Still seeking Washington L. Sweeney and Redmond McManus Sweeney. I've got more info this time around. The 1860 Rock Island IL census list the following: Washington L Sweeney age 33 from DE (Sussex Co?) (1827) Amelia A (Robb)Sweeney 32 PA (1828) Redmond M 9 PA (1851) Wm E 5 IL (1855) Marian Edw 1 IL (1859) Edw D (Bro to Washington?) 26 PA (1834) Didn't find on the 1870 census but found Redmond in the 1880 census. Sweeney's connected with the Johns(t)son and Cain's of Rock Island. Does this ring a bell with anyone out there in la la land. Redmond is my G grandfather and he married Matilda Johnson. Not many Sweeney's in the Delaware census index due to being a really small state...maybe easy to track. There is a Timothy Sweeney Rev War Patriot from Delaware? Diane Nelson Stewart
