 Jonathan Belcher: Governor in the Emerging Trilateral Center

Halifax's period of greatest activity was 1750-1754, when he intimidated local colonial politicians by proposing wide-sweeping measures for overhauling the administration of the American colonies and frightened colonials accustomed to believing their own version of the British constitution--that colonial assemblies were on a legislative parity with the British Parliament.
The colonial assemblies were to elect the members of this representative council, and unlike Bladen's bicameral Plantation Parliament, Franklin's Grand Council was to function as a unicameral legislature, whose acts were subject to the veto of the (Crown-appointed) President General.

They constituted the General Court -the supreme court of the Colony and also had legislative functions as members of the upper house of the Assembly, corresponding somewhat to our senate.

In August 1639, the Swedish government, needing settlers for its New Sweden colony, sent word to the governors of Elfsborg, Dalsland and Värmland to capture deserted soldiers and others who had committed some slight misdemeanor and to send them to America.
It was not surprising, therefore, that Sven Gunnarsson was one of the 22 freemen signing a petition of grievances which they submitted to Governor Printz in the summer of 1653.
Relying on the self-styled historian, Betty Cosans-Zebooker, the recent book The Buried Past; An Archaeological History of Philadelphia (1992), pages 33 and 222, states that the three Swanson brothers were sons of Sven Skute, whose 1653 patent from Queen Christina embraced their land at Wicaco.
