I was looking over some new additions on the Lumpkin County, Georgia site last night and I remember seeing a "Swancy" listed, I think in the census. You might check there for them.

Hope the info I sent you, at that time, was helpful. Since Elizabeth Jane Dunn and her 1st husband James Richard Swancey had children, you really should be researching these half siblings as well as the children from the Butler marriage. Have you found anything new or interesting? Joy
