Missing Family

MissyAnn1124 — 2012-05-17 03:32:12Z

I am currently trying to find information out about my grandfather, Elvin Gilbert Sweet born May 11, 1925. My mother never met him because her mother and her side of the family basically kept my mother hidden from him, saying he was a bad man. In my research I have found a few newspaper articles about him committing burglaries in New Jersey in the 1960's and even obtained a mugshot of him. I just want to know more about him and anyone who did know about him has passed away. I know he was born in Pemberton, NJ and his parents were Gilbert C. Sweet and Christine Macellari and that his grandfather was also a Elvin Sweet, all of which I found out from Ancestry. Anyone who has any information at all about these Sweets please message me back. Thank you Melissa

Lamech Sweet

zarodoscht — 2012-05-13 22:37:42Z

Looking for the parents of Lamech Sweet. His obituary says he was born May 1804 in Litchfield, Herkimer Co. New York and was left an orphan at the age of seven. He married Eunice Skidmore (daughter of Isaac and Sarah (Lull) Skidmore on Dec. 9 1830 in New York (Butternuts or New Lisbon probably). Came to Michigan in the fall of 1833 and died in 1894 in Waterloo, Jackson co. Michigan. Wondering if he is connected to an Asa Sweet who is the only Sweet listed in Litchfield on the Census of 1800.

I was at the Library in Fort Wayne yesterday and I found a list volunteers from Madison County, New York. This is the county where my Sweets lived. Jonathan Sweet (I believe may be my ggg uncle also) was a volunteer. Gen. Erastus Cleaveland was also from Madison County.

Eli Sweet was my ggg uncle. I do not know if this is the same Eli Sweet you are referring to. His parents were Eber and Lucy Dryer Sweet .

My Eli was born about 1790 and died 23 Nov 1838. He is buried in Erieville Cemetery, Nelson, Madison County, New York. He was married to Nancy Jennings and they had at least three children (George, Ann, and Harriet.

Don't be so sureS
When I get totally frustrated searching for my Sweets, I sometimes take a break and look for somebody else's. At least some of your Sweets are in the IGI. So is Electa Lockwood b. 8 Mar 1825, Webster, NY, d. 18 Jan 1905, Tilden, NE. Married Thomas J. Sweet b. abt 1821, Webster, NY. Also lists her marriage to Luther Augustus Russell and their three children, but not the children with Thomas. (Looked quickly and found Uriah in MI for the 1850 census.) You can get dizzy searching all the different name combinations but it can pay off!

Thomas J. Sweet 1808-1856 Posted by: Dan Sweet Date: December 01, 1999 at 13:27:53
of 2590
I have been searching for years for any information on my Thomas J. Sweet who lived somewhere in NY, purchased land in MI and moved there and married Electa Lockwood. He had three children - Uriah, Thomas Albert and Ida Jane. They lived in Ovid Township, MI (near Coldwater) and he is buried in the Lockwood plot there. After his death, Electa married and moved to Nebraska with Luther Augustus Russell. I know nothing about Thomas J. before he arrived in MI and he has been my roadblock for years.

Elias and Eli SWEET of New York state- War of 1812 soldiers

1836hyacinth — 2012-04-23 21:09:13Z

Does anyone know anything further about War of 1812 soldier Elias SWEET of New York state? He served in Davis' Regiment in the New York Militia and I am trying to discover which county that would have been. I am interested in the Sweets of ONTARIO COUNTY, NEW YORK (or near there).

There was also an Eli SWEET who served in Cleveland's Regiment of the New York Militia (during 1814).

Would anyone know about the families of these two soldiers? Thanks!

Re: Sweet --- Rensselaer County New York

bhrowland — 2012-04-12 11:48:17Z

Thanks. I missed the cemetery records; and appreciate your responding to my query. Will have to keep looking for Hiram's vital information as the cemetery transcription does not provide any dates. May be that only his disappearance in the census will signal a time of death. Will conclude that Hiram and Roxanna Rowland did not have children.

Again, your help is appreciated.

Re: Sweet --- Rensselaer County New York

pksweet69 — 2012-04-12 01:56:22Z

Cemetery records for Rensselaer County indicate that Roxanna Rowland died in 1889 (Grafton Center Cemetery). Those same records list Hiram but no dates.

www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nyrensse/cemr8.htm

The 1900 census for Pittstown list a Hiram Rowland with wife Alfretta, married 8 years with 2 children. No other children are listed.

Sweet --- Rensselaer County New York

bhrowland — 2012-04-11 22:14:32Z

Looking for information on Roxanna Sweet wife of Hiram Rowland.

They appear in the 1880 Pittstown, Rensselaer Co NY census with Judith Sweet, Roxanna's sister in the household.

Would like to confirm the birth/death dates and burial places for for Roxanna and her husband, Hiram Rowland.

Did they have children?

Any assistance or information to help with this couple will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Greenberry Sweet

gssmith555 — 2012-03-30 05:54:36Z

Greenberry Sweet was my great grandfather. He was not born in 1851. It was 1838 in Claiborne Co., TN. His father was David Sweet and his mother was Highly (perhaps maiden name of Holton). We have no info. further back than David and Highly. He married Elizabeth F. Hall in 1865, Anderson Co., TN, where he lived until his death in 1912. My second cousin who was a child when Greenberry died recounted that Greenberry was a big man, much bigger than my 6'4" grandfather John and very "jolly". He was a farmer and blacksmith. Their youngest son was John Webster Sweet, my paternal grandfather. Among other children were Samuel,Sanford, Martha, Sarah Adaline (Elizabeth's daughter by former husband John Lane, a Union soldier who died in the Civil War).

We would appreciate any info. anyone can give us on Greenberry's grandparents.

Any help on the Sweets? Other than making a trip to Hoosick Falls, NY I'm at a dead end.

Gospero SWEET, Gadsden County, FL SLAVES

BartGripenstraw — 2012-02-16 21:09:19Z

Rev. Gospero Sweet (1771-1856) and his son William Charles Sweet (1817-1898) both owned slaves in Gadsden County, Florida. The 1850 Slave Census shows William C. Sweet owns 8 slaves. The 1860 Slave Census shows Gospero Sweet owns 3 slaves and Benjamin Sweet owns 14. I found an earlier record that states that Gospero Sweet owned 480 acres of land and 28 slaves. I am not sure why his name shows up in the 1860 Slave census. It might be his widow/son.

There are many Sweet African Americans in Gadsden County. It is my guess that many of them were former slaves of Gospero Sweet. Does anyone have more information?

Hi, I'm not related to your line of Sweets, but saw your post and looked on Ancestry.com to see what I could find for you. There is a Harold S. Sweet b. 12 Sep 1910 in Minneapolis, Minn who d. 7 Aug 1944 in Normany, France. He was married to Ethel M. Young in Cook Co., Illinois on 12 July 1933. His parents were Martin Munson Sweet (1876-1943) and Edith Pearl Kelley (1877-1971). The Harold Sweet you are looking for possibly got his middle name from his grandfather.

Re: Chester J. Sweet

ForrestSanford64 — 2011-12-28 22:57:43Z

Yes, they are two Chesters. I have had the wrong one in my files. My Chester was "James Chester Sweet". His mother, I beleive was Sarah Thomas. Cannot find James Chester's father. Sarah married Warren Harris about 1867, James Chester would have been about 10. I cannot find my James Chester in the 1860 census, or any of his family.
