Hey all you Sweeney Cousins!!! From the few years I have been working on my lines, which include Sweeney's, I have found the that clans MacSweeney's were divided into many groups, way back. So we are likely of 3 or 4 clans, in Donegel, Ireland. My Furthest decendent, I'm not even sure of his name! It was John or Charles (more votes were for Charles), and he came from Antrim County (East of Donegal), near Belfast (so they say!), to America, with his son Moses. Now where was mom??? Did he kidnap Moses and set sail wit d lad??? I Just Don't Know!!! And neither does anyone else, of whom I make contact on the internet. Of 13 of Moses's children, I have contacts with decendants of 6 of his lines. I know that Moses married Elizabeth Johnson (another elusive character), who was supposedly somehow in the same family as V.Pres. Richard M. Johnson. (I'd never have remembered that name as a V.P. unless there was this reason to). They lived on the Slate River, in Buckingham, VA. There were 2 other Moses Sweeney's living in VA at that time...*s*...<trying to keep the faith>. So, this one Moses married and had these 13 kids, all with the same woman. Whew! At least that part is simplified!!! How a woman could have 13 kids and not be dead...well, I've near seen it done, but back then, it was the norm. Anyway, their last child John had my great, great, great, great grandmother, and the rest is history. So, Ann Marie, you are not totally alone on this list. I've only seen a couple of other posts made to it in the, ummmmm, maybe 5 days I have belonged. But someone is seeing that they get sent out to the, what, 3 or 4 members??? Oh Great List Master, Please make your presence known!!!!!!!!! And, would you mind telling me just how many members there are on this list??? I know I have posted this information before, and if it not objectionable I will again... Christen A. Rosamilia my Sweeneys can be seen at my site. Just cut and past this addy: http://home.earthlink.net/+AH4-rosamilia With Love, Christen
