Clara,
I have come across your Thomas Swift in my research of my ggg-grandfather Hugh Swift, b.in Kentucky about 1814, married in Morgan Co., Indiana in 1834, came to Missouri in the late 1830s.His wife, Irena/Orrena Stepp was from Monroe County, IN.I have circumstantial evidence that his parents were Elias and Jane/Jinny (Hays/Hayes) Swift who had land in Monroe and Putnam Co., IN, in the 1820s.
"History of the Counties of Morgan, Monroe and Brown, Indiana, 1884" by Charles Blanchard, Ed., says on page 695: "Thomas Swift, 65, awarded cane at Goshen, Brown Co. in 1881, Reunion of "old Settlers Ass."Thismatches the dob of your Thomas.
The Indiana State Library database of marriages at:
http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/indiana/genealogy/mirr.htmlhttp://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/indiana/genealogy/mirr.html
has Thomas Swift m. Elizabeth Dickerson, Brown Co., 6 Aug 1840.The LDS IGI has the marriage "Abt. 1866 of Hamblen, Brown, Indiana".A Hannah Swift married Daniel J. Prosser in Brown Co. on 2 May 1842.
I think it's possible that your Thomas, Hannah, and my Hugh Swift were siblings.Other suspected siblings of Hugh are Mary (Swift) Johnston, George W. Swift, and Nancy (Swift) Newberry, who all ended up in SW Missouri.Also another male Swift possibly dead by 1850 leaving behind some orphaned children in Missouri by 1850.
Tell me more about Thomas (via private email if you wish).
Thanks,
-- Gary Swift
