Sweetman of "Wexford Mila"

Wexford

My great-grandfather was baptised at St. Finnebar's Chuch, Cork in 1801. His father is listed in the church records as "Jno Sweetman" of "Wexford Mila". I have two questions:

1. What name is "Jno" an abbreviation for?

2. Where or what is "Wexford Mila"?

Many thanks for any help you might be able to provide to a befuddled American.

Jno would be John. Wexford Mila could be Wexford Militia.
