Biography
Abigail Swain, daughter of Richard Swain, was born in Nantucket 7 Feb 1684.[1]
Abigail was about two years old when her family resettled from Nantucket to Cape May, Province of West Jersey.
Abigail Swain married John Buck and in 1712 they had a daughter, Mary Buck.[citation needed] Mary Buck married Hope Willetts (Willits) whose parents, it appears, emigrated from England to Cape May. From Cape May, Hope and Mary Buck Willetts relocated to Lockwoods Folly or the Town Creek area of Brunswick County, North Carolina, sometime during the 1730s. Abigail's brother, Jonathan Swain, relocated to the same area in 1731 and they may have journeyed together.
