I am a descendant of Margaret Jane L. SWAN, b. 1816 in Knox Co. TN. She married Daniel Ragan HOOD in Feb 1835. Supposedly she was a sister of James Denny SWAN, who married Daniel Ragan HOOD's sister Isabella Jane HOOD. Supposedly they were children of George SWAN and Elizabeth GRAHAM of Knox Co. TN, but I still haven't been able to verify this. George SWAN was the son of Joseph SWAN (1715-1806) and Catherine DENNY ( - 1818) of Letterkenny Township, Franklin Co. PA and Knox Co. TN. Margaret migrated to Cherokee Co. AL ca 1845. Her brother James died in Knox Co. TN in 1862. His widow Isabella supposedly moved to KS to live with one of her married children (not sure which one), but several of her children did move to Cherokee Co. AL and Isabella may have lived there prior to moving to KS. My descent from Margaret Jane L. SWAN is through her son William T. HOOD of Blount Co. AL. I would appreciate any help verifying this SWAN ancestry. Vickie Elam White
