About Speaker Samuel Swann, Jr.

https://www.ncpedia.org/biography/swann-samuel

About 1727 Samuel Swann ll married Jane Jones, the eldest daughter of Frederick Jones, a former chief justice of the colony (1718–22), and his wife Jane. About 1731 he moved his family to the Cape Fear region, to which a number of his relatives had moved. He settled on a plantation called The Oaks, not far from his brother John's plantation, which was called Swann's Point. Also nearby was Maurice Moore's plantation, located at Rocky Point. Later, when Anglican parishes were organized in the area, Swann became a communicant of St. James Parish in Wilmington.

He died in 1774 between the last day of January, when he made a codicil to his will, and the seventh of April, when the will and codicil were proved. He was survived by his wife Jane, a daughter, Jane, and a son, Samuel.

Mrs. Drummond's daughter Sarah afterward became the wife of Colonel Sam Swann, who afterward moved to Albemarle and married for a second wife a daughter of Major Alexander Lillington. Colonel Thomas Swann of Albemarle was a descendant of Governor Drummond, but Speaker Sam Swann, of the next generation, was a grandson of Major Lillington.
