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?
