From "The Swanton Family History Worldwide" book:

George Swanton was born in Leixlib, County Kildare. His mother's name was Nancy Duke. He was the first of his family to emigrate, and he settled in Westchester NY with a wealthy family, where he worked as a butler or gentleman's gentleman. He met his wife there. She was from the Isle of Man. George did a stint in her Majesty's Royal Cavalry in Egypt and told fabulous stories about it.

2. George's sister married someone by the name of Lawrence in County Kildare, of (Salmon-Leap) Leixlip.

Second Generation
3. Gertrude mentioned a grandparent by the name of Noble. She came to reunion in Skibbereen, Ireland in 1979. She brought two guests with her: Richard and Ruth Weston of Encino, CA.
