Catherine Sweeney was my great-great grandmother. She had a daughter Nellie Wilson, who was christened in the catholic church in Apalachicola, Florida in 1879. Her husband was John Wilson, and it was a second or third marriage for both of them. In that same town, in the 1850 census, there was a Patrick Sweeney from Ireland, with a 7 year old son Thomas, from Florida. There was nothing before or after this census for them, and I cannot connect Catherine with this family. There were Sweeneys in Florida in Marian Co, and other counties in the panhandle part of Florida, but not many. There is a Sweeney graveyard, with no marked graves also in a neighboring county. Anyone who could help me connect Patrick with Catherine? Or anyone hear of a Catherine Sweeney of about that age. (a daughter born in 1879?)...Sure appreciate it...Regards Charlene Newell
