"John Swearingen was probably born in Montgomery County, Maryland, about 1743. He moved to Pennsylvania and married Elizabeth Shankle. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary war he entered the Continental army and served through the struggle, being most of the time a teamster with the wagon train. At the close of the war he removed to North Carolina and settled on the west side of the Great Pedee River, in what was then Montgomery, but now Stanly County, to which neighborhood relatives of the name had preceded him. He died October 7, 1807. His children were George, John, William, Eliza, Zealphia, Samuel, Mary and Elizabeth." (Family Historical Register, p. 114). Found in FamilySearch.
