John Swaggerty lived in Cocke County, Tn. he is on the 1830 Cocke Co. Census. He is listed as living 1 house away from his brother James on land that Fredrick gave them. John married Phebe Potter 7-23-1798 in Greene Co., Tn. The only Potter in the area of the right age that could have been Phebe's father was one Thomas Potter. The fact that Thomas Potter was probably Phebe's father and that there is a Thomas Potter Swaggerty lead me to believe that Thomas Potter Swaggerty is one of the children of John & Phebe. Other children of John and Phebe are probably: Pineas, John, Abraham,
Cynthia, Margaret Daniel L.
Abraham is listed with his 1st cousin Surving Harvey Swaggerty as chain cariers for a survey of James Swaggerty's property in
1826, this survey also lists the property as bordering John Swaggerty's property.
