Biography
Anne Swift was the daughter of Adam Swift and Martha Hopper. She was born between 1669 and 1675 when her mother died. Reportedly, Anne's marriage to James Perry wasn't agreeable to her father Adam or her first cousin Jonathan Swift, the writer. Jonathan even mentioned his dislike of James Perry in a letter, but Adam finally seemed to have settled the matter when he included Anne in his will. Anne and James Perry had six children: Swift Perry, Adam Perry, Martha Arnold, Joseph Perry, Jane Usher, and John Perry. She passed away in 1753 in Perrymount, County Down, Ireland. Her burial details are unknown. [1]
