John was born on April 26, 1748 in Frederick County, Virginiai or in Surry County, North Carolina depending on which account one believes. There has been significant debate regarding the ancestry of John Swaim. Specifically, the debate has focused on whether John Swaim’s father was Michael Swaim or John Swaim (more on that later) who were both sons of William Swaim (Willem Sweem). In some accounts this John Swaim is referred to John “Jr.”. This has led some people to believe he descended from a John Swaim. Although this would seem to be the norm, there have been instances where a nephew with the same first name as an uncle was referred to as “Jr.” in the context of extended family living close to one another. Based on grandson Lyndon Swaim, John Swaim hunted with Daniel Boone. “John was a farmer in Randolph County and was a friend and hunting companion of Daniel Boone.” A similar account is included in the biographical sketch of Lyndon Swaim by Judge Douglas who said: “(John) he was born in 1748, reared in the pioneer surroundings of the times and became a friend and hunting companion of Daniel Boone. His wife was Elizabeth Vickery, a daughter of one of the Regulators who became the vanguard of American freedom on the field of Alamance”. (Editor – the last sentence is referring to Marmaduke Vickery, father of Elizabeth Vickery, who was arrested by the British and placed into chains and later released). “(John) carved out a home and farm out of the wilderness and became a successful farmer and raised a large family”. According to one account, John Swaim was born in Frederick County, Virginia and moved from this area to Rowan County, North Carolina in 1752. There is a 23 August 1756 land survey for 640 acres in Rowan County, North Carolina near Abbot’s Creek performed for John Swaim. The chain carriers were Abraham Teague and Michael Swaim. John Swaim married Elizabeth Vickrey on May 19, 1767. Elizabeth was the eldest daughter of Marmaduke Vickrey and Elizabeth Nation. Marmaduke Vickery was a Revolutionary War hero and was known for his armed resistance against Governor William Tryon in the Battle of Alamance. In this battle Marmaduke and local farmers were armed with pitchforks and squirrel guns. Elizabeth was also known as Betty. Elizabeth was born on May 11, 1750 in Augusta County, Frederick, Virginia. John and Elizabeth lived in what was regarded as Rowan County, North Carolina. This area became Guilford County in 1770 and later became part of Randolph County in 1779. By 1790 John was in the Hillsborough District of Randolph County, North Carolina as described in the 1790 Census. It also appears that John Swaim is referenced in the 1800 and 1810 censuses based on the ages of the oldest male, over 45, and the fact that John is known to have settled in Randolph County. The use of different spellings for the last name while interesting is troublesome from a genealogy perspective. John Swaim is listed as John Swim in the 1790 Census. He is listed as John Swaim in the 1800 census and then listed as John Swim in the 1810 census. Of course one explanation is that John Swaim and John Swim were different people. However, there were very few people in Randolph County with a name spelled even close to Swaim/Swain/Swim. If you map out which counties had census listings for Swaim/Swain/Swim in years 1790-1810 and look at the family members’ ages, it does appear that we are viewing the same family that is being listed with variations in the spelling of the Swaim surname. This variation could simply be the result of the census taker misspelling the name. It does not necessarily mean John Swaim was using a different spelling of his surname although that is also a possibility. John Swaim died in 1827 and his wife Elizabeth died in 1833. Both John and Elizabeth Swaim are buried in the Timber Ridge Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Randolph County, not far from the Guilford County Linei near Level Cross, North Carolina. John Swaim, Jr.’s Will is located in the Greensboro Library. John Swaim, Jr.’s bible was left in his Will to his grandson, Lyndon Swaim. As of 1976 this Bible was in the possession of Ira Marvin Swaim. “John Swaim, Jr.’s will was found in the Greensboro Library willing his all to his son Moses and his grandchildren as listed in the Yoder Papers down as far as were born at that time. He was definitely John, Jr. We found a Land Grant recorded in the State Land Grant Office dated 1798 to John Swaim, Jr. giving one of the boundaries on John Swaim, Sr.'s line. It was in Randolph County on the waters of Deep River, where he was known to live with his wife Elizabeth Vickrey and his 11 children.” The land grant connection between John Swaim (b1748) and John Swaim, Sr (b 1719) is interesting and provides some evidence and perhaps the only real evidence (somewhat weak as it is) for John Swaim, Sr being the father of John Swaim (b 1748).
