Swan/Swann from Carmegrim, Portglenone, Antrim, Northern Ireland

EyesOz — 11 Jun 2006 6:36:52 GMT

Hi,
I have started researching my Swan line, I am after information prior to my ancestor Alexander Swan (b 1828) arriving in Australia in 1856. He came with his wife Margaret Gault (m. 1849) and first born Matthew (b 1853) from Portglenone, Antrim. In 1853 Alexander and Margaret lived in the town of Ballynafise.
His father was John Swan/Swann, Carmegrim, Portglenone, Antrim.
I have Alexanders marriage records and and the baptism of Matthew as Portglenone, also John his father is listed in the Tithe Applotment Books 1825 - 1901, but no birth or baptism record of Alexander or Margaret Gault for that matter. I have been told the Swans were from Durham County and Yorkshire County in England and after a big family fall out ,one branch going to Ireland and adding the extra "n" to the name.
I had a short report done on the family and it is possible John Swan (b 1795c) had 2 brothers with him in Ireland, George and James. From a copy of the Portglenone Griffith report of 1860c they owned their land at Carmegrim. I have also been told that, from the County Durham/Yorkshire part of the family, some migrated to the States and also to New Zealand. Can anyone relate to these branches of the Swan family. Any information would be much appreciated and I am happy to share what I already have.

Keogh/Swan Family

pixie9462 — 28 Nov 2007 11:01:34 GMT

I am searching for family member of Marie (Keogh) Swan. She was born in NJ with the last known residence of Long Island NY (?) around 1950. Marie had two brothers: John F. Keogh and Anthony F Keogh.

Brother John lived in the Miami Florida area, while brother Anthony was a NY City Police Officer.

Marie's father was John F. Keogh and mothers name was Sarah(Thorton). In 1910 census, the family lived with Sarah brother John Thorton in NY.

I see a private family tree out there that I believe is the Marie Keogh that I am looking for, but I cannot contact the owner nor can I see the records

SWAN/SWANN VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND (and KENT/NORFOLK UK)

bps46 — 28 May 2003 8:14:13 GMT

My first message to this Bulletin Board.

Special interest in the early Swan Families of Virginia and Maryland, especially the key gateway ancestors William Swan of Swann's Point, Virginia (d. 1638) and Edward Swan of Maryland (d. ca 1707). Some considerable information on both of these gentleman, probable English origin of William Swan established at Shipbourne, Kent, and working on Edward Swan in Kent. Also have long-standing interests in some other Swan Families in Kent and especially Norfolk;/East Anglia where my own Swan/Swann Family line comes from. Thirty plus years experience of research in the UK - as that is where I live.

family of James S. & Jane (Taylor) Swan - OH to Crawford Co., IL

locogirlp1 — 18 Jul 2008 6:32:30 GMT

(I posted this on Genforum and thought to post it over here as well.)

Most of this information -- with the exception of the census info and some bits of a journal -- came down to me from a note in a bible that was written by my great-grandmother Eliza Ursula (Nichols) Swan, daughter-in-law of James and Jane (Taylor) Swan:

James S. Swan, b. 24 May 1803 (Va, now WV), m. Jane Taylor, dau. of Henry Clay Taylor and Ruth Ellen Hodge, on 13 Oct 1836 in OH (prob. Champaign Co). James and Jane ( b. 17 Sept 1817) are found living in Concord Twn in Champaign Co OH in 1840. With James is a man aged 60 - under 70 that possibly could be his father.

James and Jane moved from OH to Crawford County, Illinois. They had the following known children:

Asenith Jane Swan
b. 20 Sep 1837 Champaign Co OH, d. 25 Mar 1879 Crawford Co., IL, buried Nethery Cemetery, Crawford Co IL
(m. James C. Higgins 4 Dec 1851 Crawford Co IL)

Rebecca Ann Swan
b. 06 Jan 1839 Champaign Co OH, d. 9 Jan 1881 Wise Co., TX
(m. James Fuller Plymell 11 Jan 1855 Crawford Co IL)

Ellen C. Swan
b. c1841 Champaign Co OH, d. 11 Mar 1873 Crawford Co IL)
(m. unknown Young)

James Madison Swan
b. 08 Dec 1844 Champaign Co OH, d. 26 May 1876 Crawford Co., IL, buried Wesley Chapel Cemetery, Crawford Co IL
(m. Eliza Ursula Nichols 5 Aug 1873 Crawford Co., IL)

Charles H. Swan
b. Mar 1847 OH or IL, d. 6 Sep 1854 Crawford Co., IL, buried Wesley Chapel Cemetery, Crawford Co., IL.

Zachary Taylor Swan
b. 12 May 1849 Crawford Co IL, d. 16 May 1938 Crawford Co., IL, buried Robinson New Ccemetery, Crawford Co., IL.
(m. Martha J. Seaney 21 Oct 1869 Crawford Co IL)

Margaret Swan
b. c1851 Crawford Co IL, d. bef Nov 1905

Edward J. Swan
b. c1853 Crawford Co IL, d. 6 Nov 1937 Crawford Co IL
(m. Delia Bombaker (Brubaker?) 8 Apr 1880 Crawford co IL)

William W. Swan
b. 5 Feb 1855 Crawford Co IL, d. 23 Mar 1855 Crawford Co IL, buried Wesley Chapel Cemetery, Crawford Co IL

Charlotte Ruth Swan
b. 13 Nov 1856 Crawford Co IL, d. 4 Dec 1931 Southwest Twn, Crawford Co IL
(m. William Gibson 4 May 1876 Crawford Co IL)

Julia Swan
b. Dec 1859 Crawford Co IL, d. bef 1931

Thomas Findley Swan 20 Mar 1865 Honey Creek Twn., Crawford Co IL, d. 24 Nov 1905 Crawford Co IL
(m. Mary Ellen Miller 17 Sept 1885 Crawford Co IL)

--

James Swan died on 20 Sept 1865 in Crawford Co., IL, and is buried in the Wesley Chapel Cemetery in Montgomery Twn., Crawford Co., IL.

Jane Taylor Swan remarried on 1 Oct 1868 to James Higgins, father of James C Higgins, husband of Asenith Jane Swan.

However, her tombstone in the Wesley Chapel Cemetery is shared with her first husband James Swan. The inscription is as follows: "James S. Swan, Sr. d. 20 Sep 1865 aged 62 yrs, 4 ms" and "Jane Taylor Swan, d. 22 Jul 1894 aged 76 yrs, 10 mos, 25 days."

The 1840 Champaign Co. OH census lists two other Swan men in the county other than James Swan -- a John Swan in Adams Twn and a Charles Swan in the town of Urbana. Both men are 30 - under 40. It is possible these are James S. Swan's brothers or cousins. I do not know what his father's name was, though as mentioned above, there was a man aged 60 - under 70 living in James's household. This could be his father.

I have another small piece of info passed to me by Stephen Ahlfeld, from a journal written by Ethel Sager Magill in 1969. Ethel's grandfather was Jeremiah Samuel Sager and her grandmother Rebecca Ann Taylor, Jane Taylor Swan's sister.

She says, and I quote: "Henry Taylor’s parents came from England. Ruth Ellen’s came from Pennsylvania. Henry Clay Taylor and Ruth Ellen Hodge were married in Nov. 1810."

She also lists the following dates:

"Father – Henry Clay Taylor – born 1787 died 1845
Mother – Ruth Ellen Hodge Taylor – born 1791 died 1868

l.Son – William Taylor born 1811 died in late 1840
2.Daughter – Elizabeth Taylor died 1876
3.Daughter – Jane Taylor born Sept. 17, 1817 died 1894
4.Son – John Henry Taylor born 1819 died 1895
5.Daughter – Rebecca Ann Taylor born Jan. 25, 1822 died 1890
6.Son – Thomas Henry born Nov. 1831 died 1889
7.Son – Samuel G. Taylor born 1833 died 1878
8.Daughter – Caroline Charlotte Taylor born 1835 died 1881"

---

This is all the information I currently have.

Swan - Segars

William Albert SWAN, NYC born 1875

lgreenwald54 — 13 Aug 2008 4:25:42 GMT

My family history includes a William Albert SWAN.

Going backwards from 1930 Census, William, born in NY, lived in Crawford, NY (Ulster County) with wife, Catherine (KRAUS)(age 55), born in NY, and their 4 year old granddaughter, Catherine SMITH. They were ages 23/24 respectively when married first. [Katherine often had spelling variations, but was also known as Katie, Kate and Catherine.] Williams parents were both born in New York; Katherine's parents were both born in Germany. Her father was KRAUS, mother HEBLECH.

In 1920 William and wife Catherine (KRAUS) appear with 5 children; William A (b ca 1900, age 20 in the 1920 Census), Kathleen (born ca.1902, now 18), Jessie (b 1903 - my gmother- then 16), Albert, (b 1905 - then 14), and Harry (b 1907 then 12) [Harry's middle name according to SS Application was SHAW, his father's mother's maiden name] .

In 1910, William is Head of Household with his family that was the same as above PLUS little Francis who was 4 months old (and subsequently died before the 1920 census).

The family seems to drop off the map between 1880 and 1910!

They were solid Bronx residents.
Can anyone make a connection or help me with this?

Note: In the 1880 Federal Census, Albert SWAN and wife Mary SHAW are noted in the Bronx. They have son William who is called William Jun, son Henry S (believed to be Henry Shaw SWAN), and Susan. Family information shows these members are part of the family, but there is only speculation at this time which will connect them.

Am willing to share all details.

THANKS SO MUCH!

Surnames: SWAN / SHAW> HEBLECH> KRAUS > ANTONELLI/ANTONIELLO >WHEELER> HUNTER/GREENWALD

Stephen SWAN Farm, 1800's Winchester, MA

bbffrrpp — 17 Jul 2008 12:24:30 GMT

Hello. I have a strong interest in the large, HUTCHINSON Farm, in what is now Winchester, MA (1700's to 1900's). And, I have read that the "Winchester Country Club" was built on the land of the HUTCHINSON Farm. But, I just read the "brief history" of the Club and around 1902 it was built on the "Stephen SWAN Farm."

http://www.winchestercc.org/club/scripts/public/public.asp

I was wondering if someone could tell me the exact location of the Stephen SWAN Farm ~1900.

I grew up on the HUTCHINSON Farm, and then in Arlington, so I know the area. And, I'll guess the SWAN Farm was either on what is now Hutchinson Road, or it was on the original Mystic Street (which runs between Arlington and Winchester).

Alice Swan

NoraNell16 — 3 Aug 2006 7:34:47 GMT

I am desperately looking for my Great Grandmother.

Alice Swan, b Illinois <1867>

The 1880 census shows a 15 year old Alice Swan working as a servant in the household of A. R. Downing.
Alice married my Great Grandfather, Daniel Cort in 1886 in Admas Co., Ill.

The 1900 Missouri census shows a Laura & Daniel Cort or Coart, with the children I know were Daniel's. Could Alice have died and then he married Laura? I know they moved there.

Old family records indicate her name really was Laura Alice Swan. But then why did not the newspaper announcement of their marriage show Laura as her first name?

I have an original Cabinet Card photograph of “Dr. C. J. Swan”, which I’d like to get back to descendants or family members. Photo was taken in Burlington (Racine Co.) WI, and he looks to be about age 35.

I found the Dr. Swan in the Wisconsin state censuses for 1895 and 1905, and 1900 Federal Census, showing he lived in Burlington (Racine Co.) WI in 1895, Waterford (Racine Co.) in 1900, still single, and in Athens (Marathon Co.) WI in 1905 with wife Ella, age 29. In 1900, date of birth listed as Feb 1852, in NY, and his father was born in Vermont and mother in NY.

Are you Susan Swan or Swann???

joanthorpe12 — 12 Feb 2008 5:29:54 GMT

I am desperately seeking my cousin Susan Swan whom I have never met!
Her mother was called Rita Buckley D O B 1925 in Oldham Lancashire. Rita had two brothers Leslie and Cecil(my Father)and two half sisters Ivy and Thora and a half brother Bill( their surnames were Harvey)I know Susan became a nurse, probably in the 1970's,
Rita lived for a while during her teens with my parents in a shop at the bottom of Brideoak Street Waterhead Oldham though she moved later to the midlands.
My parents have now passed away but I have some documents and photos of Rita's that really should be returned to either her or her daughter Susan,I was told that Susan was an only child but that may not now be the case,as my father last saw Rita in the 1960's.I really am Desperately Seeking Susan.Thank you for reading this message.

swan/hartwell/vantine connection

ftmun1 — 5 Jan 2008 10:19:13 GMT

I am trying to find the connection of Samuel Swan who resided in Somerville, NJ in early 1800's. He was Sheriff of Somerset County for a while, he was then elected to Congress, representing the Somerset County area. I believe he died about 1844. He was also a medical doctor and practiced in Bound Brook, NJ as well as Somerville. His daughter Eliza married Thomas Hartwell, an attorney, also of Somerville. Now, what puzzles me is my g grandmother's name was Aletta Swan Vantine Mundy, and one of her brothers was named Thomas Hartwell Vantine, all of the Somerset County area and during the same time frame. Why would the parents give a middle name of Swan to one daughter. and first and middle name of Thomas Hartwell to one of the sons unless there was some connection to the doctor/congressman's family, or the attorney's family? Anyone have any info or ideas? Thanks for any info you might have.

Joseph Swan , born January 15, 1824 in Pennsylvania

shirleycoxschroeder — 19 Nov 2007 5:57:16 GMT

Hello - I keep running into family trees that show Joseph Swan being married to a Ms. Hamilton. These trees also show her being the mother of his children Elizabeth Grace, George Laury, William C., Alex C. and Erasmus. I am afraid there is a large chance this is wrong. All you have to do is check the U.S. Census.

Joseph Swan was married to Susan J. Lippitt, daughter of Dr. John R. Lippitt and Mary Jane Cox Lippitt.

I know this because Mary Jane Cox of Buckingham County, VA was my ggg-aunt which makes all down the line my cousins.

I am looking for the parents and birth location of Robert Swan. I have assumed he was born in England but have no proof. The first record I have of Robert is marriage to Mary Crane in 1724 and land record from 1733 in Dedham, MA.

I have been unable to verify this information. Whatever help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.

Swan, Watson, Ripperdon in Corydon, Indiana

barb__trip — 16 Jun 2005 12:23:21 GMT

Interested in finding any Swans still living in Corydon, Indiana who may be connected to my line. My grandfather was Ward T.. Swan (Swann) who lived in Corydon. He was born in 1867 and also is listed as Thomas Warder Swan. I don't know why the confusion in his name, but his tombstone says Ward T. Swann. He first married Meda Mae (May) Crecelius in Corydon, In. and they had a son Archie Ward Swan born 1890. He moved in later years to Tacoma, Washington. My grandfather and Meda Mae were divorced supposedly because he wanted to move to Missouri and she did not. Archie went with his dad. Meda then married Isaac Sonner. Grandpa had a sister named Lavinia Swan Watson, Corydon, In. Grandpa had siblings named James, Mary, Charles, Minnie, and Sarah. He died here in Kansas City, Mo. in 1959. I have always wondered if there are any distant family living there still. I have visited and just love the town of Corydon and wonder where he and his family might have lived. Would love to hear from anyone with anything. Also, it appears his father was John J. Swan and mother was Elizabeth Ripperdon. His grandfather was Julius C. Swan and Grandmother Sophia Hayden. This info mostly came from Dixie Creager Ward from Graham, Texas.

Swan- Wadsworth - Jones

ondeckt — 10 Jan 2007 5:24:37 GMT

I am searching for information on this Wadsworth family. Daniel Wadsworth married Elizabeth Johnson in Bibb County, Georgia on 05/29/1827. Daniel later married Jane Frances Hodges in Bibb County, Georgia on 02/10/1848. I believe Daniel and Elizabeth had a child named Matilda/Mathilda in about 1849. Daniel and Jane Frances may have had a son named Hiram Wadsworth in about 1868 in Alabama or Georgia. Jane Frances may have later married a man named Swan and then some time later married a man named Jones. Any assistance in tracking information on Daniel, Elizabeth, Jane or any of these individuals is greatly appreciated. I am glad to share what I have. Many thanks in advance, Tena

SWAN - Virginia/West Virginia

bselig128 — 27 Jul 2005 3:34:13 GMT

Have posted here a long time ago, but thought I would try again and see if there might be some new connections.

I have a Martha Swan, b. Tyler Co, (W)Virginia, about 1826. She grew up and married (John McCann) in Tyler, and after John's death moved to Guernsey Co, Ohio. I have been attempting to find out who her parents were - thru process of elimination, and some 'guesstimates' I think it could be a Roland and Susan Swan, but have not been able to prove it.

If this ties in with your lines, or sounds familiar, please contact me.

Hello,

I am starting out on some family research, and hoping that there are others further advanced than me.

My father: William Swan, b 1923 (d 1980); his parents: James Swan (fish merchant) and Elizabeth Boyne Swan (nee Smith ?) who were married on 19 January, 1906 in Arbroath.

My mother: Honora Patricia Low Cramond, b 1925 (d 2004); her parents: David Cramond (electrician) and Caroline Low (canvas weaver). David and Caroline were 'nae married'; and Caroline later married a George Forsyth (bank teller).

William and Honora moved to Australia in the early 1950s.

If any of this is meaningful to you, I'd be pleased to hear from you.

Many thanks.

John Burnet - Burnett Family from Aberdeenshire, Scotland to Baltimore, Maryland 1870's

aboyer4 — 13 Dec 2006 3:28:14 GMT

I have done extensive researching on the John b. 1837 & Margaret b. 1818 Burnett family who came to America in 1871 from Aberdeenshire, Scotland. They had eight children between them: William Fordyce b. 1847, Alexander Lemmon Burnett b. 1855, James Hay b. 1855, John Burnett b. 1858, Christian (Christine) Burnett b. 1861, Wilson Burnett b. 1864, Joan "Josie" Burnett b. 1866 and Margaret "Maggie" Burnett b. 1869.

They first went to the Shanandoah Valley of Virginia near Manassas, then came to Baltimore.

Would love to find others related to them.
