Notes

Even though there has been no document found proving the parentage of Margaret Swanson, her parents must be Francis Swanson, Jr. and Susannah Plummer. "Swanson's lot" where they lived adjoined the Wells land. There was no other Swansony in Maryland at the time. (C-575, p.53) CD-ROM 102 gives her an alternate birth date of about 1692 in Md. (C-586) She may or may not be the mother of Rachel Wells. If Rachel Wells birth date and Margaret's marriage to Joseph Wells is as stated then she is not the mother of Rachel Wells. Controversy on the dates leaves this parentage in question.
