Settled in Pennsylvania following the war.The Johannes Schwalm Historical Society was formed to identify and catalog as many of the men as possible who were mercenaries for England during the Revolutionary War, and who ended up remaining in this country following that war.
The inscription on his tombstone reads as follows: Hier Ruhet Johann Schwalm/ Geboren Den 31 May 1752/ Starb Den 24 December 1834/ Alt 89 Jahre 6 Monat 24 Tag.
He was a member of the Hesse-Cassel von Knyphausen Regiment, in the Leib Company.
