Please contact me if you are researching this name (or Sweaney) in ANY state. I am particularly interested in where in Ireland they might have come from as I believe the spelling was changed in the USA. There were many in Maryland in the early 1800s, some emigrated to Tuscawaras Co. OH, some then went on to Delaware Co. IN. My line continued into WA, then OR. (Most seemed to have Protestant given names such as Samuel, William, Jacob, Daniel, Sarah.)
