William SWAN Judith SWAN Richard SWAN John SWAN Henry SWAN +James SWAN Sr. +Susannah SWAN Edward SWAN +Thomas SWAN Sr. +Samuel SWANN +Sarah SWANN Notes Col. Samuel Swann is shown as father of Susannah by some, but a deed of gift from Edward Swan, Sr. to his dau. Susannah, in consideration of her marriage, called Egglestone cont. 80 acres looks like the same land in Philip Briscoe's will of 172 4 given to son Philip, 80 acres had of Father Swann. Father is Edward, Mother is Susannah Heath and his father is William 1586-1638 and Judith Greene. "William J Swann claimed that William Swan came to Jamestown in 1616. He also claimed that Edward Swan, James Swan and John Swan were other, younger sons of William and Judith Swan (Internet Website, California, 1997). Edward Swan, founder of th e Swan of Maryland family, was alleged to have been born in 1630 at Denton Court and was "the great-grandson of Sir Francis Swann of Wye, Kent". He served in the Royalist Army of Charles I, and fled to Virginia with his brothers after the Cromwell ian defeat. Some of this information is probably taken from Adventurers of Purse and Person. by Annie L. Jester, 1956." "Land, 1664, Maryland, USA: On December 9th, 1664 William Marshall assigned the "rights" due to him of four persons, Nicholas, Susanna Heath, Elizabeth Brown and Stephan Champ, over unto Edward Swann, they were transported by John Mercer of Maryla nd. On this same day Richard Morrice assigned the "rights" of George Crockmillion "over unto" Edward Swann. On December 21st, 1664 Edward Swann received a warrant for these two "rights" and his own "right" or 50 acres each for transporting six per sons into the province, or a total land grant of 300 acres. In a patent of September 27th, 1665 credit is given for 400 acres for bringing in Anne Jones, Thomas Cherry, Sarah Horner, John Cox and Elizabeth Parke. Combined with another 600 acres , Edward Swann's early land entitlements sum up to 1,500 acres. In the Maryland Archives as of 1662, Edward's wife was Susanna and they owned 100 acres of land." "Owned Land (26) , 8 Mar 1720/21, "Eagleton", Charles Co., MD, USA: land of Edward & Wm Compton: Court Record (27) , 21 Feb 1722/23, "Eaglton", Charles Co., MD, USA: bounds, Testified, 1723, Maryland, USA: Edward Swann is said to have been livin g "about" the year 1693 from a deposition given by son, Thomas Swann of Prince George Co.,age about 49 years.

Judith GREENE 1588 - 1636 RESIDENCE: of Ratcliff, parish of Stepney, London, England [S1817] BIRTH: 1588, St. Dunstan, Stepney, England DEATH: 1636, Virginia Father: Richard GREENE of Ratcliff Mother: Margery SHOWELL Family 1 : William AUSTEN MARRIAGE: 7 Jul 1609, St. Dunstan, Stepney, England Family 2 : William SWANN "the Immigrant" MARRIAGE: 16 Apr 1612, St. Dunstain's Church, Middlesex, England +Edward SWANN Sr. +Thomas SWANN Mathew SWANN Samuel SWANN John SWANN James SWANN Notes "Ratcliff was a hamlet next to Limehouse, just before the Thames sweeps around in the great loop which now contains the Canary Wharf development. Its name meant Red Cliff, and was a place favoured to land cargoes in earlier days because the bank s of the Thames were firm, and not muddy at low water. Much of old Ratcliff was destroyed in a fire of 1794. In 1612 all of the parishes downstream from the Tower of London on the north bank of the Thames, namely Wapping, Shadwell, Ratcliff and Limehouse, came under the parish of Stepney. Its name seems to have almost disappeared from the London landscap e of today, unlike its neighbouring hamlets. On 30 June 1928 a Memorial Tablet was erected at Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall, to commemorate that from close by that vicinity, in December 1606, the three vessels Godspeed, Susan Constant and Discovery left on the voyage which led to the foundatio n of the Colony of Virginia."
