    Hannah McSwain 24 F SC
    Nicy J McSwain 3 F SC
    John McSwain 1 M SC

    John does not appear in the 1860 census with the family, when he should be 10 or 11 years old.  This at first seemed to mean he died before the 1860 census.

    I found a mortality schedule listnig reporting the death in January 1860 of a John McSwain in Cleveland County.  There was no scan image available to view the original, so I have not been able to confirm that this is the correct John McSwain, or that this mortality report relates to this family.

    I found marriage information in the 1880 census for a John McSwain nearby in York County, South Carolina, living near related McSwains.  Thsi may be a different John McSwain.
