Jonathan W. Swindall was born in the City of Macon, Georgia, on the 11th of April, 1831, a son of Andrew and Panina (WARD) Swindall, both natives of Virginia and representatives of families that immigrated to America from England in the Colonial days and that settled in the historic Old Dominion.
In 1859, when abut twenty-eight years of age, Jonathan W. Swindall removed from Georgia to Texas, but in 1861 he returned to his old home in Georgia, where he remained until the close of the Civil War. He had received excellent educational advantages and after the termination of the great conflict between the states of the North and the South he engaged in teaching school in Louisiana. There he remained until 1872, when he returned to Texas, in which state he continued his labors as a successful and popular representative of the pedagogic profession for nearly a quarter of a century, his retirement from this vocation having occurred in 1895, when he established his home on a farm in Kaufman County, that state. In 1886 he became superintendent of the first high school established at Terrell, Texas, and the total period of his service as a teacher comprised forty-five years. He and his wife still reside on their fine homestead farm, their marriage having been solemnized November 5, 1857. (Chicago, New York: The American Historical Society, 1916).Vol. 5, p. 1906-1907
