I am still brickwalled on my Captain Shubael Swain of Mass, who moved into NYC and married Sally Turner; his children were Shubael Edgar, Sarah Ann, and Valentine, and possibly two unknown girls. I have found, through all of my research, that he fits perfectly the Lydia Ellis Ebenezer Swain family, except that the Folger Collections say that he and a brother died at sea in 1808; I would like to find out how to prove or disprove this. He looked like Robert Burns. His son, Valentine moved to Ohio, and some of his children moved to Kansas City, Mo, and the Captain, after his wife died, moved up there and died there- no burial record. Sarah's body was shipped temporarily to Newburgh, NY, but did not stay there and I dont' know where she went. I wonder if she was part of the Nantucket group that moved to Easton, on the Hudson. Any one have any knowledge or suggestions? Sue
