SWINEY, HAYS, JONESSearching for information on the following members of the
SWINEY family: William Allen, Emily, J.W., Arthur, and
Thomas Monroe Swiney, and the Solomon Hays family: Nancy L.,
Frances Minerva, and Thomas. They lived in TN in the

Shelbyville, Tennessee." Thomas Monroe, son of William Allen
Swiney and Frances Minerva Hays, was born in Lynnville, TN

sister Emily. J.W. and Arthur are identified in family notes
as "uncles," but no one knows if they are brothers of
William and Emily or are from an earlier generation. It
would take an expert to date the photograph from Arthur's

in Shelbyville? One other name of note, William B. Swiney,
thought to be William and Emily's father. Any information
