Samuel Swindle was born about 1754 in Hyde County, North Carolina.  He died 
about 1807 in the same county.  Samuel is believed to have moved to Bladen 
County, North Carolina from Hyde County in the late 1700's.  Samuel Swindle 
married a lady named Mary.  Mary's last name is not known.  Samuel and Mary 
Swindle had children:

Willis Swindle
Samuel Swindle
Henry Swindle b. abt. 1776
James Swindle

Note:  Some indicate Samuel Swindle married Elanore Carawan who was born about 
1756 in Hyde County, North Carolina.  They say Elanore Carawan was the 
daughter of William Carawan and the mother of his children.
 
There is a document dated 07 Jun 1807 in Bladen County, North Carolina for a 
Samuel Swindall, which indicates that at the time of his death Samuel's wife 
was named Mary.  This document reads:  
 
"State of North Carolina
Bladen County
 
Know all men by these presents that Samuel Swindall Sen. of the County and 
State aforesaid planter for the love good will and affection which I have and 
do bare for my well beloved wife Mary Swindall and for divers other good 
causes and considerations me hereunto moving have given and granted and do by 
these presents do give and grant unto the said Mary Swindall during her 
natural life four negroes to wit: Nan Cuffo Salim and Lucy together with the 
third part of my stock and household furniture which negroes and other 
property after her death shall be equally divided between my four sons Viz: 
Willis, Samuel, Henry and James Swindall which property I the said Samuel 
Swindall do for myself my heirs executors administrators and assigns warrant 
and forever defend unto them their heirs and assigns as above directed against 
any lawfull claim or claims but be it remembered that the said Samuel Swindall 
will have the use of said property during my natural life the same as tho' 
this deed of gift had never been given and likewise be it remembered that the 
said Mary Swindall must not move the above mentioned property out of said 
County without the consent of my sons Viz: Willis, Samuel, Henry and James.
 
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 7th of June in 
the year of our Lord 1807.
 
                                  Samuel Swindall  (seal)
 
May Term 1808:  This deed was proved by John High and ordered to be registered.
 
                                  J.S. Purdie, C.C."
  
Since Samuel only gave one third of his property to his wife, Mary it can be 
assumed the other two thirds went to his sons.  Records indicate Samuel 
Swindall died in Hyde County about 1808.  It is not clear if Samuel Swindall 
is one in the same as the Samuel Swindell who married Eleanor Carawn by 1793 
in Hyde County, North Carolina but many researches say he is.  In the 1800 
North Carolina Census there were three Samuel Swindles listed, two in Bladen 
County, Sr. and Jr., and one in Hyde County.  This part of Bladen County later 
became Columbus County and in that County there is a Will dated 16 Aug 1824 
for Willis Swindal.
