Life History

Notes

• The part of Rutherford County, North Carolina, where David McSwain and his family lived became part of Stanley County when Rutherford was divided into smaller portions.  They lived at Ugly Creek, later called Hardy Creek.
  
  The Washburn Genealogy provides good information about Charles and Lurany (Lewraner) and their children.

  "Charles had 16 children by his first wife Luraner, my g.g. grandfather Thomas Asbury McSwain was by his second wife Sarah Lucy Throckmorton McSwain, this right before his death in 1848."

  David Holden reports that Charles' parents were David McSwain and Priscilla (Last name unknown).  It seems to me that the David who was Charles' father was born in 1750 in Virginia.  He also appears to be the one who was called John, or John David, and was married to Rebecca Cowart and Catheirine Robinson.  Catherine is reported by several family genealogies as the mother of Charles born in 1786.

  ----------------------
  I'm glad to hear from You Orville, my line goes like this, My father was Jack Osborne McSwain, he died in Pembroke Pines, Florida, his father was William Boyd McSwain, who was married to Bonnie Mitchell, had 3 boys, she died and he remarried Mary Kiser, they had 2 girls.
  
  Next comes Osborne Benjamin McSwain, he was married to Amanda Childers, they were from down about Cherokee county S.C., Osborne's father was Thomas Asbury McSwain, mother Alice (Aly Ann) Carpenter, then comes Charles McSwain who was married to Luraner Washburn McSwain, he and she had abt. 16 children together, she died, I should have her death date somewhere in my records, probably in the 1840s, he then married my g.g.g.grandmother Sarah L. Throckmorton.
  
  Charles's father was David McSwain, I think his mother was Catherine Robertson.
