DateLocationDescription
From History of Chester County, Pennsylvania: Among the earliest Quaker families that settled Chester County was that of Francis Swayne (who by an old deed is styled practitioner of medicine). He was the son of William Swayne, of Ockingham, Liberty of Wilts, Berkshire, England, who died in 1693, leaving two sons and a daughter, -- Francis, the emigrant, Judith, and William. to the latter he left by will his house and lands in Ockingham; to his daughter, house and ground called the Harpe-bien, Bienfield, and to his son Francis, "all that house & Land , adn the Store in the common field of Bienfield, by the wayside going to Bienfield church," and making him whole executor of "All my goods, cattle, corn," etc. Francis Swayne married Elizabeth Milton, and had removed from Bienfield to East Hampstead park some years previous to coming to America, and his son William records that "about the year 1704 my father and mother and myself were convinced and received the truth". William Swayne, eldest son of Francis and Elizabeth, was born the 30th of 1st mo., 1689, in the parish of Bienfield, and when about eighteen sailed from Bristol "on board a ship called the 'Saulsbury,' and in about five weeks landed at Philadelphia on the 15th day of 9th mo., 1708, and in about a year and a half thereafter Francis and Elizabeth, with their remaining children, --Francis, Edward, Elizabeth Jane and Sarah, -- landed at New Castle, on the Delaware, where they were met and welcomed by their son William, who had preceded them. They went to what is now East Marlborough Township, Chester, Co., and puchased and settled on one of the lots of land joining the south side of Marlboro Street, containing 425 acres, it being then an uncultivated wilderness. The deed of conveyance to Francis Swayne bears date 12th day of September, A.D. 1711. Francis and his son William were both prominent and notive members of the Society of Friends. In the year 1713, Francis went on an extended religious visit to Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Starting from Philadelphia, holding meetings by the way, to Flushing, Newport, Dartmouth, thence to Nantucket, Rochester, Falmouth, Barnstable, Sandwich, Yarmouth, Plymouth, Scituate, Bsoton, Salem, Lynn, Marblehaed, Hampton, Amesbury, Newburyport, Portsmouth, etc. Several of these places were visited twice. During the journey, which occupied three months, from 7th mo. 24th to 10th mo. 21st, about seventy meetings were held. When we take into account the difficulties of traveling in those early days, we are led to conclude that the emigrant ancestor of the Swaynes was possessed of a fair share of the zeal which characterized the early Friends. While in Nantucket he met with a family of the same name as his own, who had settled there in 1662, from some town east of Boston. They proved to have been of the same family in England. There is a family tradition that Francis, while resting for lunch, in the harvest-time, under the shade of some particular tree, remarked that he would like to be buried there; his wish was remembered, and when, in 1721, 9th mo. 30th, he died, he was interred on the spot selected by himself, the place was enclosed with a wall, and for upwards of eighty years was used as the family burying-ground. Francis Swayne during his lifetime conveyed to his eldest son William, the pioneer, by deed dated 9th mo., 8, 1717, 195 acres of his original purchase, bordering on the Marlborough Street.
