Perhaps the image of a pioneering aviator assuaged any concerns Huldah's parents had about their new son-in-law.

He built an aircraft simulator for use in flight training. Investors or his new wife's money allowed him to indulge in the life of an aviation pioneer. Swan seems to have been employed by manufacturers to flight test or ferry aircraft from their factories. She had their son, John Wellington Swan, in seclusion in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, on 17 April 1930. Her marriage to Swan was announced on September 6, and they were married in a big society wedding on October 30 at her parent's home in Cumberland, Maryland. But by August she found out she was pregnant. Huldah was sent on a trip to the Park Regency Hotel in London in April-May 1929, chaperoned by her aunt, possibly to separate her from Swan. He told her that he was William Gaylord Swan, son of the deceased but prominent Colonel William Swan of Atlanta. Somehow he met Huldah, the granddaughter of Senator George Lewis Wellington of Maryland. Soon after the birth of his son he disappeared from the lives of Marguerite and Richard. He later claimed to have been a barnstormer, parachutist, and Hollywood stunt pilot, but there is no evidence for this. Somehow during these six years he learned to fly, mastered aircraft construction, and evidently assumed genteel manners. Six years later, on May 23, 1928, a son, Richard Liston Stinchcomb was born to the same couple. He fathered a stillborn daughter with Marguerite Liston, a government clerk, on September 13, 1922. Not long after release he shows up in Washington D.C., under the slightly altered name of John William Stinchcomb. He may have served 18 months on a Georgia chain gang for grand theft auto from August 23, 1919. Perhaps his true age was discovered, or there were disciplinary problems. He served aboard the newly-commissioned battleship USS Nevada but was discharged on August 4, 1917, after only 120 days of duty. Lying about his age, he enlisted at age 14 with the US Navy on November 11, 1916.

He left home and his family before becoming a teenager and they never heard from him again. The only boy among five sisters, he was already listed as a farm hand for his illiterate father at the age of 8. Swan was born William Dewey Stinchcomb on a farm in Jackson County, Georgia, on May 19, 1902. Where had he come from? Where did he go? It was only in the 21st Century through DNA testing that the life story of Swan was revealed. At Boca Chica it was said people were waiting at the other side of the border to take him to a new life in Mexico. He appeared out of nowhere and married into a prominent Maryland family in 1929. But who was Swan? He only seemed to have existed for four years. He disappeared into the clouds and was never seen again. Then, in 1933, he bailed from an aircraft over Boca Chica, Texas, now the site of the SpaceX Starship launch facility, in an attempted manned rocket backpack flight. He made the first air-launched rocketplane flight in 1932. He appeared in newspapers and newsreels around the nation, declaring that rocketplanes would soon take passengers on transatlantic flights at 500 mph. History says that the first American rocket-powered aircraft flight was made by William Swan at Atlantic City, New Jersey, on June 4, 1931.
