About Moses Swaim
NOT the same as Moses Swaim his first cousin Moses Swaim, son of William and Charity or another first cousin Moses Swaim
Moses Swaim, a Randolph County farmer who served as county commissioner, attorney and clerk of superior court, was the first president of the North Carolina Manumission Society. Like many Quakers who favored manumission, Moses Swaim eventually moved to Indiana.
At that first meeting (of the North Carolina Manumission Society) says Levi Coffin in his autobiographical Reminiscences, Moses Swaim, “a lawyer of Randolph County, delivered a lengthy and able address, which was afterward printed and widely circulated. It was a strong abolition speech, and would not have been allowed a few years later.” (p.74)
