Two other trusses appear if you continue SE down the shoreline. They seem to in use as docks. Nice that they weren't scrapped. Now, who can figure out where they originated?
The swing span appears to still exist in Bing and Google aerial views on the Eastern shore. Follow Wharf Landing Drive to the Southeast.

The photo link above shows concrete panels possibly from the deck as well.
The bridge referenced is indeed the swing span from the old Chowan River bridge, confirmed by the property owner.
My guess as to the structures east of this location is that they came from the old railroad bridge and highway bridge across the sound, replaced by the current route 32 bridge.
