Notes
0 Text in red represents information obtained from the internet (family trees etc) which I have not yet confirmed.
1 The spelling follows that of the "High Tides" article and also the list of 1748 tithablesf.
2 John's wife is named as Mary in the birth record of their son Zedekiah.
A Mary Swindell, sister of William McPherson, is identified in the will of William McPharson written 1775, proved 1778.a She has been assumed to be the wife of John Swindell, Sr. but, on the face of it, could have been a second wife of Josiah Swindell (who was living with William PcPharson in 1735) or wife of Parker Swindell or of Thomas Swindell.
3 Many family trees add Timothy, born 1715, as a son as a son of John Swindle and Mary McPherson but he was the son of the other John Swindall. See discussion on Early Swindall / Swindle of Virginia and North Carolina.
4 Died intestate - inventory 15 May 1772 by John Swindle, Jr. William, Zedekiah, Josiah, John & Caleb Swindell were among the many buyers at the subsequent sale.b
5 John Swindell, Sr. is assumed to be the eldest son of John Swindall. He appears to have inherited John Swindall's land. There is indication that his presumed brother Thomas was suffiently adult in 1729 to have learnt a trade and purchase land in 1729; his presumed brother Josiah was married by 1732.
6 John was either born in Bath County, North Carolina or born in Norfolk County, Virginia and moved to Bath County with his father in 1702. A John Swindell appears in the 1735 list of tithables in Norfolk County, Virginia so he may have moved back there - possibly to marry the daughter of William McPharson. (Note that I estimate his first child John to have been born around 1729).
"A John SWINDELL purchased 240 acres from George MOYE on the northeast side of Tranter's Creek, Bath County, N. C. In 1731 and in 1735, MOYE sold him an additional 200 acres in the same location. On 6 December 1764, John SWINDELL, Sr. of Hyde County sold 440 acres of land on Tranter's Creek to John KNOWLES, Jr. This deed was witnessed by Christ. RESPESS and Edward MC SWAIN and is recorded in Pitt County, N. C. Undoubtedly, this is the George MOYE property purchased in 1731 and 1735."
High Tides p5
The 1731 purchase could have been by John Swindell, Sr., or his father.
The birth of John's son Zedekiah was recorded in Pasquotank precinct in 1737 and in 1739 John Swindell sold some property which he had inherited on Nobb's Creek. Thus his father had died before 1739.
"In 1742, John SWINDELL, Sr. is listed as a Currituck County tithable and on 27 July 1743 petitioned for a land warrant for 900 acres in Currituck County. Let us not forget that Currituck Precinct/County included the eastern part of Hyde County until 1745. On 5 March 1746/47, John SWINDELL, Sr. was granted a patent to this 900-acre tract in Hyde County. The tract was described as being on Maromuskeet Lake upon Mulberry Savanna, joining the Lake and the swamp. We believe this John SWINDELL, Sr. and wife, Mary, to be the first Swindells to settle in present-day Hyde County and are the progenitors of all Swindells in Hyde." (High Tides p6)
7 Both John Swindell Senr and John Swindell appear in a list of tithables in 1748 d The younger John would have to be 16 to be tithable, hence born in 1732 or earlier.
Zedekiah, who was probably born in 1737, appears last in a list of the sons of John Swindell, Sr. Allowing 2 years between births and even disregarding any potential daughters, this would place John's birth before 1729.
8 From Bill Smith's notes: 7 December 1757, "Hyde Co., N.C.: John Swindell, planter, with love and affection to Josiah Swindell, Son, 150 acre plantation in Mattamuskeete. Witness Benjamin Mason and Stephen Denning."
9 A John Swindle is in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in 1779 (Member of Grand Inquest)
Pennsylvania, Oyer and Terminer Court Papers, 1757-1787
A John Swindle is in Deptford township, Gloucester County, New Jersey in 1787 (August / July Tax list)
Sources
a) "..Norfolk County, Virginia, St. Brides Parish will for William MC PHARSON. The will is dated 4 October 1775 and was probate at November Courty 1777. One of the legatees is Mary SWINDELL, sister of William MC PHERSON, who received 10 Shillings cash."
"High Tides" Fall 1987 p5
b) "John SWINDELL, Sr. died intestate in Hyde County in 1772. An Inventory taken 15 May 1772 by John SWINDELL, Jr., Administrator, was submitted to June Court 1772. An Account of Sales of the Goods and Chattles of John SWINDELL, Sr. dated 4 July 1772 was returned to September Court 1772 by John SWINDELL, Jr., Administrator. The widow, Mary SWINDELL, is not listed as a buyer at this sale - we presume she was either deceased by this time or so advanced in years that she lived with one of her children and had no need for any of the household items. Sons William, Zedekiah, Josiah, John, and Caleb SWINDELL were among the many buyers at the sale of this relatively large estate. "
"High Tides" p6,7
c) Four of John SWINDELL, Sr.'s five sons - William, Josiah, Caleb, and Zedekiah SWINDELL - recorded thier marks in Hyde County at June Court 1752. John SWINDELL, Sr., John SWINDELL, Jr. and William SWINDELL, Sr. are jurors at June Court 1759. At December Court 1763, Josiah SWINDELL served on the Grand Jury and the minutes of March Court 1765 revealed that Caleb SWINDELL served on the jury.
"High Tides" p6,7
d) "Ellen Mitchell, researcher in Hyde CO. N.C. indicated that there was no will for John Swindell 1, but there was an Estate Record in Hyde CO. Vol-1 part 1, about 1722. She also indicated that his son Zedekiah's birth record was recorded in Pasquotank Co., N.C. (Pasquotank was a precinct of Albemarle Co, then.) "
Quoted by Charles H. Swindle. If 1722 is not a mis-print for 1772 then this could relate to the death of John Swindell's father.

I HAVE THIS IN MY DATA MAYBE IT WILL HELP.
5. John Swindle, Sr. was born on 3/20/1676 in Rappanock (Farnham Parish),
Richmond Co., Virginia. He died before 1772 in Hyde Co., North Carolina.
John married Mary McPherson (daughter of William McPherson Sr.) about 1696
in Lower Norfolk, Currtuck Co., Virginia. Mary McPherson died between
3/2/1747 and 9/2/1751. She was born in Virginia (possibly NC or Scotland).
John Swindle Sr. and Mary McPherson had at least the following children:
5A. Timothy Swindle that married Rebecca Crees (See 6th Generation below)
5B. John Swindle, Jr. was born 1723 in Albemaire,Hyde Co NC. He died 1775
in Hyde Co NC. He married Rebecca Harris that was born 1726 Hyde Co NC
before 1748.
5C. Josiah Swindle, Sr. was born 1732 in Albemarie, Hyde Co NC. He married
Esther Balance (born about 1732-died about 1810 NC) in 1776. Josiah
Swindle, apparently a carpenter by trade, died about 1806 in Hyde Co NC.
5D. Caleb Swindle, Sr.
5E. William Swindle, Sr. was born about 1735 in Hyde Co NC. Died Hyde Co
NC in 1810. He was married to Dina (Dinah) (unknown) about 1755 in Hyde Co

She also indicated that his son Zedekiah's birth record was recorded in Pasquotank Co., N.C. (Pasquotank was a precinct of Albemarle Co, then.)
Records indicate that John purchased many different farms from 1729-1765 and sold some as well. These usually were from 100 acres to 1000 acres. He must have accumulated about 5,000 acres of land. Much of this land, was of little cost, and some for 'quitrents'.
1757 Dec. 7 Hyde Co. N.C. : John Swindell, planter, with love and affection to Josiah Swindell, Son, 150 acre plantation in Mattamuskette. Witness Benjamin Mason and Stephen Denning.

Hello Dave,
I enjoyed visiting with you and reading your files. I offer the following information on Caleb which prompted my posting on the genforum to begin with:
from the book entitled: " Hyde County NC Court Minutes and Orphans Book, Book II."
Registration of Deeds by John Swindall to his sons Dec. 1757-Mar 1758 Quarter Sessions Page 11.
John Swindall to his son Caleb Swindall for 240 acres
John Swindall to his son Zedekiah Swindall for 100 acres
John Swindall to his son Josiah Swindall for 150 acres
John Swindall to his son William Swindall for 150 acres
John Swindall to William Turner for 160 acres (could this be a son-in-law?)
Court Session 1763 Page (97)-49:
"3 Deeds from John Swindall, one to Caleb Swindall for 150 acres of Land and One to Joseph Swindall Son o(sic) Caleb Swindall for 65 acres of land, the other to Zedekiah Swindall for 200 acres of land Exhibited into Court and acknowledged by the said John Swindall to be by him duely Executd. They are Ordered to be Registered."
(160)-25 August Term 1785:
On motion John Swindal is Appointed by the court Guardien to William Swindal Orphan of William Swindal Decd. and Entered into bond in the sum of fifty pounds David Spencer and William Spencer his Securitys ordered that Letters of Tuition Issue.
My Note: Caleb Swindall had a son named Joseph?
From the book entitled " (OLD) Rappahannock County Orders 1689-1692", p.195 Rappahannock County Court 7th of January 1690/1:
-Ordered that James Samford take in to his Custody all & singular the Estate of TIMO. SWINDALL late deced on behalfe & for the use of the Orphans of the sd SWINDALL and that he returne an act. thereof under his hands in writing to the next Court held for this County.
In another entry (which I can't locate at the moment) John Swindall appeared in court to ask that he be released from James Samford. Court refused the request.
From the book entitled "The Registers of North Farnham Parish 1663-1814 and Lunenburg Parrish 1783-1800 Richmond County, Virginia" the following birth is recorded:
Swindall, John son of Timothy and Sarah Swindall, 20 March 1676
My Note: appears that Timothy died when John was about 14 yrs of age. John is the only Swindall who's birth is recorded in this book but the above order uses the plural term "orphans".

1757 Dec. 7 Hyde Co. N.C. : John Swindell, planter, with love and affection to Josiah Swindell, Son, 150 acre plantation in Mattamuskette. Witness Benjamin Mason and Stephen Denning.
A deed written in 1772 shows John, Sr. as deceased, actual death date not known.

Yes it's me, and I'm still looking! In the book entitled "Hyde County Court Minutes and Orphans Book 1756-1785 Book II" I find the following entry:
1763 Term (97)-49
"3 Deeds from John Swindall, one to Caleb SWINDALL for 150 Acres of Land and One to Joseph SWINDALL Son o(sic) Caleb SWINDALL for sixtyfive Acres of Land, the other to Zedeciah SWINDALL for 200 Acres of Land Exhibited into Court and acknowledged by the said John SWINDALL to be by him Duely Executd. they are Ordered to be Registered."
END
--------------
This indicates that Caleb had a son named Joseph. Would it also indicate that he had a wife before Keziah?
-------------
In the same book is listed another entry:
Dec. 1757-Mar. 1758 Term
(12)-195
Deed from John SWINDALL to his Son Caleb Swindall for 240 acres of Land, etc.
Deed from John Swindall to his Son Zedekiah Swindall for 100 acres of Land, etc.
Deed from John Swindall to his son Josiah Swindall for 150 acres of land, etc.
Deed from John Swindall to his son William Swindall for 150 Acres of Land, etc.
Deed from John Swindall to William Turner for 160 Acres of Land, etc.
Deeds Ordered to be Registered. (no mention of where the land was located)
END
---------------
Could William Turner be a son-in-law?
I know there is a John Swindall Jr. but he was not listed in this entry.
Can anyone shed light on the son Joseph, of Caleb or on the William Turner who received land from John Swindall?
Thanks, Esther
