Background

Biographical / historical:

The Swink family has a deeply rooted genealogical history in Rockbridge County, Virginia, tracking back to early migrations from nearby Augusta County, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Numerous branches of the family settled throughout the county's distinct districts, establishing ties to local Presbyterian churches and communities. Before any Swinks established permanent roots in Rockbridge County, they became prominent farmers in Augusta County, Virginia, particularly around Mint Springs and northern Augusta.
