Barbara,
If my memory serves me correctly, James Axley was a Methodist Minister of Cocke Co, TN area, and he had a brother named Pleasant.Sampson Clayton was also a minister, but Thos & Anna (Manning) Swagerty, named most of thier sons after ministers of families not known to have been related, directly, to either Swagerty or Manning fams.
Their are poss two exceptions, Joseph Manning & Pleasnt O'Haver.Joseph Manning was a Baptist Minister, and prob a brother of Anna Manning.Pleasnt O'Haver was husb of Elizabeth Swagerty, prob a half-sister of Thos Swagerty.
Pleasant & Elizabeth (Swagerty) O'Haver had a desc who was an actress, and it is from this same O'Haver family that we have an unsubstaniated story of Elizabeth's father, Frederick Swiegert/Swagerty (the immigrant) being a nephew (whether legitimate or not) of Frederick The Great.
Hope this answers your query/questions, happy holidays & more later,
Richard.
