I'm not an expert on Swain genealogy. Do you know when your Mary Swain was born? I just quickly searched and found https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Swain-3215. Does that match the information you have? Kevin Ireland (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ireland-1445) will probably offer you the most helpful information.
