There is some uncertainty about the specific identity of Lester McSwain's mother. Family tradition and the 1900 and 1910 censuses report Lester as a grandson of Phillip McSwain. Cyrus Lester McSwain Jr, Kevin's father and Lester's son, also tells us that his father's mother was named Tissie. Perhaps Tissie is a name that appears in other families in the late 1800s. Perhaps there are some other pieces to this puzzle we can eventually uncover to clarify the scenario. Information from a McSwain descendant in Texas, Judy McSwain Miller, indicates that Cyrus Lester's father was likely John McSwain, son of John Franklin McSwain and Mary G (Unknown maiden name). Great grandson Kevin McSwain says that the mother of Lester (Cyrus Lester McSwain Sr) died in childbirth. He also reports that Lester's mother was buried in an unmarked grave. "Thank you for the information and I may be able to shed some light, Lester McSwain (Cyrus Lester McSwain Sr) is the Grandson of PK McSwain. All I know is one of his daughters had him out of wed lock and died during child birth. The father was a cousin 3 times removed, John McSwain, and left for Texas and married. I know this because Lester McSwain is my grandfather Lester's son my father is Cyrus Lester McSwain jr. of DeWitt, AR still living. Lester McSwain wife's my grandmother was Eunice McSwain." -- Kevin McSwain, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 17 January 2007 It appears that Tissie was born after the 1880 census. Her name never appears in a census. Two or three genealogies report her birth year as 1878, but they provide no evidence. No birth, death or burial record has been found for Tissie McSwain. If she was born in 1880 or 1881, she could have been old enough to have a child in 1899. She would have been 16 or 17 when she became pregnant. In that case we will have no evidence, unless there is a birth certificate on file somewhere. Lester is reported as 1 year old in the 1900 census. The Social Security Death Index reports Lester's exact birth date as 16 Mar 1899. I have used this for the date of death of his mother Tissie (or Tisey). "Phillip also left him an equal share of his property when he died." -- Shirley Rowland Mitchell, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 8 April 2015 Lester's date of death is reported as Nov 1987 in DeWitt, the county seat 20 miles from Ethel, where he was born and lived with his grandfather Phillip as a child. Kevin McSwain told me no one knew where she was buried. We assumed she was buried on the family farm, given the circumstances. Our understanding was that PK specifically buried her without a gravestone, as indicated above. In 2019, someone put up a memorial for Tissie on Find a Grave reporting she was buried in Mt Pleasant Cemetery, the community cemetery in Ethel where many McSwains and related people are buried. My wife and I had both been through that cemetery thoroughly several times and know there is no stone for her there, matching what Kevin said. This in itself certainly does not mean she was not buried there. I contacted the memorial creator to learn how he had come to know Tissie wa buried in Mt Pleasant and how he came to such a precise year of birth. Michael Utley, creator of Tissie's burial memorial, told me he got his informatoin form Kevin, his second cousin, the same person who was my source! He said a coupple of years ago, Kevin told him the story of Tissie, and said she was buried in Mt Pleasant. Mike said Kevin told him Tissie was 13 when she became pregnant, while in 2007 Kevin said they were not sure and she wsa about 14-16 yeaers old. Michael had determined the birth year as 1885 by subtracting 13 from her child's known birth date. Tough this sounds more confident and exact than how Kevin sounded when telling me the story, I remember how uncertain these details were to Kevin when he was telling me the story in 2007. These differences seems to indicate only how uncertain the family actually is on these details.

Most sources lack the name of David McSwain's father. His mother's name is likewise unknown. A few sources have a birth date for David's father. The Ballance family genealogy is one of those that reports a date of birth for David's father: (Unknown First Name) McSwain Birth 1675 in Isle of Skye, Scotland Death in Isle of Skye, Scotland; (Wife Unknown) Son David McSwain 1700 - 1770 -- BALLANCE Family, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/11896024/person/-35150885 ---------------------- Clan MacQueen SCOTTISH RAMPANT LION The Macqueens or Clan Revan are a Celtic race. They were of the Hebrides, and the founder of the clan is supposed to have been Roderick Dhu Revan MacSweyn or Macqueen. In the thirteenth century Castle Sween, in Kintyre, was occupied by MacSweens. There were MacSweens among the Lamont clansmen executed at Dunoon in 1646. The ancestor of the MacEwans was called Swene MacEwan. The Hebridean Macqueens were subject to the Lords of the Isles. The Macqueens of Corrybrough, an offshoot, settled in Strathdearn. When the 10th Mackintosh married Mora MacDonald of Moidart, Revan-MacMulmor MacAngus and Donald MacGillandrish came with the bride, and settled near her new abode. John and Sweyn Macqueen signed the Clan Chattan Bond of 1609. Captain Donald Macqueen, 7th of Corrybrough, died in 1813. He was succeeded by his son, Donald, Captain 2nd Madras Cavalry, who was succeeded by his brother, John Fraser Macqueen, Q.C. He died in 1881. The chiefship, but not the estate, fell to his brother, Lachlan, of the East India Company. Lachlan died in 1896, and was succeeded by his only son, Donald, as Chief, who was resident in New Zealand. The Macqueens of Pollochaig, Clune and Strathnoon are the leading cadets. The Clan MacSweyn is officially regarded as distinct from that of Macqueen, and the arms of the MacSweyn Chief have been registered as such. -- Clan MacQueen, http://www.scottishclans.webspace.virginmedia.com/clan-macqueen.htm ---------------------- The McSwains are related to both the McQueens and the McDonalds/MacDonald clans, and are a part of the clan confederation famously known as the Clan Chattan. There are McSuain sub-septs in McQueen and McSwain sub-septs in McDonald, and you will find references to various configuration and suggested Tartans related to those two broad clan groups. In Ireland, the name is associated historically with the McQueens, and the name is found in the Sweeny, McSweeney and other variations of the descendants of the same ancestors. As well as being descended from the Viking settlers, some of whom first came as mercenaries, they claim descent from the original Irish High Kings. ---------------------- MacQueen History From the gaelic 'Mac Shuibhe' or 'son of Sweyn', the MacSween clan claim kinship with the Irish high kings, of the same descent as the great clan Donald. A number of MacQueens are said to have provided an escort at the marriage between the daughter of the clan Ranald and the chief of clan MacKintosh. After this union took place, many of them did not return to their homelands but chose to settle around the Findhorn valley. This branch of the family, known as clan Revan became part of the great federation of clans known as Clan Chattan and by the sixteenth century they were in possession of the lands of Corrybrough. They became a prominent and important family of the district. The MacQueen clansmen are also numerous on the islands of Skye and Lewis and yet another branch of the family held lands at Castle Sween in Argyllshire. The Hebridean branch of the MacQueens have long enjoyed a reputation as outstanding fishermen and also boast of having the Rev. Donald MacQueen as a kinsman. He was a minister on the isle of Skye in the eighteenth century and was described as "the most intelligent man in Skye". He was looked up to by his kinsmen and also won the admiration of Dr. Samuel Johnson, who was introduced to him on his famous tour of the Western Isles. From the eighteenth century onwards the fortunes of the MacQueen clan failed, and the chiefs are believed to have emigrated to New Zealand. The family are now widely scattered throughout Scotland and much of the English-speaking world, and the chiefship of the clan is not established at the moment. -- Scot Clans, http://www.scotclans.com/scottish_clans/clan_macqueen/history.html ----------------------

In 1910 he is living in a neighboring county, White Oak Township of Franklin County. His wife's name is scrawled and uncertain. It appears to begin with the letter U or V. In the 1920 census she is clearly Deana L. I suspected her maiden name was Burnett, since they are living as a second family in the same household with an older couple named Burnett, with other children still in the household. This is confirmed by the California death record of their some Willard Thomas McSwain, which reports his mother's maiden name as Burnett. California Death Index, 1940-1997 Willard Thomas McSwain Sex: Male Birth 4 Dec 1915 Arkansas Death 11 Jul 1994 San Joaquin Mother's Maiden Name: Burnett Social Security #551266136 In 1910 Walter is married and the couple are living with her parents Fred and Rebecca Burnett. The wife's name is scrawled and hardly readable. Walter's daughter is also hard to make out, being also overwritten. Another genealogist has suggested the name is Hermond, which makes sense, and could also match the equally hard to read 1920 census entry. 1910 Federal Census, Franklin County, Arkansas, 22 April, White Oak Township, District 52, page 6B, Hse/Fam #76 Burnett, Fred M Head M W 59 Married 41 years Ark Unknown NC Farmer Owns Burnett, Rebecca Wife F W 60 Married 41 years 12 children/9 living AR AL TN Burnett, Susan Dau F W 10 AR AR AR Burnett, Major Son M W 27 Single AR AR AR Farm Laborer -- Hse #76, Fam #77 -- McSwain, Walter U Head M W 25 Married 1 yr AR AR AR Farmer Rents McSwain, Venie (?)

The death certificate actually says they lived in Cleveland County, but their mailing address was Rt 1, Blacksburg, South Carolina. Blacksburg is just across the border into South Carolina, from Cleveland County, North Carolina. McSwain and Mullinax famliles in this genealogy lived on both sides of the current border between the two Carolinas, from the time when it was still one colony of Carolina, before the border was settled. I found Walter's gravestone information in a transcription of grave information by W D Floyd, who has performed the great service of transcribing so many cemeteries.

This Russell is listed in later censuses as Russell A McSwain, and had a son named Russell also. In November 2011 descendant of John Franklin McSwain told me that John had a son named Russell, along with John, Charlie and her ancestor George. I had found records for only George.
