It is not confirmed yet when she was born. Some records point to a birth year of about 1624-1625.
Her maiden name is often listed as Ward; however the U.S. New England Marriages Prior to 1700 lists her as the widow of Josiah Ward. Her daughter, Elizabeth married a Josiah Ward before marrying David Ogden, so perhaps someone confused the mother and daughter.
Records, if they are accurate, point to Johannah (Joanna, Johanna) marrying Samuel Edison around 1648-1649. Their eldest daughter, Elizabeth, is listed as being born in May 1649.
Joanna and Samuel Swaine, with their seven daughters (an eighth daughter died in 1655) were among the first thirty families that arrived in Newark on 18 May, 1666. It is said that Elizabeth Swaine , the Swaines’ seventeen year old eldest daughter, was the first to land on the shore, having been merrily handed up the bank by her gallant fiancé, Josiah Ward, in his ambition to secure for her the mark of priority. Her "landing" is depicted on one side of the Founder's Monument in Fairmount Cemetery.
