Sweetnam
|
Though frequently recorded as "Sweetman" in official records, family history sources suggest the Sweetnam spelling is the correct one. In the 1870s John (Swetman) Sweetnam of Skibbereen owned over 200 acres in county Cork while Stephen (Sweetman) Sweetnam MD, held over 220 acres in the Schull area. Members of this family held lands in the parishes of Abbeystrowry and Aghadown, barony of West Carbery, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Many were clergymen or medical practitioners.
