A dau., Karen Lynn SWEESY, was born in El Paso, TX on 5 Oct 1942 while Emerson was in the U. S. Army. In the 1943 El Paso City Directory Emerson C. & Florence M.

Sweezy family in WV

DonnaUmstead — 2006-10-01 15:36:09Z

I am seeking information about my paternal grandparents and family who lived in Parkersburg, WV. Wesley Monroe Sweezy and Mary Ann McCauley Sweezy died during the 1950's and had 5 children. One of these was my grandfather, Rex Ellsworth Sweezy. Thanks for any help you might give me.

Sweezy in Northumberland Co., New Brunswick, Canada

SHARNWELL — 2005-05-22 09:39:00Z

Records of the New Brunswick Court of Quarter Sessions show that Mary (Elizabeth?) SWEEZY married Matthew OXFORD on 9 July 1808. Some family papers state: "She was a sister of Ben SWEEZY, "Uncle Ben", who lived 8 or 10 miles from the ocean on the coast, at the opening of the river. Considered a wealthy farmer."

Possible relationship to Hason Sweezey who located on South West Branch, Miramichi River in May 1785 with 3 in his family.

Also in 1851, the head of the Sweezeys in Glenelg Parish was Reuben Sweezey, age 65, wife Ann, age 58; and children: Benjamin 32, George 23, Robert 15. "Uncle Ben" may be Reuben, a name which was then first shows up in the Oxford family.

Has anyone else worked on this Sweezy line? Would appreciate any help getting my nose pointed in the right direction here, and I'm always glad to share.

2004-12-29 23:35:40Z

Hello Velda,
My gggrandmother is Adaline Adelia Sweezy, the sister of your Julie Ann.
Our family notes don't list/mention a Julie Ann as a daughter to David Corwin and Elizabeth Ann (Gillet) Sweezy.
You can see my tree at the Rootsweb site or at www.gencircles.com. Julie Ann Sweezy will not be on my tree.
Do you have any proof of her parentage, like an obit or death certificate showing her parents names?
Thanks

hi, i saw your posting, about wanting to know about Sara Sweezy.. can you give me more information about her, even just a period of years she might have lived? i have information on a sarah sweezy who was born in approximately 1858.... is that likely to be yours? she was born in Iowa....

Sarah Sweezy, NY > MI > MO

DCHerd — 2004-07-11 02:13:45Z

What I have on my Sarah Sweezy is she was born 1853, NY, died 1917 in Warsaw,Mo, by her death certificate. But by her marriage record she would hvae been born in 1851. She married John Milton Dawson in 1870 in Michigan. He was susposed to have been born in Ohio, can't find him in Ohio. His dad might be George. John died in 1885 in Warsaw, Mo. Sarah's dad might be Henry Sweezy. There are so many different stories in the family that it is very hard to locate the right one.I have 2 different marriage licenses. One is a copy of marriage record that says she was born in Hamilton, Canada, the other is one that my cousin sent off for that is a Certificate of Marriage that says that she was born in New York, no town. On both she was 19, which would have made her born @ 1851. What do you have on your Sarah Sweezy? Thank You. Patricia

Sarah Lavina Sweezy: 1851, NY > MI > MO

DCHerd — 2004-07-11 02:12:27Z

I am searching for a Sarah Lavina Sweezy that was born @ 1851 in New York. Her father was suspose to have been Henry Sweezy. I have no information on him, nor can I find anyting about Sarah in NY. She married John Milton Dawson in 1870 at Bay City, Michigan. They later moved to Warsaw, Missouri. She died there in 1917. Who was your Henry Sweezy father and mother? Thank you . Patricia

Sweezy: IA, WI

2004-07-11 02:10:56Z

actually, the sarah i know of was born in Cassville
wisconsin in 1858. She was a twin, to a brother everett.
Her parents were William and Jane Sweezy. Born in
approximately 1817. Within that same generation
of children, the surname ends up being both Sweezy
and Swesey. Moving into Swesey in current times.
Keep my email address, who knows where they will meet
William was in Iowa in 1840 and 1850 before going to
Wisconsin. I THINK he died in Gordon, Nebraska in
about 1895. Still working on that one. No Idea what
happened to Jane.

Mary Sweezy: Lenawee Co., MI & NY
