* Pvt Richard Swift, born about 1845, most likely, Ashe, or Watauga Co., N.C., was the son of Thomas Swift and Lucinda Greene Swift.
Richard's parents, both born in N.C., were married February 24, 1844, Ashe County, N.C.
A 1860c, Watauga Co., N.C., lists Richard as being in the household of Thomas Swift and Lucinda Swift. At that time, his birth year, would have been about 1845, as his age being 15.
Two of Richards siblings, were brothers, J. Enoch and George W. Swift.

* Also, in the same census, 1860, a sister, Clarissa Swift, b. about 1850, was listed. She may have later had a son, Richard Davis, age 2, that showed up as living with her parents, in 1870c, Watauga Co., N.C. (could not locate her after the 1860c). The parents of Clarrisa, Thomas and Lucinda Swift, seemed to have raised Richard Davis (grandchild, as stated in a later census), until he was grown, or whatever. As of yet, I have not been able to complete a followup on him.
