    George and Martha were among the first McSwains to move into Arkansas from North Carolina.  They were there before the Civil War, in Jefferson County (Pine Bluff is the county seat).  Related McSwains settled in Arkansas County to the east and Desha south of Arkansas County along the Arkansas River by the 1860 and 1870 censuses.

    "Minor M. McSwain, George A. McSwain's brother, was my 2nd great-grandfather.  I see that Minor took in Thomas M. after George & Martha McSwain died, and that his brother, Gabriel McSwain took in the two youngest boys."

    This seems to indicate that both George and Martha died before 1870.  I find no record for them after the 1860 census.

    "Edmond Kendall and Minor M. McSwain were my 2nd great-grandfathers.  I have been researching George A. McSwain's family trying to determine whether his wife Martha was a sister to Minor McSwain's wife, Lucy Ann Randle. My family's story is that Lucy Ann Randle had a twin sister. Unfortunately, no one seems to know who Lucy Ann Randle's parents were. The twin story didn't help since that huge tribe of Randles in Montgomery and later Stanly County, NC all had twins."
