Moses Swinney - Revolutionary War Soldier married Ann Seymore

I have been able to trace back to Rev. James Seymore Swinney (4th Great Gandfather) who was born in Monroe County, Amherst Virginia. His father was Moses Swinney who was born in Cork (1713). The 'tree' gets shakey after this. Moses Swinney's parents were John Swinney (1680-1756) Dublin, and Deborah Smith (1683-1760), Moses' children were Joseph Swinney (1741-1826); Ruthea Swinney (1749-1830); son John Swinney (1749-1850); Henry Swinney (1750 - ?); Edward Swinney (1752 - ?);Rev. James Seymore Swinney (1755-1836); William Swinney (1756-1812); Moses Sweeney II (1756-1833). A potential 6th Great for me was an Edward, however, I've not been able to find out more than this.

Many thanks for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board and welcome to the site.

It is very difficult to obtain records before 1800 in many areas in Ireland due to lack of record keeping as wlel as loss and destruction of records.  Having said that, we have created the XO Chronicles feature which allows any member to create a Profile for any ancestor.  You might consider this in relation to one of your Swinney ancestors. 

The link to create a profile is below:

The profiles are very useful as they are updated weekly, many members read them, and often, someone may be researching the same person or family and will have further information to share.

Thank you for your interest in Ireland Reaching Out.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

 

Kind regards,

Jane.

Hello BjG,

I'm on the James Semore Swinney line too.  Was wondering if you have anything more on Moses Father, John Swinney?  Siblings, Parents, Grandparents etc?  How far back are you able to trace the line in Ireland?

Best,

Jeff Swinney
