Hi Maggie,
I know this is VERY vague, but while searching for my branch of
CALDWELLs who came from Ireland > Maryland (Eastern Shore) > Kentucky
(Christian Co.) > Texas (Brazoria Co.), I remember a few years back seeing
a connection between the names CALDWELL and SWEENEY. I think it may have
been in KY then into TX, but I remember a SWEENEY/LOONEY connection - in
fact, I think there was a newsletter just for the SWEENEY/LOONEY family,
which had CALDWELLs mentioned in it. I don't, however remember where they
lived. Perhaps you could find a listing for those names on the web or in a
genealogical publication. If they are still publishing the newsletter, it
might give you some clues about that particular LOONEY line. Sorry I
couldn't be more specific, but it was more than five years ago that I saw
this newsletter. Good luck with your research!
