United Irishmen

SWANTON, ROBERT – ‘Conway [ see JOHN AND HENRY SHEARES, above] and [ROBERT] SWANTON [1759-1840], both Cork men, were very actively engaged. Conway was a watchmaker, and one of the Directory of Cork. Both he and his friend SWANTON were arrested and sent to Cork jail, where Conway lost his health, and offered the government ‘useful information’ for his liberty.’

‘SWANTON, who lived near Dunmanway, escaped to America, where he became a judge. He returned to this county, two or three years ago, no doubt a far wiser man than he left it.’ (‘History’ of the County and City of Cork,’ C.B. Gibson, 1874)
