"History of Thomas County, Georgia"
From newspaper article:
"On July 6, 1855, Walsh, a slave belonging to Major E.R. Young was being hung in Thomasville. During the excitement Augustus C. Swain got into an altercation with Mr. William Barwick and killed him by stabbing. Green Johnson having come in for discussion as assisting in the killing.
Swain was placed in jail but before trial escaped by means of a key made by a gunsmith, living near old McDONALD. At Montgomery, John Swain who was accompanying his brother whom he resembled was arrested but was released as soon as he demonstrated that he didn't fit Gus Swain's description. The two brothers located in Texas and several mornings thereafter were accosted by Gen. L.E. Blackshear who moved to Texas because he thought Thomas County overcrowded. This was hint enough that the fugitives were not far enough from home. They moved and Gus became sheriff of his county but was afterwards killed by Indians. In 1898, John Swain visited Thomasville and discussed fully with Col. A.T. MacIntyre and Judge Hansell, the only two acquaintances he could find, the brother's experiences."
William was named administrator for the estate of John Whittle, Sarah's father on April 4, 1837.
