It would seem that Janet (Jane) SWANSEY is probably related to the SWANZY family discussed in this post.
Janet SWANSEY was born about 1700 in Tyron, Ulster, Ireland. She married Joseph CARROLL, Sr. probably around 1726 in Ulster. They came to Chester County, Pennsylvania sometime around 1732.
One of their daughters, Elizabeth, b. 1732 in Chester County, PA, married Nathaniel HENDERSON, b. ca. 1729 in Chester County. About 1745-1750, This family along with associated Ulster families in the region, migrated to the Carolinas.
One of Nathaniel's and Elizabeth's daughters, Elizabeth HENDERSON, b. 1774 in Tryon Co., NC, married Samuel CARROL, son of Joseph Elias CARROLL, Jr. & Martha Jane SWANZY, about 1794 in York Co., SC.
Martha SWANZY is the sister to Eleanor and John discussed in Joy King's post.
Here is the information I have on the SWANSEY/SWANZY family. If anyone has more information or corrections, please post or e-mail the information.
Thank you!
