Listed by Grace McGraw, probably through Ivan Sweeney:

"had a total of nine children, only 4 had children

John Neal MacSweeney, one of 9 children fathered by John N. MacSweeney, Sr., after coming to the US in 1792 with his second wife. After the death of his first wife (name unknown) in Ireland, he left 4 sons and 2 daughters (names unknown) from his first marriage in Ireland.

Note: 12 sons born--all were in the Civil War, 3 of them were Andrew (killed in war), Lath, and George. They all lived in or around Vinton County, Ohio, near Wilkesville, OH.

(Questionable info: Charles, Joseph, & Thomas F. were too young for Civil War. TF Sweeney record lists only 7 sons, mentions only Edward killed in Civil War. James Neal was also in Civil War. JWKeck)

Mary E. Hiles (1/2 sister to Hiles), Mary E. Gibson. Then: Mary E. Hiles MacSweeney, and Wm. Douglass.

Notes on Hiles Family: Mary E. Hiles' mother (name unknown to me)and her brother William Hiles both died in Boon, IA. This surely is "Uncle Bill" referred to by James Neal Sweeney in the letter to his mother during the Civil War. "Sara Jane" and "Andrew" were his sister and brother-in-law. and "Curtis Ewing" was a twin brother to the girl (Permelia Ewing) James Neal Sweeney later married."
