Do any of you with Nantucket Quakers or ancestors have photos, Bibles, or anything that could be shared with other fellow Nantucket descendants? I am co-authoring a book about my Swain grandmother, and the family research I am doing is for a background to the book. I am new to knowing that the Swains came from Nantucket, but do have a photo of a portrait of my ggg grandfather, Shubael Swain, who was born there and moved to NYC as a ship captain. His parents were Ebenezer Swain and Lydia Ellis, and his parents were Ebenezer Swain and Lydia Gyles. I am always looking for living relatives who might have stories, photos, information, Bible records, anything that would add to the story of her ancestors and cousins and even living relatives. Thanks, Sue

My ancestor, Nathaniel Donham died by 1812 in Clermont Co OH. A witness to the Clermont County will is Jesse Swein/Swain. He may be descended from Nathaniel Donham who died ca 1727 in Bucks Co. PA and whose daughter Elizabeth married Jonathan Fitzrandolph. This Nathaniel owned land in Newtown as did the Twinings from Eastham MA. Is it possible Jesse Swein is related to the Nantucket Swains? Thanks.
