LSIT SWIFT9

CWIFT. like the German schneil, Is
- surname that is derived from
the word meaning swift, and Is
undoubtedly surname originally
given as description OF the-personal
attribute OF speed. The name was
written Swift originally, and Is so
found in old records. The spelling
sWifte is occasionally found even at
the present time, but this IS a varia-
ton that shows no difference IN
origin.
N some Of the early settlers left their
native land because they sought re-
lgious liberty, others because they
sought economic conditions, many be-
cause Of a sheer love OF change and
adventure, but James Swift. the
founder Of large branch Of the
family IN this country. came TO the
new world because he couldn't get
on with his stepmother.
First he enlisted in the British
army and when England and France
went to var in 1855 he was sent to
North America TO help fight the
French in Canada. he was with
Wolfe at Quebec and was wounded
On the Plains OF Abraham. But
England. James remained in this
country because he had met and loved
Melitable MerWln at Wallinglord.
Connecticut They married and had
zen children who established one or
the largest connections Of Swift to
this country Other SWifts had come
and settled here as early as 1920 and
there is a large Philadelphia family
OF the name that traces back to
English ancestors in Buckingham
England.
The SWifts seem TO be more numer-
Gus here than in England and 20 be
more Influential There have been
jurists among them. naval officers
and army officers a senator, a noted
surgeon, IN educator, a rich merchant
and among scientists a concholoEist

MASH IS one o. the few interesting
~ names that exist to remind Ms OF
the old English use OF the prepo-
sition atten. meaning at the. John,
who lived in a grove OF oaks, was
called John atten Oaks TO distinguish
him from the other John, who lived
In an ash grove. who was known as
John atten Ash. Eventually the first
John and his defendants became
known as Noaks and the other John
and his posteritv took the name OF
Nash. This is not merely the theo-
rizing OF some Imaginative geneal0-
gist, but the sober truth. as the older
forms Atten Ash and Atten Oaks ere
still found In old records Some
times the name is written Nashe- but
this is not usual
A trait OF character that seems TO
have been early attributed 20 the
Nash family was faithfulness and
fidelity In utroque fidelis, is a
motto they often use and the emblem
Of greyhound is frequently found IN
their coat OF arms. and the greyhound
Is the representation OF 1aithfulness.
There were several first settlers Of
the name In this country. One OF the
most interesting was James Nash
who came 90 this country before the
revolution. He received an annual IN
come from England Of 5000 pounds
which was sent after his death 20 his
son. 1t was discontinued after the
revolution. Many have been the
theories as TO the source Of this in
come but there seems 90 be nothing
definitely known save that 10 was
yearly received.
The name is strong in south. where
there was an Abner Nash who was
governor OF North Carolina. while his
brother Francis Nash was a close
associate Of Copyright.
