Surnames: Sweet, Morehouse Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iIB.2ACI/948.3 Message Board Post: The Alvin B. Sweet, who is listed in the 1860 Census in Verona tws, Faribault Co, was married to Harriet Morehouse, daughter of Walter and Harriet (Balcom) Morehouse. Harriet Morehouse Sweet is a sister to my great great grandmother, Electa Morehouse McColley. Harriet Morehouse was married twice ... 1st to Corydon Butler and they had two children ... Wealtha and Worth Butler. Harriet and Alvin Sweet had 6 children ... Leland (who died young); Alice; Alvin Burt; Charles, Adella, and Arden (who died young). Alvin and Harriet (Morehouse) Sweet came to Faribault Co, Minn in 1859, with many from the Morehouse family from Columbia Co, Wis. Alvin Sweet died in Douglas Co, Minn (where he was living with his son's family). According to death record, he was b. 4 Jul 1812 and d. 14 Feb 1903. His father's name was given as Leland Sweet. Harriet Morehouse Sweet died in Blue Earth Co, Minn 20 Jul 1902. Both are buried at Rice Lake Cemetery near Delavan. There is a big Sweet tombstone there, and Harriet's name is incribed on the stone, but I don't believe that Alvin's names and dates are listed. I would be most interested in sharing information on this family, especially with living descendants.
