II-4 ANN SWEANEY

      The fourth child of Jeremiah and Nancy Griffin Sweaney was born in 1820 in North Carolina. She is listed in 1860 census in a separate home with Barbara M., Mary E. and Delila. Her oldest daughter, Nancy Jane, was listed in the Jeremiah household in 1850. She is not listed in any of the Dallas Co. cemeteries but her children were buried at Lone Rock. She would be at the Sweaney/Riverview or Lone Rock. There are a number of unmarked graves near her children.

      Gertie Day wrote that her grandmother, Barbara Margaret was born in Memphis, Ten. in 1843. She came to Missouri with her family at the age of two years by covered wagon. There were several families of them and she always spoke of many cousins. They all settled in around Lone Rock and the Windyville area. She told what hard times they had and about the Indians (they were friendly) bringing them meat and helping them out. She had mentioned some older brothers that went with their father and others to California. She had three sisters. Mary died when a young girl. My grandmother was the oldest of the four and always looked after all of them. There was a John Sweaney that lived in Jefferson City that was a relative and an old bachelor, Dan Sweaney, who came to our house when I was a child. He would stay several days. I don't know where he came from or where he went but my Grandmother (Babe) called him Brother. He wasn't her brother but I'm sure a close relative. . .
