Family history states that the Sweatts were either of English or American Indian descent. No confirmation. On September 28, 1861, at the age of 18, Noah joined the Confederate Army – Capt. C. J. Fladger’s Co., Hatch’s Battalion Coast Rangers. This company later became Co. E., 23rd Reg., S.C. Infantry on November 15, 1861. Noah is listed as one of the prisoners of the 23rd S.C. Regiment that were taken by Capt. Rodgers on the Northeastern Railroad on May 17, 1863. On a company muster roll for Feb. 29 to June 30, 1864, Private Noah Sweatt is listed as wounded. On August 13, 1864, he was admitted to the General Hospital, Petersburg, VA with a fractured shoulder. He was give 60 days furlough, beginning Sept. 1, 1864. The January and February 1865 Company Muster Roll lists Private N. Sweatt as absent without leave since November 1, 1864. Apparently he didn’t return from his furlough. Also, it appears that he hadn’t been paid for his service since December 31, 1863. Around 1870, he married Susanna Clarke [or Barkley.] According to family history, when Noah’s daughter, Becky Jane, married David Powers in 1900, Noah and Susan refused to let Becky take her three children (Carl, Pinkie, and Helen) with her and her new husband. These children were raised by Noah and Susanna. During his lifetime, Noah Sweatt was a soldier, a farmer, built coffins, and then ran a small store near the mill in Dillon until his death. According to Atty. G. G. McLaurin – “Noah Sweatt operated a very small business on South Railroad Ave. (near the tobacco warehouses) for a short time, possibly around 1912-1915. I believe he left there and moved down to or near the cotton mill. I don’t think I ever saw him more than three or four times. He appeared to be a rather old man, perhaps a little above medium size, hair rather long and a heavy beard. Every time I saw him he had on an old wool hat pulled well down on his head.” 1880 census – Marion Co., S.C. – Marion Twp. #5 Sweatt, Noah head 39 farmer SC SC SC , Benjamin father 69 farmer SC SC SC , Susan wife 43 housekpg SC SC SC , Charles stepson 16 farm laborer SC SC SC , Lizzie daughter 12 SC SC SC , John son 7 SC SC SC , Rebecca daughter 4 SC SC SC , Lulu daughter 1 SC SC SC 1900 census – Marion Co., S.C. - #73/73 Sweatt, Noah head male Jan 1838 30 yrs md. , Susan wife f Jan 1835 32 yrs md. , Kine gson m 1893 , Zohnnie gdau f 1896 , Helen gdau f 1897 1910 census – Dillon Co., S.C.

Carl Sweat is listed, age 15, living with John and Avilla Sweat (#313/313). He is listed after all their children, and shown incorrectly as their son.] Noah died after 1910 [possibly in 1934] and was buried in the cemetery behind the Little Bless Holiness Church in Oak Grove, Dillon County, South Carolina. It has been said that Noah donated the land on which Little Bless Church was built, and in return, he was given the strip of land for family burials. This has not been confirmed.
