Notes

  • In the 1800 census, Jonathan is living in a cluster of 3 McSwain households.  The family name of these heads of household is spelled McSwaine.  Jonathan's age range is 16-25, but his reported birth in family sources is about 1770.  There is one adult female, age range 25-44, and one male under 10.

    This is the only Jonathan McSwain I am aware of in this area at that era, so despite the age discrepancy, this must be Jonathan, son of William David who was born about 1725.

    1800 Federal Census, York District, South Carolina, page 962 (scan 626)
    Jonathan McSwaine  1 male under 10, 1 male 16-25
    1 female 26-44
    1 member of household under 16, 1 over 25

    Next door to him is a John McSwaine, age 25-44.  I would expect this to be Jonathan's brother John David, called David in some sources.  But this John David, or David, was born in about 1750, so he should be 50 and in the next category.

    Next to this John is a David, in the same age range, which would match the birth date of 1762 reported by family sources for Jonathan's brother William David, who would be about 38 in 1800.  Even with these discrepancies, it seems likely this is the three brothers, sons of William David McSwain, born about 1700, who died about 1780.
