Notes

Thomas Swearingen anglicized his family name by dropping the 'Van' and adding an 'a' to it. He lived with his wife Jane in Prince George's County, Maryland during their married life.

Thomas Swearingen left a will which was written on 29 July 1708 and probated on 9 March 1711. He mentioned:

1) 'To eldest son Thomas and heirs, plantation, 100 acres, _______, where he now lives' 2) 'To son Van and heirs, 100 acres, _______, residue of said tract' 3) 'To son Samuel and heirs, dwelling plantation and land at decease of his mother' 4) 'In event of death of either son Samuel or Van aforesaid, deceased's portion to pass to their youngest brother John; otherwise he to have personalty at majority' 5) 'To wife Jane, executrix, all personal estate'
