Note Concerning John Swan of Cambridge:

History of Cambridge "John the first was brought up in the family of Thomas Bittlestone, who provided by his will 3 Nov 1640 that his wife Elizabeth should be served by his boy John Swan, and should then pay him five pounds. He died Jun 5 1708 a. 87." He married Rebecca Palfry Jan 1 1651.

I think this statement speaks for itself.
