I don't think that the Great Swamp is the same thing as Blighttown. Laurentius asks about Blighttown as if he's never heard of it before, and he's from the Great Swamp so you'd think he'd have some sort of recognition cue. Also, it's hinted that all the regions mentioned to be origins of the characters are really far away from Lordran, while Blighttown is more or less in Lordran.
