at Eagleton Plantation, Charles County, Maryland. It has been claimed that there are no probate records for Edward Swan and that he died ~1678** in St. Mary's County, Maryland.(I think not.)

    [Sources: (1) Maryland Prerogative Court, Inventories & Accounts, Liber 2, pp. 153, 156, and 202, and Liber 4, pp 256 and 524, and (2) Hall, Robert W., Early Landowners of Maryland, Volume 5: St. Mary's County, 1633-1710, p. 223.] However, a court record which follows proves otherwise.

    *Edward first appeared in the Maryland court records in 1653 when he stood good for a debt incurred by Francis Posey of St. Mary's County. He was Constable in Charles County in 1663 and also Coroner. He was a Juror 1665-1666. Edward Swann shows in the 1696 AIS/GRS database in Maryland Colony.

    **CC, May 3, 1742. The deposition of John Thorn, age about 45 years, who says that the place where he now stands, being on the point of a small hill near the dwelling house of William Thorn, decd, that the sd William Thorn told him, about 6 years ago (1736), that on this place, old Edward Swann told him {about 48 years ago) (1694) stood a bounded red oak, a bounded tree of old Thomas Stonestreet's land called Burch Den, and further says that the sd William Thorn, decd, told him, if it should ever come in dispute, he would prove it, and this deponent further says that Samuel Swann told him that his father, Edward Swann, showed the sd Thomas Stonstreet where to take up the sd land.

    The first known record for Edward Swann indicates that he was in Maryland as early as 1653. In March 1653, Francis Posey sells to Edward Swann and mentions Walter Beane with witnesses John Hatch and Wm. Marshall*.
    *A Wiliiam Marshall is shown 'Cavaliers and Pioneers' as transported in 1653 by Major John Weathrope to Charles City. Also a William Marshall as transported in 1643 by William Erwins to James City.
    Susannah (Heath) Swann was christened 25 February 1630 at St. Thomas Parish in Surrey County, England. Her father is shown as William Heath (15 Dec 1605 ? 29 May 1652). At this time, it is thought that her mother was Hannah or Anne maiden name unknown who died in childbirth in 1646/47 and was buried 14 Feb 1646/47 at Southwark, St. Thomas Parish, Surrey County, England.
    Edward and Susannah Swann raised 3 sons and a daughter. (see Descendant Report in Volume 2) I am descended from their son, James Swann, born about 1668 in Charles County, Maryland. When Edward died, James, the eldest son inherited Eagleton Plantation. Upon James' death, his wife, Judith Goldsmith Nyfinger Swann, would have had a dower right to a third of his estate. However, since she remarried to Samuel Williamson, Eagleton Plantation passed to James Swann's eldest son, Thomas Swann b.1692, my 5th great-grandfather.

    Regarding the marriage of Edward Swann and Susannah Heath, no records have been identified. A message from Mary Klein may explain:

    Phil,
    As you know, early Maryland records are very hard to come by, especially early church records. The have been burned, lost, stolen and never recorded. Of course, ship captains were authorized to marry, as were other civil officers such as Justices. The organization in those early days was pretty loose, since survival was the main aim. If no clergyman or other official were available, couples often lived together as husband and wife until such time as they could be married officially. Of course land records often have more information than most other sources. And sometimes, as you well, know, there is no available documentation at all. Thanks for the attachments, and all the best in your ongoing gigantic project.

    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]
