Transcriber's Notes:
Tyrrell County marriage bonds show the marriage of Uriah Swain to Fanny Tweedy on 3 Jan 1833.
The 1850 Census of Tyrrell County shows the household of Frances Swain (39), Mary E. Swain (15), David T. Swain (7) and Ferrebbee F. Swain (8). There is another household with Job S. Swain (38), Frances Swain (35), Nathan Swain (14), William Swain (6), Amelia Brickhouse (20) and Sarah Swain (7 mo). There is a marriage bond for Job A. Swain to Fanny Etheridge on 4 Mar 1844, Benjamin Brickhouse security, so the second census record may be showing a second marriage.
See the 1833 estate papers of Jesse Swain, father of Uriah Swain.
