Sw Aynes Francis Swayne SW AYNES DESCENDED FROM FRANCIS SWAYNE OF EAST MARLBOROUGH TOWNSHIP CHESTER COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA COMPILED BY NORMAN WAL.TON SWAYNE Greal:-greal:-greal:-great:-great:-grandson Eldest: ir: line of succession from Francis SECOND EDITION 1955 PRINTEC BY STEPHENSON - BROTHERS PHJLACELPHIA, PA. 1955 FOREWORD TO FillST EDITION The compilation of' this book, a work extending over a period of' seven years, has been net without some pleasurable incidents in addition to the satisf'action which always comes with getting any job completed. Persons asked f'or inf'ormation have been f'riendly and unsuspicious usually, but not always. Once while the author and an elderly Swayne were engaged in poring over a f'amily chart, by aid of' which relationships were being traced, the good wif'e of' this Swayne appeared in the doorway, very evidently out of' harmony with the proceedings. "What's the matter," said she in gloomy tones. Upon being assured--by her husband, not by the author --that nothing was the matter, she moved of'f', utterly unappeased, remarking as she went, "Well, it's mighty f'unny when strangers get to writing to each other." This incident may explain why some of' the Swaynes to whom letters were sent have chosen not to answer. It is likely, however, that most o~ these, a rather small minority of' all those who received requests f'or in­ formation, were merely indif'f'erent, and bad little inf'ormation, anyhow. A letter addressed to Dr. Swayne and Son, of' St. Louis, Missouri, brought the astounding news that the writer, who signed himself a Swayne, had been born 1742, married in 1784, never bad a father, and that nearly all of' his relatives worked as bartenders or other saloon employes, or would have done so if' such relatives bad existed. Soon after this, newspapers re­ ported that a St. Louis man, whose name was not Swayne, had been fined thirty dollars for adulteration of Swayne's Panacea and other me~.icines. Another letter, this one to a New Yorker, brought this reply: "I regret to say that I cannot give you any inf'ormation which might be of serv­ ice to you." The name Swayne, although it appeared both in his letter and in the directory, was not on his business card. There, only his Christian name was used. The two cases just cited suggest that some of those hiding behind our good name did not receive it from their fathers- When it becomes desir­ able for any person to discard one name and ·choose another, caution dictates the choice of one which is at least respectable. Those of us who have in­ herited Swayne as our surname may therefore feel complimented. At least one Swayne, according to the Louisville, Kentucky direc­ tory for 1915, was dark in color. One instance of a slave holding Swayne is recorded in this book. It is likely there were others. That a f'reed slave should assume the surname of' his former master was usual. It is regrettable that the author was unable to get into correspondence with this negro Swayne. Many correspondents have shown anxiety--even as great as that of the author--to get in the correct vital statistics for themselves, their an­ cestors, or their children. Probably the most extreme case was that of a man who suggesten the desirability of' postponing publication for a f'ew months in order that his expected child might be included. Such people as these show--at least from the genealogist's point of view--a proper pride of race and stability of character. - i - It must be admitted that a work like this is exceedingly liable to errors. Many of' the names and dates have passed through copyings by sev­ eral bands. In each copying there vas the chance of' an error in f'igure or letter, and also the possibility of' the incorporation of' a new idea in spel.2.­ ing. 'Where data concerning certain members of' a family have been obtained f'rom more than one source, the dates, and even the names, have of'ten dif'­ f'ered slightly. This f'ac+. casts doubt upon other data gathered f'rom only one source. Moreover, one can never be sure that such a work is either com­ plete, or up-to-date. There is no doubt whatever that some of' Francis ·Swayne's line are not even mentioned herein. Nor could all of' the tribe be expected to ref'rain f'rom marrying, reproducing and dying during the period of compilation. In spite of' these limitations the author hopes that the book may be of interest and of' service to the co~pa.ratively f'ew Swaynes who are liv­ ing, and the potentially large number of' them yet to live, who me.y vant to learn something about their ancest~rs and other relatives. The cost of' publishing has been born :principally by 253 Noah Haynes Swayne(6), who f'urnished $1075, which vas believed to be the balance needed. Three other Swaynes, 254 Francis Boi:d Swayne(6), 360 Samuel Edvard Swayne(7), and 438 Albert W:..l.liam Swayne( 8), contributed $100 each. Those who read are indebted to these men. They are also indebted to the many interested correspondents, who pa.instakjng]y copied records f'rom old family Bibles and other sources. With­ out this co-operation, from widely scattered parts of' the country, the gene­ aolgy could not have been compiled. N. W. S. George School, Peililsylvania October 1st, 1921 - ii - FOREWORD TO SECOND EDITION While the title now is somewhat dif':ferent f'rom that in 1921, which was The Descendants of' Francis Swayne, and others, the main body of' this compilation amounts to a revision and extension of the main body of' the 1921 com-pilation, which contained the descendants of Francis Swayne. Descendants of the others are not now included.· These others, for whom no connection with Francis Swayne had been discovered by 1921, had shorter lines of descendants than he, most~y twenty or :fewer in each line. There were nine of them, as follows: 601 Abner Swayne; 701 James Swayne of Delaware; 801 James Swayne of Virginia; 901Fral:lk Swayne, 1001 Charles Richard Swayne; 1101 Charles Swayne; 1201 David Swayne; 1301 Robert Swayne; 1401 Thomas Sws.yne. There has been no further search on any of these. However, it is now believed that one of the nine, 701 James Swayne of Delaware, is identical with 73 James Swayne of the 1921 compila­ tion, who is 72 James Swayne now. ConsequentJy his descendants will be found herein. Most of the added names are of those Swaynes believed to have de­ scended :from 28 Robert Swayne of the third generation, :for whom no children were known in 1921. More than two hundred of' these, named Swayne, and more than one hundred with other surnames, ha,ve been :found living in Ohio, in the three Pa.ci:fic states, and in many of' the states on the way west. Robert was a youngest son, had no land in Chester County, so :far as found, so those after him became pioneers. Since the whole number of' Swaynes in the present work, descended :from Francis Swayne, is less than nine hundred, and those with other surnames less than six hundred, those :from his grandson 28 Robert, all discovered during the ten years just past, amount to more than one fifth of the whole. There are here new names and :facts :from many other branches, :for the search has now covered forty years and included an added generation, as well as thousands of hours with old newspapers and documents not used by 1921. However, not all lines have been :freshly covered. Much fuller accounts are here than those of' 1921, especially :from Chester County, partly the results of further search, partly :from the deci­ sion to include more. N. W. S. Newtown, Pennsylvania October 21st, 1954 iii 1 ORIGIN AND DISTRIBUI'ION OF THE NAME The name Swayne appu-ently comes from various sources, and is one of a large number of variations. The Anglo Saxon swan, a pastoral servant, and the Scandinavian Sweyn or Svein, a proper name originally of the same meaning, have given rise to thl:l names Swayne, Swaine, Swain, Swainson, Swainston, Swanton, Swaysland, and perhaps Swann and Swan. These names im­ plied strength of youth. S-.reyne, deri;.-cd from the Welsh swyn, a charm, b.3.s probably been converted into one or more of the other forms. The Irish Suibneach, meaning the spirit of the strawberry plant, was parent of many variations, including Sweeney, McSweeney, McSwiggin, Swiney, McSwiney, Swain, MacSwain, Swayne, and names spelled and pronounced similarly. The Scottish MacS-.reyn was apparen.tly an unusually direct ofi'shoot of the Scandinavian. So any S;.ra.yne can hardly be positive from what source his name has come to him. However, the strong probability is that most of us have come from the Scandina.via::i. The name, introduced into Britain as a Cbristian name at, or probably before, the time of the Norman conquest, soon developed into a surname. Sweyn and Sweynson had been common in Denmark for ages previous to that. The well known ascendency of the Danes in Yorkshire from the time of Ethelred, A. D. 868, probably accounts for that district being the principal habitat of the modern versions of the name. In the eleventh and twelfth centuries Filius Suani and Fitz-S\o-ain are found in England. Early in the twelfth century Adam Fitz-Swain or Swainson was lord of Hornsby Castle.

  • Impeachment and Removal
    Impeachment and Removal Jared P. Cole Legislative Attorney Todd Garvey Legislative Attorney October 29, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44260 Impeachment and Removal Summary The impeachment process provides a mechanism for removal of the President, Vice President, and other “civil Officers of the United States” found to have engaged in “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” The Constitution places the responsibility and authority to determine whether to impeach an individual in the hands of the House of Representatives. Should a simple majority of the House approve articles of impeachment specifying the grounds upon which the impeachment is based, the matter is then presented to the Senate, to which the Constitution provides the sole power to try an impeachment. A conviction on any one of the articles of impeachment requires the support of a two-thirds majority of the Senators present. Should a conviction occur, the Senate retains limited authority to determine the appropriate punishment. Under the Constitution, the penalty for conviction on an impeachable offense is limited to either removal from office, or removal and prohibition against holding any future offices of “honor, Trust or Profit under the United States.” Although removal from office would appear to flow automatically from conviction on an article of impeachment, a separate vote is necessary should the Senate deem it appropriate to disqualify the individual convicted from holding future federal offices of public trust. Approval of such a measure requires only the support of a simple majority. Key Takeaways of This Report The Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach and remove the President, Vice President, and other federal “civil officers” upon a determination that such officers have engaged in treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

  • Senate Trials and Factional Disputes: Impeachment As a Madisonian Device
    TURLEY TO PRINTER 11/30/99 3:15 PM Duke Law Journal VOLUME 49 OCTOBER 1999 NUMBER 1 SENATE TRIALS AND FACTIONAL DISPUTES: IMPEACHMENT AS A MADISONIAN DEVICE JONATHAN TURLEY† ABSTRACT In this Article, Professor Turley addresses the use of impeachment, specifically the Senate trial, as a method of resolving factional disputes about an impeached official’s legitimacy to remain in office. While the Madisonian democracy was designed to regulate factional pressures, academics and legislators often discuss impeachments as relatively static events focused solely on removal. Alternatively, impeachment is sometimes viewed as an extreme countermajoritarian measure used to “reverse” or “nullify” the popular election of a President. This Article advances a more dynamic view of the Senate trial as a Madisonian device to resolve factional disputes. This Article first discusses the history of impeachment and demon- strates that it is largely a history of factional or partisan disputes over legitimacy. The Article then explores how impeachment was used historically as a check on the authority of the Crown and tended to be used most heavily during periods of political instability. English and colonial impeachments proved to be highly destabilizing in the ab- sence of an integrated political system. The postcolonial impeachment process was modified to convert it from a tool of factional dissension to a vehicle of factional resolution. This use of Senate trials as a Madisonian device allows for the public consideration of the full rec- † J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University. For Benjamin John Turley, who was born during the research and writing of this Article.

Recent proposals to inject new blood into the federal judi- ciary have raised anew the question of the available methods by which politically undesired federal judges can be removed from their offices and replaced by men whose social and economic views better accord with the attitudes and purposes of those in control of the executive and legislative branches of the national government. Early in the history of the country, faced by an antagonistic judi- ciary into which the Federalists had retired, Jefferson evolved the idea of using impeachment as an instrument of persuasion and, if need be, control by expulsion.' His success was qualified, to say the very least.

IMPEACHMENT OF FEDERAL JUDGES: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW FRANK THOMPSON, JR.* AND DANIEL H. POLLITTr "The Place of Justice is an hallowed place, and therefore ought to be preserved without scandal and corruption." These were the words of Francis Bacon, philosopher, scientist, and the most gifted of the English Renaissance men. But in his capacity as Lord Chancellor, he came a cropper. In 1621, the highest judicial officer in England was impeached for accepting bribes from litigants-sometimes from litigants on both sides of the case-and his only defense was that he never gave the briber his due unless he deserved it on the merits. Bacon was charged by the House of Commons, found guilty by the House of Lords, and sentenced to im- prisonment in the Tower "during the King's pleasure." King James liberated him from the prison within a few days and gave him a full pardon.

  • MARTHA,’ a Life of Dorothy Swayne, Lay Founder of TSSF
    THIRD ORDER OF THE SOCIETY OF ST FRANCIS. ‘MARTHA,’ a life of Dorothy Swayne, lay founder of TSSF. Printed at St Clare Press, Community of St Clare, Freeland PREFACE. To those entering the Third Order of the Society of St Francis (TSSF) today, the name of Dorothy Swayne may mean little or nothing. Yet the Third Order would probably not have been founded, and certainly not in its present form, without her leadership and inspiration, and her partnership with Fr. Algy (SSF), the first Father Guardian. It is timely to write about her now, while there are still family members and some tertiaries who remember her, and at a point when the TSSF Archive is now in Lambeth Palace Library, where it has been catalogued and is available for research. This is not as intimate a portrait of Dorothy Swayne as I would have wished: her determination to follow the path of ‘hiddenness’ means that there are no diaries and very few personal documents or letters which would reveal the lighter side of the person who is described by friends as having ‘an infectious sense of humour.’ However, her role within the Order is the meat of this short biography, for which she would, I am sure, most wish to be remembered. There are numerous people mentioned in the text who are unknown today. Biographical notes are provided at the end of the biography, and the names are marked with an asterisk (*) in the main text. Denise Mumford (TSSF) (February, 2014.) 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. I would like to thank many people for contributing information about Dorothy Swayne (DLS), her family and the early Order.
