Biography
Johannes was born about 1674. He was the son of Tys Barentse Van Leerdam and Sytie Cornelius. He passed away about 1720. The Swaim family emigrated to America from Holland in 1661, although many believe they were not of Dutch stock, but were English Pilgrims sojourning in Holland, further research proves this to be false.
