HISTORY OF NANTUCKET
SWAIN
According to Savage, Richard Swain came to America in the Truelove in 1635, being then about thirty-four years old, and settled in Rowley. He had in April "perhaps his wife Elizabeth in the Planter, his sons William and Francis in the Rebecca, and his daughter Elizabeth in the Susan and Ellen, under care of various friends." He was one of the original proprietors of the Island.
Mr. Worth says of him* "He was not an educated man and his signatures are by mark. His house lot was on both sides of the cove formed by the north westerly extension of Hummock Pond. He never held any Town office, but performed labor for the Town in relation to sheep and cattle. He was married before com- ing to America and had four children by that marriage. The wife, Jane, had two children, John and Richard. The latter is said to have moved to New Jersey but he was administrator of his father's estate."
Richard Senior died April 14, 1682. His wife, Jean, died Oc- tober 31, 1662, the first death on record in Nantucket.
JOHN [2] (Richard [1])
was the only son of Richard who removed to Nantucket, and from him all Nantucket Swains are descended. Before coming to the Is- land he had married Mary Wyer, daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah. Their children were-
i Mary, born probably before the family removed to Nantucket; married Joseph Nason.

vi Elizabeth, born May 17, 1676; married Joshua Sevolle. vii Benjamin, born July 5, 1679; married (10th, 5 mo. 1705) Mary Taylor.
viii Hannah, married Joseph Tallman. ix Patience, married Samuel Gardner, son of James (27th, 10 mo. 1713-14).
*Of the name Patronymica Britannica says "It is a Scandinavian personal name of great antiquity, introduced here under the Danish rule. Domesday shows us several persons (tenants in chief and other- wise) called Svain, Suain, Suanus, Suuen, Swen or Sueno, some of whom are specifically stated' to have held lands under Edward the Confessor Suain of Essex, supposed by Morant to have been of Danish origin, was ancestor of the famous Henry de Essex, temp Henry II."
