Swain, David Lowry, 1801-1868
David Lowry Swain, lawyer, governor, and educator, was born near Asheville, N.C., in Buncombe County. His father, George Swain, was a Massachusetts native who settled in Georgia and served in the Georgia legislature and constitutional convention of 1795 before moving to the North Carolina mountains. Caroline Swain, his mother, was the daughter of Jesse Lane. Caroline Swain had four children with her first husband, David Lowry. She and George Swain had seven children, of whom David was the youngest.
David Swain was educated in the Newton Academy and remained there for a time as an instructor in Latin. In 1822, Swain left to pursue his aspiration of becoming a lawyer and entered the junior class of the University of North Carolina. Older than most of the students and somewhat disappointed with the University, Swain left after only one week in order to study law in Raleigh at the school of Chief Justice John Louis Taylor.
