JOHN L. SWINK, farmer; P. O. Red Lion; was born in Augusta Co., Va., July 14, 1836. His father, Enos J. Swink, was born in Virginia, April 7, 1811. and his mother in the same State, June 30, 1814. They were both descendants of English families who emigrated to America at an early day.

He was married to Miss Orphia Lincoln, daughter of Isaac and Mary (Seaman) Lincoln, natives of Warren County, where Mrs. Swink was born on the 17th of August, 1836.
