"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."
