About Thomas Swann

brief biography

From an unidentified source:

(13). THOMAS SWAN(N) [twin], born 14 December 1670. He married Eliza(beth), daughter of William Thompson, whose will was dated 18 April 1686 and bequeathed his daughter 300 acres in Surry. They moved to Nansemond, as Thomas Swann appears as a Burgess for Nansemond from 1702 to 1704. He was a Member of the Virginia House of Burgesses from Surry in 1693, 1695, 1696, 1698 and Sheriff of Surry in 1697. Thomas Swann, Jr., died in 1705. His wife appears to have married, secondly, John Lear of Nansemond, Burgess for that County 1718-1722 (Virginia Historical Magazine, 44, p. 199).
