Biographical History
The Swanton family represented here begins with Margaret Lewis, who married William Gay and settled in Maine, and whose second husband was General Henry Dearborn, minister to Portugal during the Monroe administration. It includes the four Gay grandchildren, one of whom, Olive Gay, married Henry A. Worcester, a Swedenborgian minister in New Hampshire and the brother of lexicographer Joseph Emerson Worcester. The Worcester children include Mary Olivia Worcester, who married Walter Scott Swanton and who, like her mother, became a widow when her children were still young. Her son John Reed Swanton received a Ph.D. from Harvard in anthropology, and was an ethnologist for the Smithsonian Institution, studying native American culture. The Byram family is represented by the papers of Mary Augusta Byram, resident of Gardiner, Maine, and recipient of letters from her Byram, Gay, and Worcester relatives.
