I have that info, but am still looking for source, and proof who his parents are. I know he was in the Revolutionary War, but also suspect he may have been Quaker - so that is very confusing. . There were two Lott Swifts, and evidently one was Quaker. I was dreaming hopefully, that someone on this list belonged to the same family and had documented source info. I have Elizabeth Barlow's father's will, and was confused about how he appeared to think she would not be married much longer to him. I have all the ancestry and rootsweb info, but none of it is "sourced" or documented. There should be a will, bounty land grant, pension papers, etc. I really appreciate your help. Thak you very much. Hopefully, I may help you some day. I believe in what goes around comes around, and I have received and given on many lines. I have never researched this area before.
