Philip SWIRE was the third son of Roger SWIRE and Frances Lydia COX. He was born 02 December 1828 at Lenox Estate in St. George’s Parish, in eastern Jamaica.

Family oral history states that he was sent to England (likely for his education) at the age of 10 and remained there until age 17, which would have been between 1837 and 1844. After returning to Jamaica, he then came to the United States at the age of 19, going first to Nacogdoches, Texas. He was married to Anna C. KEAN on 12 April 1858 in New Orleans, Louisiana at the residence of C. S. HEDGES, the rector of St. Luke’s Church.

The Philip SWIRE family is recorded in the 1860 U. S. Census in Galveston, Texas as follows:
1860 Texas Census, Galveston County, Galveston - Ward 2, June 21, 1860, Page 473
Dwelling #611-613 (Boarding House)
SWIRE, P. - age 27, male, white, Merchant, born West Indies
SWIRE, Mary - age 22, female, white, born NY
SWIRE, Lola - age 3, female, white, born LA
SWIRE, Mary - age 2 months, female, white, born TX
Four months after that census was taken, Philip purchased land in Louisiana. This land purchase was recorded in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana on 01 October 1860. After the land purchase, Philip likely remained in Texas, as he served with a Galveston unit with the Confederacy during the Civil War. His military service was with Company B, 1st Texas Heavy Artillery, also known as Cook’s Regiment. He was severely wounded at the Battle of Shiloh (Tennessee).
By the 1870 U. S. Census, the Philip Swire’s were living in Louisiana:
1870 Louisiana Census, West Baton Rouge Parish, Post Office: Baton Rouge, Page 268A, Sept. 7, 1870
Dwelling #192-192
SWIRE, Philip - age 42, male, white, Farmer, $30,000 real estate value/$3,300 personal estate value - born West Indies, parents of foreign birth

WALKER, Elizabeth - age 20, 30 or 50 (hard to read), female, black, Domestic Servant, born Louisiana
WALKER, John - age 10, male, black, Domestic Servant, born Louisiana
It was likely during the 1880’s when family history states that Philip SWIRE’s gardens/farm harvested so much produce (to supply to steamboats), that the boys could be remembered by their sister Fannie as “complaining” about all the work.
The Philip SWIRE family has not yet been located in the 1880 U. S. Census, but is found in 1900 as follows:
1900 Louisiana Census, East Baton Rouge Parish
Dwelling #186-195
SWIRE, Philip - Dec. 1827 — married 38 years
SWIRE, Anna C. — Un 1840 — 60 — 12 children, 3 living
SWIRE, Roger P. — June 1874 — 25
SWIRE, Sterling B. — Apr 1882
In the census above, Anna KEAN SWIRE is listed as having had twelve children, and only three are living. Her known children are: Lola SWIRE, Mary SWIRE, Walter John SWIRE, Fred SWIRE, Frances “Fannie” SWIRE, Tezora Maria Ritchie SWIRE, Roger Philip SWIRE, Harry Kean SWIRE, Archibald James Bakewell SWIRE, Stirling Bayless SWIRE, and two unnamed children, one of which was stillborn in 1873.
Philip SWIRE died on 23 January 1912 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. After Philip’s death, his widow Anna resided in Slaughter, East Feliciana Parish, LA. She died on 09 August 1927 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Today there is a SWIRE Avenue in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but its connection, if any, to the Philip SWIRE family, is not known.
