I am intrigued by the part of the Swan posting relating to Henry Swan as a furniture maker in MA. For many, many years I have researched the Swan family of Essex Co., NY - initial ancestor appeared in Essex Co. in the mid 1830s. My gr grandfather, Henry Swan, was a furniture maker in Wadhams, NY at the end of the 1800s. Further information is available at:
