My Sweeney's are all of ca 1750 to mid 1800's in Liberty and Casey County KY, and moved to Washington County, KY. They originated in NY, 1750's...then to VA... To find more on my Sweeney's please visit my Master Site which works as an extension of list work for me- I'm responding cuz you folks are slow to respond in this list. Best of Luck!

Mike, I'd appreciate it if you could look for John Sweeney, with wife Ann Jane (nee Devine) and daughter Mary E Sweeney. Mary was born 15 Aug 1863 and christened 19 Aug in County Cork. I believe that the family came over while Mary was a small child. Best wishes Ralph P Carpenter great-grandson of Mary

Mike: Merry Christmas to you too. I don't intend to bother you by asking for a lookup, but I would like to ask where you found all those lists. I've just finished going through the Rootsweb collection of ships' lists looking for New York Sweeneys, but I'm almost sure that the people I'm looking for were here before 1863. My mother had an Uncle Tim Sweeney on Staten Island. He was living on Barker Street when I knew him. Next I found in an 1886 Staten Island directory that there was a Timothy Sweeney on Barker Street back in those days. He wasn't the Uncle Tim I knew, who would have been about 10 or so in 1886 whereas the chap in the directory was working as a gardener and seems to have been a head of household. Finally, I discovered a Timothy Sweeney on Staten Island in the 1860 census; he may be the gardener from the 1886 directory, but he's not in your compilation of immigrants. I couldn't find any Timothy among the Sweeneys aboard the ships that Rootsweb has put online so far. I strongly suspect that this gardener chap was my great-grandfather, so I'd like to track him down, if possible. Here's all I know about him: My grandfather, Jim Sweeney, was Uncle Tim's older brother. According to the 1920 census their father was born in Ireland, and that's all it says about him--not even his name. I can't find him on my grandfather's birth record, because there are none preserved for Staten Island in 1869 when my grandfather was born. I could try a baptismal record, except that the parish that the family always used (including me) wasn't established until my grandfather was five years old. So can you give me some tips on other sources of immigrant ships? Seems to be my best bet as things stand at present. Thanks very much. Jim Donnelly Hyattsville, Maryland

Dear listers, I have searched, over the past year, for my Grandfathers (Michael SWEENEY) ship that brought him to the U.S. In doing so I made a data base of all the Sweeneys that I found, about 250 SWEENEYS. I found one possibility out of all those names. I am still searching for a while longer. Sooooo I have these names and am willing to look up your SWEENEY. Here are the dates I have: Feb - Jul 1863, Mar - Dec 1864, Jan - Dec 1865 and Jan - Apr 1866. I only ask that you have GOOD reason to believe that they came over between 1863 and 1866. The family rumor is that Michael came over between these dates and he was born in 1849. Therefore he would have been 14 and 17 years old. Contrary to general belief, ships list do not give the town are county they came from, only Ireland. It does contain the date of arrival to New York, name of ship, name of person/s and age. I'm still working on 1863 which should a few more weeks. Merry Xmas Mike Sweeney

Hi there- Just put an old photo up at my site...It was in the McLain family possession and is totally unidentifiable. It is a group under a tree in probably early to mid 1800 dress. Anyone who might know, I would sincerely appreciate what your educated guesses are. Also, I have NO idea who the families are but the collatoral lines in this time were: McLAIN, STALLINGS, SWEENEY, HALL, PHILLIPS, PEAK, LEAMAN, BEALL, MAGRUDER, BEAM. The area is very likely Marion, Nelson or Washington County, KY but some moved on to Topeka, Kansas also. The photo is at my master site listed below, just under the photo at the top... If any are interested in viewing.

I am looking for any information on Calvin Swinney who married Elizabeth Parrish in Rutherford County, Tennessee Nov. 20, 1849. He is listed in the 1850 Tennessee census as being in Rutherford county. Age shown as 25, born in TN, wife Elizabeth age 22, born in TN. Also in the household is Narcissa Barker age 35, female born in TN, and Alfred Smith age 20, male, occupation plasterer. Calvin's occupation is shown as "plasterer". Elizabeth's parents, Jesse, a brickmason age 47, born in NC, and Frances Parrish age 45, born in VA. live near them. Also living near them is a Thomas G. Swiney, age 30, born in KY, a saddler, and wife Julia age 25, born in KY, and child Zacharia F. Swiney age 1, born in TN. Unable to connect them. Calvin is in Henry county in 1860 census, with wife and 4 sons and 2 daughters. Also in household is a Sarah Lathem age 65. I would like any info on ancestors or descendents. I am trying to tie him to my gggrandfather John Swiney. Family lore has it that John had a brother named "Cal. Claudie Swiney Magnolia, TX 77354

I have been trying to get more information about these Sweenys. They are my g-grand parents. Cornelius( Neal ) Sweeny was born in Scotland about 1810. Mary nee Hiskins Sweeny was born about 1808 in England, perhaps in Hinckley, Leicester. They came from Ireland to the USA with daughter Annie about 1854 to live in Philadelphia, Pa. A daughter Sarah was born about 1855 and my grandmother Cecilia was born in 1860. Thank you, Ceil

Interesting on the Hugh Sweeney's mentioned in the prior to emails. The 1860 Latrobe Borough, Westmoreland County PA census lists Hugh Sweney age 50 (born @1810 in Ireland Unity (nee Devers, also known as Dever, Diver, Divers, etc) age 40 born in Ireland Edward 8 Cecilia 5 Mary 4 I have 'lost' this family and can supply no further details on the Sweney side. I have limited info on the Unity Devers side. Unity's parents were Edward Devers @1775-1869 and Unity 1790-1862. Edward and family arrived in the USA on Dec 21, 1811 on the USS Mariner from Londonderry to New London CT. Edward was believed to be from the County Donegal.

Most of the Sweeney's I have heard of in 4 years on the internet, are from Donegal...I am pretty sure they are somehow related. The clan was I believe very close knit, as they were part of the Pictish Nation of Scotland, who became extinct (My line...not proud of it), around 900 a.d. I believe they had strong ties...if we could just tap into where the records were kept...or what sources may be available. I'll bet Ireland has something. I have looked through a few of the books in the Los Angeles Mormon Library...there must be others. My research is extensive, but this is the most interesting part of it to me. The Scottish heritage. I am Scottish also through the Magruder line mostly found around Neslon County, and that is what my work, From Liberty to Bardstown is all about. How the Sweeney's and Magruders ended up in Kentucky at the beginning of it's formation...around the 1780's. I know there are publications at that library, but they are not to check out, and it is 2 hours from here... unless there is no traffic...then a little less. I still have constraints...so cannot get to them. Does anyone have connections over the pond who could recommend published record books?

I am looking for a Hugh Sweeney born in New York, might be Ontario co. He was born sometime from 1816 to 1820. Parents unknown. His father could of been Hugh Sweeney who died at the Glass Factory in Ontario co. NY. Obit from the Geneva Gazette--Feb 12, 1823. Hugh Sweeney about 45, died Feb 7,1823 at the Glass Factory My Hugh Sweeney came to Richmond twp, Macomb Co, Michigan. He married Jane Reynolds from New Jersey. 20 June 1852 in St Clair co, Michigan. He named one of his daughter Sarah Jane Sweeney but called her Sadie. My husband's line. Joan Pathic Sweeney

My William Sweeney was the son of John Sweeney and Ida Alice Whitcomb and was probably born in Iroquois Co., Illinois. His mother left his father about 1892 and moved to McDonald Co., Missouri where she married Henry Asa Herring. In the 1910 Federal Census William is shown with his mother (by then divorced from her 3rd husband, James White) in Jasper County, Missouri and he, too is shown as "divorced". I cannot find him after the 1910 Federal Census. His sister (my grandmother, Amanda Edith Sweeney Herring) married Frank Farris and died in 1917. He also had a half brother, George Herring and half sister, Katherine Viola Rachel Herring. Does anyone know what happened to William?

Looking for any connection to Sarah Sweeney who came from Gola Island, Donegal, which is off the coast of Gweedore. I do know there alots of family out there, have found many already. Her parents were: Hugh Sweeney and Mary Diver, Hugh was from the Fanad area of Donegal, they had a large family. Sarah married here in the states, probably NJ to John Kelly, as my father who is their first child was born in Bayonne. John is from Ballinasloe, Galway. Have been to Gola and Gweedore and meet up with many of my cousins there. Lorraine Kelly Conroy

Hi. I have just joined Sweeney-L with the hope of finding some information on my Sweeney realitives. My Sweeney's are from Limerick County, Ireland. My Greatgrandfather Thomas Sweeney b. 1860 d.1930 had a large farm in a village called Fahnliane in Castlemahon parish (not far from Newcastle West). He married Ellen Quirke b.1878 d.1920, the daughter of a Protestant Minister from England. They had 10 children. Catherine (married name Reidy) was my Grandmother, she was born in 1896 and died in 1982. Her brothers and sisters were: Delia (Holmes), Joan (Leahy), Ann (Phelan), Michael, William, Molly (O'Connell), Ellen (Buckley), Elizabeth and Ita. If any of these names are familliar or if you have Sweeneys in the Newcastle West area, I would really enjoy hearing from you. Angela Bartels

Hi Everyone, Below is the link for the FamilyHart database. I noticed a few SWEENEYs and SWEENYs listed. They welcome additions however I think the additions must be relatives of those already listed. The explanation is on the first page of the website. Check it out! Regards, ~Colleen O'Byrne "The September update of the FamilyHart online database was completed at noon today [Mon. Sept. 18, 2000]. Aproxamately [sic] 35,000 names were added since our last update bringing the online database to over 238,000 names.

Hello Everyone, I'm researching William and Mary WATERS SWEENEY, born in Co. Donegal, emigrated to the US and settled in the Summit Hill, Mauch Chunk, Carbon Co. area of Pennsylvania. They were born approximately the 1820-1830s as one of their children was born in 1851. They had three daughters, but I only know one first name so far: Mary SWEENEY, born June 7, 1851, Summit Hill, PA, was my great great Grandmother. Another daughter of William and Mary (above) married Charles Lanning and moved to Denver, Colorado. I don't know anything about the third daughter or if they had other children. Mary SWEENEY (above paragraph) married Frank DEVERS on October 21, 1870, and settled in Allentown, Lehigh Co., PA. I'm just beginning to delve into this area of my family. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Luckily I live close enough that I can perhaps visit area churches, etc. All the Best, Colleen O'Byrne Mixed Nuts: http://www.uftree.com/UFT/WebPages/ColleenMOByrne/CAILIN/index.htm

Does anyone have a record of an Arthur Ray Sweeney/Campbell marriage in Monroe,La (Ouchita Parish)? This would have been early 1900s. Thanks, Karen Moore Kerr PS I do not receive many messages from the Sweeneys either. Surely the Sweeneys are no less interested in their ancestry than any other surnames descendents.

I hope this is an active list as I have a query for it. John G. SWEENEY born 1830 in KY (as per census) married 10-5-1853 in Putnam county IN Rutha M. BRADSHAW [email protected] [email protected] They had 3 children: 1.Alonzo b. 11-7-1854 in Putnam county IN and died 3-1-1859 in Putnam county IN 2.Harriet Elizabeth b.11-19-1855 she married Thomas Jefferson Jones on 9-14-1873 in Putnam county IN. She died 8-12-1918, there were 13 children of this union. 3.Margaret born about 1859 and no other data. After Rutha's death John G. SWEENEY married 9-9-1860 in Putnam county IN Lucy Ann WRIGHT b.11 of 1841 d. 5-19-1868 They had 3 children: 1. Harrison SWEENEY(I have no data on) 2. Hester Hains SWEENEY b. 3-6-1865 in Putnam county IN died 1889. No other data. 3. Hatty Hains SWEENEY b. 3-6-1865 d. 3-12-1865 I believe this to be a twin of Hester. The above children along with John and his 2nd wife are buried in Long Branch Cemetery in Putnam county IN. After the death of the second wife John G. SWEENEY married on 3-2-1869 in Putnam county IN Nancy Frank SCARBOROUGH b. 1837 d. 1914 She and John also had 3 children: 1. Andrew b.1873 no other data 2. Ethel b. 1881 no other data 3. Daisy b. about 1888 no other data I do know that these 3 children were born in Putnam county IN. Nancy is buried under the same stone as John in the Long Branch Cemetery. I am most interested in finding any info on John's parents. He was born in KY but his parents were from NC. John is also listed in the 1860 Putnam county census with the surname spelling of SWANEY.
