• Notes

  [18212.ged] [sweeze~2.FTW] John Swasey was an Englishman. He wrote and spoke the English language. He was probably born in Bridport, Dorsetshire, England before 1600. He came to America Abt 1629/30 with his two sons, Joseph and John Jr. They settled at Salem, Mass unti l about 1640, when John and John Jr, moved to Long Island. They were among the first settlers at Southold. { Taken from the book } Genealogy of the Swasey Family, by Benjamin Franklin Swasey - 1910 - and Southold Town Records. Most of his descendants that still live on Long Island spell the name, Swezey. It appears that this spelling started about the same time as Sweezy and Sweesy. There are different opinions about when John Swasey died.
