Before I pay for the Cumberland County (NJ) Deed below, I want to see if someone already has a copy, or at least an abstract. The NJ Archives has this Deed boxed with the "Albert Peterson Papers" [PPETE001] which primarily contain transactions of the Lee family. This was the only mention of a Swain.
Possibly this Deed is also at the Cumberland County Courthouse, and/or the LDS center at Vineland, NJ. The other two Deeds below might mention a Swain.
My long-term interest is to determine the first name of Joab's mother, a Langley. Joab's father was a Richard Swain who died before 1792.
Cumberland is just north of Cape May County, where Richard the son of the Nantucket Richard Swain relocated before 1700. Relevant records also might exist in Atlantic County, where some Swains lived in Tuckahoe, wedged between Cape and Cumberland. I say "might" because, to complicate things even more, Atlantic County was cut out from Gloucester County in 1837, so the pre-1837 recs might instead be in the GC Courthouse at Woodbury.
