I haven't scored a Nathan Swiney, yet, but my bunch went through VA before NC and TN, and there is a Nathan Swiney listed in the military records of Giles County, VA in the War of 1812. Muster Roll, October 30, 1813 Capt. George W. Camp's Company, 4th Regiment, Virginia Militia Here is a link to the site http://www.genealogy-quest.com/Virginia/Giles/Military/War-of-1812/index.html I would be willing to bet that that early on, all the Swineys are going to be related. Bye for now, Barbara
