I'm not sure of the link between them, but my understanding is that the McSweans came here from the Isle of Skye around that time. All of my group is in Alabama, and has been for years. Most of the names you mentioned are old family names for my ancestors here in Alabama. E-mail me at the address above.
: : My ansester Daniel McSwean came form the Isle of Skye in 1816.Anyone have any info on him?
: Daniel McSwean, Massina McSwain, John McSwain, My Mother and then me. That is how my line goes. Daniel's sons changed the name to McSwain. I'm interested in how your line goes. Please reply. Betty
