Sweeney-Conner Cabin
The Sweeney-Conner cabin is a structure within the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park.〔Marvel, ''A place called Appomattox'', has an extensive bibliography (pp. 369–383) which lists manuscript collections, private papers and letters that were consulted, as well as, newspapers, government documents, and other published monographs that were used in his research of Appomattox.〕 It was registered in the National Park Service's database of Official Structures on June 26, 1989.〔 and and (one photo, undated, at Virginia DHR )〕
==History==
The Sweeney-Conner cabin or Conner-Sweeney cabin was originally built for Jennings W. Connor and his bride Missouri Sweeney in 1860 to 1865.〔National Park Service, p. 122〕 The National Park Service identifies it as structure number 55 and as the Sweeney-Conner cabin,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Conner-Sweeney Cabin )〕 while many references refer to it as the Conner-Sweeney cabin or Connor-Sweeney cabin. Sometimes Conner is spelled Connor in references.
Connor enlisted as a private in the 46th Virginia Infantry on June 18, 1861. He was captured during the Appomattox Campaign at the Battle of Sailor's Creek on April 6, 1865.〔National Park Service, ''Appomattox Court House: Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, Virginia'', p. 122〕 Missouri was a younger sister to Joel Sweeney, eighteen years his junior.〔Marvel, p. 173 ''Lee's Last Retreat''〕 Joel is the earliest documented white banjo player and is the one who popularized the five-string banjo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Joel Sweeney Grave and Bohannon-Trent Cemetery )〕 When Jennings Connor and Missouri Sweeney (last of the Sweeney musical siblings), took their marriage vows on October 3, 1860, she lied about her age. She was only thirteen years old. Jennings was born July 1839, while Missouri was born sometime in 1847 in St Louis, Missouri. There was almost a decade between their ages.〔Marvel, ''A Place Called Appomattox'', p. 296〕
The Sweeney and the Conner clans were very poor people and their cabins were smaller than many of the slave cabins. They lived about two miles from the center of the village on the Richmond-Lynchburg stagecoach road.〔Marvel, p. 62 ''A Place Called Appomattox''〕 At the time Appomattox Station was called Nebraska, Virginia, where they received their mail. United States Census records for Appomattox County and Clover Hill District for 1900 show that Jennings by this time had remarried in 1886 and they were living in this cabin with three of their children.〔Census Place: Clover Hill, Appomattox, Virginia; Roll: T623 1699 Page: 5B; Enumeration District: 15.〕
