Notes
- A transcription of gravestone information for Rutherford and Cleveland County cemeteries (http://www.rfci.net/wdfloyd/cemm5.html) includesthe information for Thomas McSwain. His grave had no birth date, butdid give the death date and the age in days. This was transcribed inthe online registry as:
"McSwain, Thomas 76 years, 8 [3?] mos, 14 days [= born 8 April 1796] December 22, 1872 McSwain Cemetery, Cleveland Co, NC"
The date for Thomas' birth in other sources indicates they have read the number of months as 3 instead of 8. This yields the date of birth8 September 1796. Since this is the date used in other genealogies,I also am following this interpretation of the grave information.
If it is actually 8 months, then the birth date would appear to be 8 April 1796.
