Charles McSwain had been married first to Luraner Washburn. They had a large family with at least fifteen children. Shortly after her death in 1847, McSwain married Ms. Throckmorton, daughter of Thomas and Rosanna Wilkinson Throckmorton.
Their only child, Thomas Asbury McSwain, was born on November 8, 1848. Charles McSwain died on December 19, 1848.
In 1853, the widow McSwain married widower William Riley Upchurch, the son of Howell and Elizabeth Dudney Upchurch. On May 7, 1846, he had married Sarah Randall with whom he had a son, Osborne Howell Upchurch. Two days before Christmas 1852, his first wife died.
Sarah T. M. Upchurch was at least ten years older than her second husband. By him, she had two additional children: daughters Tempie Upchurch, who married Maston C. Blalock, and Lucy Upchurch.
On November 7, 1867, Thomas McSwain married Alice Ann "Aly" Carpenter, the daughter of Shelby Carpenter and Mariah Woodruff. Just as her husband was a descendant of an RW soldier, so was Mrs. McSwain: she was a descendant of Thomas Carpenter, DAR Ancestor Number A019535.
