Of eighteen said to be the number of John Sweeney’s children, no record has been found of two of them. It is very probable they were children of Polly McMurray, his first wife, and that they died before he came to Washington County, KY.(22)

In Memory of Moses Sweeney
departed this life June 17, 1813
aged 79(23)
Moses Sweeney was born in Belfast, Ireland, in 1734. He came to Virginia prior to the Revolutionary War and later to Liberty, Casey County, KY, where he bought property. He died in 1813 and was buried near Milledgeville in Lincoln County where a monument has lately been erected at his grave. According to tradition, others bearing the Sweeney name (probably brothers of Moses), settled at Mackville, Washington County, KY, at the same time Moses settled at Liberty. The Coat of Arms of the Sweeney’s may be found in a volume of “Irish Pedigrees” in the public library at Louisville, KY, and other cities.(22)
John, Joseph, and Daniel Sweeney came to Mackville, Washington County, KY, and owned farms there. John and Joseph died there, but Daniel went to Missouri where he died in 1859. Milly Sweeney, who married Jesse Peter, also came to Mackville.(22)
