Notes for Luke Swain:
Owner of the schooner William, registered in Wilmington in 1787 which transported slaves from Africa to NC."Nor were there many merchants regularly involved in the trade, which appears to have been casual rather than systematic. Luke Swain of Ch arleston is one of the few (being both master and shipowner) who participated more regularly."
