Sweet. You, like the others, have provided me with valuable information. When I started this search, I was merely trying to locate Alvin Sweet, who by some records, was unaccountable after his return from Van Dieman's Land where he was imprisoned for his participation in the Patriots' War. The fact that you list Alvin B. Sweet (b. 1812) as the son of a Leland Sweet is really helpful. I did find, in the 1820 Herkimer, N. Y. Census, a Leland Sweet listed. He resided in Winfield Twp. which is the same place that shows up on Canadian records as the residence of the Alvin B. Sweet who participated in the War. My next desire is to determine if this Leland and his son, Alvin, were connected to a William Sweet, Sr. whose two sons also participated in that War - one son, being executed in Kingston. Seems strange that Alvin from Herkimer and the Sweet brothers from Plessis, N. Y. would join the same futile cause (Hunters Lodge in a locale so far from Alvin's home in Herkimer, N. Y. Dallas, I am pleased to get the information on Harriet and the children she had by Alvin. It has been fun plodding through the various censuses. I do have some questions -- particularly about a possible son, Robert, born in 1833 in N. Y. making it possible that Alvin was married even before the War began. I shall write you personally. Thank you so much for your time. Shirley Conklin Farone
