Richard Swanton was born in Kilmacabea, County Cork, Ireland around 1830. His father was Richard Swanton (1798-1850) and his mother was Mary (maiden name unknown 1808-1850). He left for America with his parents Richard and Mary and his siblings in 1848 and settled in New Orleans, Louisianna. His siblings were Catherine, Mary, Ursula, Phillip, Elizabeth and Ann. He married Honora Donovan in New Orleans in 1852, and they had 8 children. This Richard died in 1863.
I would like to find out about Richard and his parents Richard and Mary Swanton. Any info concerning their marriage, the birth and baptism of their children would be appreciated. I have found a few Swantons in Kilmacabea in the Griffith's Valuation, but no Richard.
Any info would be appreciated.
