According to the Swarthout Chronicles, he was baptised 22 October 1699 at the Dutch Reformed Church at Kingston.
"on May 22 (1756), Anthony Swartwout, Philip's cousin, was attacked at his home (by Indians) in Walpack. His wife was shot dead on her way to the spring. Anthony and three of his children were herded into line and marched off toward the Delaware. The other children were killed before they left the house. Near Swartwout Pond, Anthony was tied to a tree, tortured and scalped before his children's eyes. A little further, the younger girl, unable to keep pace, was dispatched. The other children, a girl of twelve and a boy of nine, were ferried across the river on a raft of rails a mile or two below the Walpack churck, and taken to the Susquehanna.
Later, it developed that a white man who had worked for Swartwout and who had a grudge against him, had set the Indians up to the massacre...
Later Swartwout's son made his escape and identified (Benjamin) Springer as the white man who had persuaded the Indians to torture and scalp his father. Springer was tried and hung by New Jersey for this crime.
Following the offer of a bounty for Indian scalps, men went after them in hunting parties. They tramped through the woods of Pennsylvania as far west as the Susquehanna, burning every Indian village they came to." (1)

Indian Attacks
Added by MaryannehMiller on 15 Jun 2008
1756 A Pert Amboy story of 19 August 1756, reported "from the northern frontier that Abraham VanAUKEN, Esq., who lived on the present Port Jervis Country Club property, was shot and wounded by an Indian while driving his team with a load of grain. Riding on the load was Van AUKEN's daughter. The father yelled for her to run for her life and as she fell off the wagon the Indian caught up and was attacking her when the old man rushed at him with a pitchfork and drove him away. Three men --- Geradrus SWARTWOUT, Samuel FINCH and Peter WESTPHALN, were found murdered, stripped and scalped.
Then Major SWARTWOUT was Slain. On 29 March 1757, the WESTFALL barn had been burned with 24 cows, 9 horses and 400 bushels of grain." On 2 May, Jacob VanCAMP and Peter BRINK were slain. On 9 November John DOTY and Otho MAHURIN were killed. The next day, Gideon WESTBROOK was killed near Brink Fort. The following day, John PRESSER. On 15 May 1758, Nicholas COLE's four children and three Germans were slain by the Indians. Cornelius WESTBROOK and Abraham WESTBROOK were killed 8 June 1758. On 12 June, Bastian CORTRIGHT and Mary KIRKENDALL; and on 13 June, eight men at Urian WESTFALL's. These were but a few of the deaths reported during the Indian Wars of 1755-1763. *******

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Antoni by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Antoni:
Good observation. None of these profiles has good sources, but it is evident that there is some conflation/confusion of the two Anthony Swartwouts (father and son). I think we can safely say that Elizabeth Armstrong was not born in 1700 and that she did not marry the elder Anthony Swartwout.
ADDED: I removed Elizabeth's connection to the elder Antony Swartwout.
