Swann family.
The Swann family of North Carolina and Florida included John Jones Swann (fl. 1758) of Bluff Plantation near Wilmington, N.C., son of Frederick (b. 1732) and Jane Swann Jones (1740-1781). For inheritance reasons, John Jones Swann took the name of his great uncle John Swann of Swann's Point on the Cape Fear River and married Sarah Moore (d. 1845) with whom he had three children, among them Frederick Jones Swann (b. 1790), who married Ann Sophia Green. Their son Samuel Ashe Swann was born at Belmont Plantation near Pittsboro, N.C., in 1832 and moved to Florida in 1855, settling in Nassau County near Fernandina. His wife's aunt Mary Martha Reid (1812-1894) helped found and served as a nurse during the Civil War at the Hospital for Florida Soldiers in Richmond, Va.
