Notes from BOB SWEEZEY
Moved his family to New Jersey in 1737 and settled Roxbury, now Chester, which became known as the Swayze settlement. He was the progenitor of numerous descendents always spelling their name Swayze. Many still live in New Jersey. Judge Samuel Swayze became the first County Judge in West Jersey. One of his sons, Reverend Samuel Swayze was a Congregational minister. Judge Swayze's daughter, Mary, married Col. John Seward and Samuel Swayze Seward, their eighth child, was the father of Honorable William Henry Seward, born 1801, died 1872, who was twice Governor of New York State and was Secretary of State under President Lincoln. I have one source that lists DOB as 31 July 1689.
