There are few Swain/Swains/Swans listed in the index of Futhey and Cope, but I noticed a ton of Swaynes, the earliest being Francis Swayne, who died in 1693, Ockingham, England, and seems to have been the progenitor of the Chester Swaynes......Have you thought of looking for Peter among the Swaynes, rather than the other spellings? I didn't see him in the index, but it is a really big family that seems to have intermarried with lots of common Chester families; Woodward, Cope, Pennocks, Thomases, Wichershams, Bailys, Yarnalls, etc. Sandra -----Original Message----- From: Cheryl Taney-Sandstrom <tansands@voicenet.com> To: PACHESTE-L@rootsweb.com <PACHESTE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, August 11, 2000 2:47 PM Subject: Re: [PACHESTE] Swan/Swain/Swaine > >Hi fellow listers, >There had previously been discussions regarding settlers within Coventry >Township, Chester County. > >Is there anyone out there researching the Swan/Swain/Swaine family who once >resided there. > >Looking for a Peter Swan who walked this earth in the late 1700's. >1760-1787? >Possibly married an Elizabeth or Marie Elizabeth? > >If you have a connection, please contact me. > >Cheryl > > > >==== PACHESTE Mailing List ==== >Stop by our associated website for Chester County Genealogy at >http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacheste/chester.htm > > > > >
