Isaac Swafford was born 1774 in Greenville Co. NC.
-
He is one of the 8 sons of Peter James Swafford and Rennie Howard.
-
He married Polly (Mary) Smith, daughter of Thomas Smith and Unice.
-
Isaac and Polly were among the original settlers of Clay Co. Ky. in 1810.
-
In 1818 in the Pickens Census they were in Lawrence Co. Tn.
-
The 1820 census lists 8 children in the household in Lawrence Co.
-
And we know that John, James and Anna were born after 1820. I have only been able to document 8 children. I would appreciate any corrections and additional information on this family.
