   McSwain-SC-1807
   
   The following information was sent to me by Jesse E.
   McSwain.
   
   Name: Malcom McSWAIN
   Death: 1807 Marion Co SC
   Burial: Marion Co SC
   Spouse: Flora ?
   Death: 1818 Christian Co KY
   Burial: Christian Co KY
   
   Places of residence: Scotland?, Fairfax Co VA, Marion Co SC
   
   Children: Daniel (1796-1873), Polly, Catron, Elizabeth
   "Betsy", Margret
   
   Acc. to letter of Feb. 18, 1997, from Jesse E. McSwain, his
   great-great-great-grandparents "Malcom & Flora McSwain were
   foreign-born." Sometime before 1788 they were in Virginia
   but bought 150 acres of land in SC in 1788 for 3 pounds
   Sterling. Malcom died in 1807 at his Buck Swamp plantation
   in SC, leaving his lands and slaves to his only son, Daniel
   and his four daughters. His slaves were: MILLY, LETTIE,
   CHANA, ORRIS, PRINCE, BEN, SAM & HOLLY.
   
   The following is excerpted from a family history being
   written by Jesse Ecton McSwain:It is not known when the
   first McSwain family members arrived in the United States.
   U.S. Federal Census records reveal that both Malcom and
   Flora McSwain were foreign born. It may be that they were
   both from the Isle of Skye in the Hebrides Islands off the
   northwest coast of Scotland. It is not known whether they
   married in Scotland or met in the U.S., as no records have
   been located. It is known that in his will, Malcom
   bequeathed a cash payment of $100 to his mother. In the
   absence of any comment to the contrary, it is presumed that
   Malcom's mother also was living in or near Buckswamp
   Plantation on Little Pee Dee River in Marion County, SC, at
   the time of his death in 1807.
   
   The first documented record of Malcom McSwain appears in
   1788 when he purchased 150 acres of land along the Little
   Pee Dee River for £3.10 from the State Treasury of South
   Carolina. However, in 1929, at the age of 94, Alexander C.
   McSwain of Fresno CA, related his life story. In it, he
   spoke of how, when he was about 3 or 4, he had been told
   stories by his Aunt Betsy of the McSwain family's life in
   VA. Alexander claims she told him she had gone with his
   grandfather Malcom to visit with George Washington at Mount
   Vernon, VA, and that the McSwain family lived near Mount
   Vernon at the time. There¹s no previous indication that
   Malcom and/or Flora lived in Virginia prior to settling in
   South Carolina. Diaries and letters in histories of George
   Washington make no mention of the McSwain name. A search of
   the records of Fairfax County, VA for the year 1760, show no
   occurrence of the McSwain name on tax rolls of land owners,
   leaseholders, tenants or slave holders. There had been no
   previous indication that Betsy McSwain had moved to MO to
   SC. Alexander said she lived about one mile from the McSwain
   residence.
   
   Malcom McSwain's Last Will and Testament, executed on the
   8th of October 1807, provided for the distribution of his
   estate as follows:
   
   ... I lend to my beloved wife during her natural life the
   plantation that I now live on with all the land adjoining
   thereto with all my working tools and household furniture.
   Also I give to my wife one negro woman named MILLY to be at
   her disposal forever.
   ... To my daughter Catron I give one negro girl named CHANA.
   ... To my daughter Polly I give one negro boy named ORRIS.
   ... To my daughter Betsy I give one negro man named PRINCE.
   ... To my son Daniel I give two negroes, one named SAM and
   the other named BEN; also the plantation on Buckswamp that I
   bought of James Smith containing five hundred acres.
   ... To my daughter Margret I give one negro girl named
   HOLLY.
   
   I desire that my wife and all my children that are under age
   should live on the plantation with my wife till they come of
   age, that is to say, the male to 21 years of age and the
   females to 18, and then they are to command their own
   property. I give to my mother one hundred dollars to be
   immediately received at my decease. My negro woman named
   LETTIS is to be with my wife to work for the small children
   till the youngest comes of age and then the said negro woman
   is to be sold by my Executors with all her increase and
   divided between Catron, Polly, Betsy and Margret. The
   plantation that is not lent to my wife at her decease I
   desire my Executors to sell of my stock and crops as much as
   may be sufficient to satisfy my just debts and funeral
   charges and then divide the stock between all my children
   and wife. I do hereby utterly disallow and disannull all and
   every other will or wills made before by me and do appoint
   Daniel McDiarmid, Flory McSwain and Malcom Purcell my whole
   and sole Executors and Executrix of this my last will and
   testament. In witness I have hereunto set my hand and seal
   this 8th of October 1807.
   
   Malcom (his X mark) McSwain (seal).
   
   An inventory of Malcom¹s goods and chattels on 13 Nov 1807,
   disclosed the following possessions to be distributed among
   his heirs as stipulated in his will:
   
   Negro woman MILLY, $300; negro boy ORRIS, $150; negro man
   PRINCE, $400; nebro boys SAM & BEN, $500; negro girl HOLLY,
   $75; negro girl CHANA, $250; negro woman LETTIS, $300; four
   horses, $140; 23 cattle, $138; 20 sheep, $25; 30 hogs, $45;
   200 bushels corn, $100; fodder, $20; 500# seed cotton, $20;
   2 saddles, $12; working tools, $10; 2 beds, furniture &
   stead, $30; dwelling house furniture, $18; kitchen
   furniture, $8.
   
   ======================
   
   Also from Jesse McSwain's letter of Feb. 18, 1997: "Flora
   died in Christian Co. KY 1818 where she had moved with her
   son Daniel, my g-g-grandfather." She apparently accompanied
   or followed Daniel McSwain from Buckswamp to Christian Co
   KY. Her Last Will and Testament, dated 10 Aug 1818 in
   Christian Co KY, stated:
   
   At the discretion of my children hereafter named Nothing
   doubting but shall remain the same again by the power of
   Almighty God to bless me with in this life, I give and
   dispose of in the following manner.
   ... That is to say, I give & bequeath to my daughter Margret
   one black mare, one cow & calf, and two feather beds.
   ... Also, to my son Daniel I give a negro woman named MILLY.
   Also all the rest of my household furniture and plantation
   assets, one feather bed & also all the rest of my moveable
   property. And my son Daniel is to pay all my just debts &
   funeral charges.
   
   I do hereby utterly disallow all & every will or wills made
   before by me in witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand
   & Seal this 10th August 1818. The will was signed with "X
   her mark" and seal. Her will was proved in the Nov 1818 Term
   of the Christian County Court. Witnesses were James
   Galbreath and John Blue.

   Some trivia Jesse shared with a friend in 2007 through one of those silly e-mail questionnaires about himself offers a glimpse of his personal side:
   
   Four jobs I have had in my life:

   Four places I have lived:
   
   Los Banos, CA

   Ramstein, Germany
   Arlington, VA
   
   Four TV shows I enjoy watching:
   
   That 70's Show

   Two and a Half Men
   How I Met Your Mother
   
   Four places I have been on vacation:

   fresh fruit
   homemade lasagna
   pizza
   
   Four places I would rather be:
   
   I have been to every state except Alaska and North Dakota. I would like to see them. But, at 87 years of age, there is no place I would rather be than where I am right now; my home.
   
   Four of the most awesome places/things I've seen:
   
   The Grand Canyon
