Thomas Sweeney of Brookville
THOMAS SWEENEY FAMILY
It's not clear where this family lived prior to Brookville (where they appear on the census in 1930); they did not live here in 1920. It's possible that Thomas lived in Jersey City; there's a Thomas J. Sweeney at the right age living there at that time, without a family. According to the 1930 Census, Thomas and his wife had only been married for six years, so it makes sense to not find them together prior to this.
In 1930, Thomas was 52 and his wife, Sadie, was 44. Both were born in New Jersey, as were all of their parents. They had no children. Thomas was employed as a foreman at a cranberry bog.
An August 1929 issue of the New Jersey Courier mentions Thomas Sweeney in the news items from Brookville: he was visited by Mr. and Mrs. James Estlow of Whitings. He was also visited by Zeb Collins, though it's not clear if he's related to the Zebulon Collins who lived out in Bamber.
