Census records, deeds show there were two Jonathan SWETT and a John SWETT and a Stephan SWETT in Athens Co between 1800 and thru 1810 and 1820. Mary SWETT md. Noah LINSCOTT 1793 in Cumberland Co Maine. Very likely one of the Jonathan SWETT guys is her fa. Mary and Noah LINSCOTT named a dau. Apphia and a son Jedediah. On page 33 of Everett Stackpoles book "SWETT GENEALOGY" is a Jonathan SWETT whose son Benjamin md. Apphia Rowe and a dau. who md. Jedediah Witham. "Apphia" was never a common name. Stackpole says very little about this line of SWETT. The father Jonathan SWETT b 1720 per Stackpole had son Jonathan b 1761 and a son John b. ? I apologize to all for the length of this query, but it takes a lot of careful explaining to get to the point where it can make sense. I am seeking any confirmation of any parts of my hypothesis. It does contradict a position laid out in Harold Linscott's book "THE DESCENDANTS OF JOHN LINSCOTT." Is it simply a coincidence that Mary (SWETT) LINSCOTT would name two of her five ch Apphia and Jedediah? If I am correct, Mary would be a sister in law to those two persons who md ch. of Jonathan SWETT b 1720. Thank all of you for being patient and any relevant discussion would be welcomed.
