Some show (4840) Richard's father as John Swain, others as William Swain, Baronet; but none cite primary sources. One of the "William" claimants cites: "Of others using the name Swayne, Swain or Swaine, who came to New England early were: William, mentioned by Savage as "William Swain, Gentlemen", born 1585, came to Watertown, Massachusetts in 1635: was afterward one of a commission sent to govern the colony of Connecticut. A William Swain was in Branford[, New Haven, CT] after 1636. Jeremiah Swain was at Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1638 and one of the first settlers of Reading, Massachusetts. The third was our Great-Grandfather (4840) Richard Swayne who came to Rowley, Massachusetts in 1635. It is not known if there was any relationship between these three early settlers of New England... Richard Swain "was in line with William Swayne of Salisbury, England, who was granted the Coat-of-Arms, 20 June 1444, later confirmed by a descendant of the same name, of London, in 1612."
"[(4840) Richard Swain] and his son (2420) John, along with eight other men bought Nantucket Island in 1661 from (4754) Thomas Mayhew for 30 pounds silver and two beaver hats. He was fined 3 pounds and disenfranchised for being a Quaker 1659."
"A record of the births of the children of (4840) Richard Swayne are found in Easthampstead County, England:
"After (4840) Richard Swayne took his family to America in 1635, there seems to be no further family of that name living in Easthampstead for nearly 60 years." -- http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=cambridge77&id=I119 "Rychard Swayne records
"If anyone is interested, the following is a correspondence I had with the records office of Binfield Parish, England regarding records for a Rychard Swayne. "Thank you for your email of 11 December. We have an Index and Transcripts to the Baptism Registers of Binfield parish which I have searched. I found the following transcript:
"It was only from 1597 that the father's name was included in the baptism entry, e.g.
"It would therefore be speculation to assume that Rychard's father was William and that the above are siblings. I also searched our Personal Names index for Richard SWAIN/SWAYNE... I am sorry that I have not been able to find conclusive evidence for you." "Yours sincerely Robin Elliott, Archives Assistant "Berkshire Record Office

"...Elizabeth Basselle is oft listed as being born in 1605, I suspect from the reference to a record showing the age of Elizabeth Swayne as aged 30, citing Planter ship’s records … but in looking at Hotten & other works, I come up with…
"The reference to Elizabeth is always 20, not 30… where did the age 30, Planter, come from???" -- http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?binfield::swain::1082.html "In most instances the name Swayne or Swain(e) is derived from the Old Norse word sveinn which meant "boy, servant; peasant" depending on its use in the sentence. It came to England with Danes and Norwegians and was altered there to suein, suen, swan, etc. Svein was first used as a descriptive term before becoming a surname."

Haplogroup R1a1 is not widely found in the UK. It predominates in Eastern Europe, and significantly contributes to the yDNA pools of Norway, Iceland and Afganistan. In Britain, the greatest concentratios are in N. Scotland and E. Anglia; but the geographic distribution does not appear to be gnealogically significant; but these results to line up with the name origin being Old Norse. The Indo-European language family, which includes English and Gaelic, is thought to have been introduced to Western Europe by R1a1 men. R1a1 is also associated with the prevalence of red hair (caused by recessive genes).
