Richard Swan

Notes:

Admitted to Boston church 6 Jan 1639; dismissed to Rowley church 24 Nov 1639.

A no-longer-extant entry on RootsWeb indicated that he was baptized 23 Dec 1607 at Gilberdike, Yorkshire, in terms that implied that the writer had viewed the pertinent parish register. This is plausible; Gilberdike is literally only five miles west-southwest of North Cave, where Richard Swan married Anna Spofford.

Richard married Anna Spofford on 24 Feb 1622 in North Cave, Yorkshire, England. Anna died before 4 Apr 1658 in Rowley, Essex, Massachusetts; was buried on 4 Apr 1658 in Rowley, Essex, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
