Swatts Family of Chester Co. Penn.

My father's brother was named Walter Swatts.My father's family lived in South Georgia.
The earliest Swatts I could find in a census record was in Pennsylvania in 1790.There was also a Swatts on the 1790 census in Newberry, South Carolina.
I have read that there were many German emigrants landing in Philadelphia and then moving on to South Carolina.
I think our family came from Bavaria, the section of Germany of which Munich is the largest city.
I wonder whether we could possibly have any connection.There are so few Swatts!
