Hello Everyone, I'm looking for some Sweeney information. That is my maiden name but most of the records I have found so far use the Swinney spelling. I have found an Elizabeth Sweeney (spelled Sweanny) on the 1850 Washington County, MO census (b 1802). I believe she was already widowed by the 1850 census. I do not know her husband's first name. Records indicate he was born in KY. The census indicates that she was born in VA. Other records indicate that she was born in KY. Her children (or those who lived with her) according to the 1850 census were named Edmond, John, Airs, Nathaniel, Wiliam, Susan, Harrison, Henry, Mary J. I also know that she received a pension from the civil war but those records could not be located by the National Archives. Any chance anyone is researching the same family?
