• Notes

  Francis, Jr. is listed in his father's will as his only son. Francis, Jr. probably had four daughters. He gave 100 acres of land called "Swanston's Lott" to his brother-in-law, Thomas Plummer on March 16, 1694. In June, 1696/7 in Prince George's County, George Burges requested a warrant against Francis Swanston. He sued him for a debt of 960 pounds of tobacco He was still living in 1697. This court case drew out through Jan. of the same year. When the sheriff tried to collect, Francis was not to be found. The courts placed an attachment on his goods and Chattels. The case was discontinued in Jan. with the results being unclear. In Nov. 1698, Francis's wife, Susanna Swanson, (as the spelling occurred) was in the courts. She and Mary Evans were suspected of killing a "beef" belonging to Archibald Edmondson. (C-575) The resolution of this case must be looked up to be determined.
