Note: by Barbara Trujillo This family has been hard to get the exact true data as those in IN don't agree with those in NC on some data. Most of this data is from descendents with some sort of record in the NC or IN records. The Moravian records helped. The Bible sheets of John Swaim Jr. and Elizabeth Vickrey helped greatly. Christopher's 2nd marriage is not listed on the Bible sheets, I was told by a descendent in IN it was because Elizabeth, Christopher's mother was not happy with Nancy Rebecca Wright [religious reasons were given]. We follow that with Christophered to Stokes Co. and married Nancy there. He also left NC for OH and IN to find a right place for his family. He sttled in Huntington Co., IN>
