Notes for Burwell Blanton MCSWAIN


Some sources have no parentage for Burwell (or Burrell).  Others report him as
a child of William McSwain (born 1792) and Mary Nancy Bridges.  I have not
found formal records of his parentage.  David Holden reports Burwell as the
son of William McSwain and Mary Nancy Bridges, but has no wives for him.

Burwell's name appears as Burrell in the 1850 census and in some family
genealogies.  The name also appears as Burl in some of his cousin lineages,
like the Padgetts.  More commonly the form Burrell is found among these
related families.  Burrell's middle name Blanton is a family name for the
Blantons, who have married Green, McSwain and other related families in
Cleveland County, North Carolina over the generations.

In 1850 Burwell, enumerated as Burrell, is unmarried and working on the farm
of William and Sarah McSwain, (or maybe farming his own portion of their farm,
since he is reported not as a Farm Laborer, but a Farmer in the same
household).  This census is one indication in support of the genealogies that
report Burwell is the son of William (b 1792) and Mary Nancy Bridges, since
this William is also a son of that couple.  Thus Burwell would be living in
the home of his brother William.  Unfortunately these early censuses did not
report the relationship to the head of the household.  An exact birth date for
Burwell is provided by some genealogies, like the one below by Douglas
McSwain.

The Hamrick Data Pages report that Burwell married Eliza McSwain, but gives no
date for the marriage.  Douglas McSwain provides a date of marriage, reporting
Burwell's wife by the full name Elizabeth.  (David Holden also has an
Elizabeth McSwain as a daughter of Thomas and Frances (Selena) McSwain, but
puts her birth in 1821, and reports an additional daughter Eliza born in 1829,
who would match this Elizabeth, reported in 1870 census as Eliza.)

--  Hamrick Data Pages, http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~hamrick/wga74.html

Hamrick's birth year for a Cynthia puzzle here.  Cynthia was the first born,
enumerated in the 1860 census as 3 years old, thus born about 1857, and 12
years old in 1870, so born about 1858, not 1863 as Hamrick reports.  The child
Jane matches the girl reported in the 1870 census as 8-year-old Permelia.

Census records of Burwell agree with the birth date for Burwell given by
Douglas McSwain here, indicating his birthday was about 1829, not 1826 as the
Hamrick Data reports.

In 1862 Burwell signed up to serve in the War Between the States.

McSwain, Franklin 1 M W At Home born North Carolina [b abt 1869]

Permelia is close in age to the Jane reported by the Hamrick Data Pages for
this family,  so we can take her name as Permelia Jane.  The Hamrick list
would seem to indicate that she went by Jane.  We also have an approximate
death year of 1926 from Hamrick.

Hamrick has two separate marriage records of Burwell McSwain with different
birthdays, but they appear to refer to the same person, despite some
discrepancies.  Eliza (or Elizabeth) McSwain was his first wife, reported in
the 1870 census, and the second was Louisa Jane Hamrick (called Jane Hamrick
in Hamrick Data), showing up in later censuses as the wife of this same
Burwell and stepmother of the earlier children.

Eliza died sometime after the 1870 census and before the approximate date of
marriage to Louisa, about 1855, according to Hamrick.  David Holden reports
her under the name Eliza also, and as the daughter of Thomas and Frances
(Selena) McSwain.

McSwain, Burwell (1828 - )

spouse: Hamrick, Jane (~1834 - )

--  Hamrick Data Pages, http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~hamrick/wga74.html

This marriage date could not be for the same Burwell and his wife Louisa J
(thought to be Louisa Jane Hamrick) in the 1880 and 1900 censuses.  In 1855
Burwell Blanton McSwain married Eliza (Elizabeth?) McSwain, who died sometime
between the 1870 and 1880 censuses.  In 1880 Burwell's wife was Louisa J.  I
have considered that there might be two Burwell McSwains, as the Hamrick Data
seems to indicate, but have found no records to that effect.

This census says Burwell was born in February 1829.  But family sources report
his birth was 15 July 1829.  The marriage info tells us that Burwell married
Louisa 25 years ago, thus about 1875, which was our estimate based on the
earlier data above.  The enumerator had originally written 43 years for
Burwell then changed it to match the 25 years for Louisa.  That would refer to
a date of about 1857, close to the date of 1855 reported by Douglas McSwain
for Burwell's marriage to Eliza McSwain.

Note that the census reports that Louisa has borne one child and that child is
living.  This means there was a child born after the 1880 census, who has
already moved out of the house.  I do not have the name of this child.

However, Caleb is listed first in the household, though he has no Real Estate

Huckster.  The word did not have such a negatve connotation back then.  I note
that James is a Merchant, so probably Caleb worked for him as a salesman.

Notes for Callie D MCSWAIN


Bertie Lois McSwain spelled the name of one sister of Wiley Carew McSwain as
"Kelly" in a letter to her daughter Edith and son-in-law Orville Jenkins in
1977, giving some family information.  She also pronounced it that way in a
conversation with them in 1980, in which she provided extensive family
information orally.

But her daughter Edith says she always heard it pronounced by her father's
family as Callie.  This is the spelling she remembers.  Bertie's sons George
and Frank also reported they had only heard Bertie pronounce the name as
Callie.  (There is only a slight difference in the vowel of the two names.)

Middle initial and birth date from Bobby Butler research.

Two censuses, however, have different middle initials.
In 1880 she is reported as Callie with no middle initial
In 1900 she is reported as Callie D
In 1910 she is reported as Callie L
In 1920 she is reported as Callie B

Her gravestone has no middle initial or name.

In 1880, she is listed only as Infant McSwain.  She is listed as 1 year old,
for a census date of 1 June 1880.  But the birth date known by the family is
December 1879, so Callie would not have actually been one until December.  She
was only 6 months old at this census.

In 1900, after both their parents had died, Callie is enumerated in a

siblings.  Their mother died in 1897 and their father in April before this
June 1900 census.

Kenenth McSwain shared some recollections about Callie.

"I knew Aunt Callie and Uncle Harvey (she was my dad's aunt) because we would
visit them each time we went to Ethel.  From my earliest memory she was
confined to a chair because of elephantitis, that is her lower legs were
swollen and huge, so to the best of my knowledge she didn't get around.  They
lived on the East side of Bisswanger Road."

David Holden reports that Charles' parents were David McSwain and Priscilla
(Last name unknown).  It seems to me that the David who was Charles' father
was born in 1750 in Virginia.  He also appears to be the one who was called
John, or John David, and was married to Rebecca Cowart and Catheirine
Robinson.  Catherine is reported by several family genealogies as the mother
of Charles born in 1786.

I'm glad to hear from You Orville, my line goes like this, My father was Jack
Osborne McSwain, he died in Pembroke Pines, Florida, his father was William
Boyd McSwain, who was married to Bonnie Mitchell, had 3 boys, she died and he
remarried Mary Kiser, they had 2 girls.

Next comes Osborne Benjamin McSwain, he was married to Amanda Childers, they
were from down about Cherokee county S.C., Osborne's father was Thomas Asbury
McSwain, mother Alice (Aly Ann) Carpenter, then comes Charles McSwain who was
married to Luraner Washburn McSwain, he and she had abt. 16 children together,
she died, I should have her death date somewhere in my records, probably in
the 1840s, he then married my g.g.g.grandmother Sarah L. Throckmorton.

Charles's father was David McSwain, I think his mother was Catherine
Robertson.

Between 1871 and 1898, Charles was a Minister in the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, associated with the Little Rock, Arkansas, Conference of the
Chuirch.

"In 1871, he was licensed to preach and entered the Little Rock Conference

Charles' first wife was Lucy Jones, who died in 1888.

In 1891, Charles married Lula Grey Trotter.  Her residence is reported as Drew
County, Arkansas, in the south of the state, while his is Arkansas County. 
But they were married in the center of the state in Lonoke County, east of
Little Rock.

This was the second marriage for both.  This report of residence in Arkansas
County provides a tie to the McSwains in that county, the primary early area
of immigration into Arkansas from the east.  Douglas' father Gabriel Washburn
McSwain arrived from Carolina via Mississippi, where Douglas and other
children were born.  Others had come earlier through Tennessee from North
Carolina.

Note that Lula is reported to have borne only 1 child.  Yet her two children

Arkansas Historic Preservation Program
Emmet United Methodist Church, Emmet, Nevada County

(p2)
The Emmet Church records for 1914 indicate that the Emmet Church had a need
for Sunday School rooms. The church had a Bible Class for adults taught by C.
D. McSwain, a former Methodist minister and leading member of the church, five
other Sunday School classes, a ``Card Class´´ and an Infant Class [Emmet
Sunday School Records, Emmet Methodist Church File, Southwest Arkansas
Regional Archives, Washington, Arkansas].  With an active Sunday School
program, this design would have appealed to the Emmet Church though its
popularity was waning nationally.

(p3)
McSwain

A leading figure in the Emmet Church in the early twentieth century and one
who may have led the way in the construction of the present church was Rev. C.
D. McSwain. Born in Marshall County,  Mississippi, in 1850, McSwain came to
Falcon, then in Columbia County and now in Nevada County, with his parents G.
W. and Elizabeth McSwain in 1859. Raised in a Methodist home, he converted in
1866 and joined the Falcon Church. In 1871, he was licensed to preach and
entered the Little Rock Conference where he served as a Methodist minister in
various locales for twenty-seven years. Having requested a supernumerary
relation to the church, McSwain moved to Emmet in 1898. [``Preacher who was
partially or temporarily disabled by personal affliction or hardship of some
kind and thus unable to do the work of active ministry.´´  See Nancy
Britton, Two Centuries of Methodism in Arkansas, 1800-2000 (Little Rock,
Arkansas:  August House Publishers, Inc., 2000), 314.]

This request was probably prompted by a series of deaths in C. D. McSwain´s
family. Other members of the McSwain family had moved to Emmet earlier. His
brother Caleb Orr McSwain had died there in 1883, leaving a family. C. D.
McSwain´s first wife Lucy Jones had died in 1888 after a brief two-year
marriage, leaving an infant daughter who lived less than three weeks. His
father G. W. McSwain died at Emmet in February 1889. A younger brother Lucious
H. McSwain also died at Emmet in July 1898, leaving a family. His mother
Elizabeth McSwain, then almost eighty, died there in August 1899.

All are buried in the Snell Cemetery. In 1891, McSwain had married Mrs. Lula
Trotter at Monticello, Arkansas. His second wife had a daughter Junie Trotter
from her previous marriage. A special life-long relationship between this
step-daughter and step-father developed. McSwain and his second wife also had
a son, C. D. McSwain, Jr. [James A. Anderson, Centennial History of Arkansas
Methodism:  A History of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, In the State
of Arkansas, 1815-1935 (Benton, Arkansas:  L. B. White Printing Co., 1935),
236.]

Though functioning as an assistant minister at the Emmet Methodist Church,
McSwain also entered business. [Emmet Church Records.  McSwain is listed as
assistant minister in 1901.  He also taught a Bible Class for adults]

He became the cashier of the Emmet office of the Bank of Prescott and was a
large stockholder in the bank and in the Emmet Mercantile Co., a general store
in Emmet. He was well connected with men of influence and had a long-standing
close personal relationship with T. C. McRae and his law partner W. V.
Tompkins of Prescott. [``C. D. McSwain of Emmet Passes Away,´´ Nevada News,
October 4, 1917, 3:2.  Hereinafter referred to as the McSwain obituary.]

McRae was a leading figure in Democratic politics and in banking circles in
Arkansas. He served in Congress for the Third District of Arkansas from 1884
until 1903. He purchased the Bank of Prescott in 1905 and later served as
president of the Arkansas Bankers Association. A practicing attorney, McRae
also served as president of the Arkansas Bar Association in 1917. A southern
progressive, McRae would serve two terms as governor of Arkansas in the 1920s.
[http.www.oldstatehousemuseum.com/exhibits/virtual/governors/the_1920s_and_1930s/mcrae.asp]

McSwain´s branch of the Bank of Prescott in Emmet was prospering in 1917. The
Emmet Mercantile, in which he had an interest, was the selling agent for the
Emmet Truck Growers Association. His son-in-law and nephew T. L. Garland, the
husband of his step-daughter Junie, was President and General Manager of the
Truck Growers Association. [Nevada News, July 26, 1917.  In 1910, T. L.
Garland and his wife Junie were living with C. D. McSwain.  See the 13th
Manuscript Census for Emmet, Nevada County, Arkansas.]

Emmet and its citizens were enjoying almost unprecedented prosperity. The new
church was probably under construction or near completion when C. D. McSwain
died suddenly of ``acute indigestion´´ at his home on October 1, 1917. He is
buried in the Snell Cemetery. [McSwain Obituary]

Mrs. C. D. McSwain also had many connections in the Methodist Church.Born Lula
Grey in Clark County, Arkansas, in 1854, she lost both her parents at a young
age. She was raised by her aunt Mrs. A. R. Winfield and her husband Rev. A. R.
Winfield, one of the best known and more controversial figures in 19th century
Arkansas Methodism. [Centennial History of Arkansas Methodism, 280.  The most
concise account of Rev. Winfield´s career is in Nancy Britton´s Two
Centuries of Methodism in Arkansas, 1800-2000, 64-67.  She notes:  ``During
his thirty-nine years in Arkansas, he served as pastor, presiding elder,
teacher and college president, revivalist, temperance worker, writer and
editor.´´ (p. 65)  He was reportedly a preacher of astonishing power.  He
died in 1888.  See also Centennial History, passim and Walter N. Vernon,
Methodism in Arkansas, 1816-1976 (Little Rock, Arkansas:  Joint Committee for
the History of Arkansas Methodism, 1976), passim.]

After attending school in Memphis, Tennessee, she married John R. Trotter of
Monticello, Arkansas, with whom she had five children. Three of these children
and her first husband died within a few years. She remained in Emmet after the
death of her second husband in 1917 until her death on September 15, 1926.

Garland

The Garland family has had a significant roll in the Emmet Methodist Church,
and they are closely related to the McSwain family. Hannah Josephine McSwain,
an older sister of C. D. McSwain, married Robert R. Garland of White County,
Arkansas, on September 10, 1865, at Falcon in Columbia County, Arkansas.
[Southwest Arkansas Genealogical Society, comp., Columbia County, Arkansas,
Free Population Schedules, 1860 (Magnolia, Arkansas: Southwest Arkansas
Genealogical Society, n.d.), 70.]

The growing Garland family was in Columbia County, Arkansas, in the 1870 and
1880 censuses, but they were in Emmet in the 1900 census where they had joined
members of their extended family. They were living in the dwelling next to the
C. D. McSwain home. [Twelfth United States Manuscript Census, Emmet Town,
Nevada County, Arkansas.] They had come to Emmet earlier, possibly in the
1880s. [Garland´s obituary in the Nevada News of October 11, 1923, states
that he had lived in Emmet more than forty years and was a lifelong member of
the Methodist Church. The paper erroneously listed his initials as ``W. W.´´
when they should have been ``R. R.´´]

In a deed from Lucious H. McSwain and his wife conveying a lot to the
Methodist Church in 1892, R. R. Garland was named as one of the trustees of
the Emmet Church. [Nevada County Deed Record Book W, 548 and 549.]  His son
Thomas L. Garland married Junie Trotter.In 1910, T. L. Garland was living in
the home of his uncle and step-father-in-law C. D. McSwain and was later
associated with him in business in the Emmet Mercantile. Garland served as
president of the Emmet Mercantile. His brother J. M. Garland was the secretary
and treasurer. [Arkansas Methodist, May 14, 1936, p. 9.]

John McSwain ``Mack´´ Garland married Elizabeth Christopher of Prescott in
November 1909. [Bruce J. Martin, comp., Nevada County Arkansas Marriage
Records, Jan. 1902-Sep 1910 (unpublished typescript, 1992), 14. Southwest
Arkansas Regional Archives, Washington, Arkansas.]  The Garland brothers,
their children and other family members would remain in Emmet and be strongly
associated with the Emmet Methodist Church that played such a large role in
their lives.Their families made numerous memorials to honor their memory.
