"Ireland: My brother once found something that told him David had married a Betty Sergeant that he might have met while they were living in Ireland, waiting on the next ship to America, it could have been all rumor though, I thought it pretty neat though, my brother doing research."

Harvey GREEN, starts his McSWAIN family with David McSWAIN (b. 1700) of "Isle of Skye", Scotland. m. Margaret MOORE (b. 1702) only one child traced "David" McSWAIN (no dates) ..prs Not Wm. David!

"Son William McSWAIN and wife Susanna HAMRICK, settled near his father David McSWAIN on the East side of the 1st Broad River and is buried in the old McSWAIN graveyard, which is now known as the old Buck McSWAIN graveyard."

"There is a controversy in the research of the McSWAIN Family. S. C. JONES in his book 'HAMRICK Generations' states that David 1 & his son David, Jr came to Rutherford County, NC. and David 1 was the first white man to be buried in this part of the country. He also states that David, 1 son James married Elizabeth MOORE and left no 'heirs.'
In Eleanor McSWAIN's book
'Some Descendents of David McSWAIN Isle of Skye' states David, 1 as being born in 1700 in the Isle of Skye, Scotland. He came to America aboard the ship 'The Snow Louther'
(per Joseph Fisher Master from Rotterdam last from Dover, Oct. 14, 1731)
"David 1, his wife and two sons David, Jr. and Charles left Skye. Son William was born en-route."
I have been unable to find any documents of the McSWAIN family name in the Old Tryon, Lincoln, or Rutherford Counties prior to the Deed of 13 May 1789, in Rutherfordton, NC.
John LOAGAN conveys to William McSWAIN, some 500 acres of land lying on "Bowen's Creek" adjoining land of Jacob RANDAL
