Who is Swainson?

Should this be reflected in the article? The Audubon Society Encyclopedia of North American Birds states that this bird was "discovered by the Rev. John Bachman in S.C. in 1832 and described and named by [John James] Audubon for his friend William Swainson, English ornithologist of early 19th century."
