I will be photographing Sweat Headstones. Anyone interested in receiving copies? There will be no charge for the copies that I send over the internet. If you want physical photos I will only charge for the cost of the photos and shipping. Send me an email with your choice of delivery. If it's an email delivery just let me know you email address and that you desire digital photos. If you want physical copies email me with your snail mail address. Cynthia Perkins

Ann Middleton was the second wife, having been married to a Middleton, and bringing Henry and perhaps others along, or 2. Ann was second wife, bringing Henry along, and then having others. The only two good dates for children's births I have are Henry Middleton Sweat, b. January 20, 1829; and Lewis Frederick Sweat, b. October 24, 1820. Somewhere a date of 1869 for the birth of David Madison Sweat. I list 9 children of Barnett Sweat, but only 5 are in his will.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FdQBAEB/261.1.1.1 Message Board Post: It has long been rumored that Henry Middleton Sweat may have been adopted, but no evidence exists that I know of. I have his bible, which says nothing about it. His daughter, Martha Mary Jane Sweat Mott, lived into her 90's and never mentioned anything about it. There are descendants from Barnett's other children who might know something about it. Most of us show Ann Middleton as Barnett's wife, tho I've never seen good evidence for this. There may be something in the Jones bible about this (I've heard that the Jones bible started with Solomon K. Jones), but someone in the Kirton family disappeared with it. My mother and others have looked hard for records of such an adoption but many have disappeared. I've put up a page of Rural Lowcountry Families at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=hrmiii

They had three children that I am aware of. Elza Lester, Janice Juanita, and Nancy Lee. From his three children with Helen, he has 12 grandchildren that I am aware of. Beyond knowing who his children were, all I know about his genealogy is that his father was Elza and his mother was Samantha. I can be contacted via email for a digital photo of him. He was however, a very talented artist. A trait that has seemed to survive through his grandchildren.

Sweat or Sweatt Her ggrandfather--Alfred Sweatt I know that Ephraim Sweat came to N.C./S.C. and that some of the other kin folk went west. I am searching for a direct connection between Alfred and Ephraim. I have some info from Maryland but no direct connections. The book by Erbon Wise has a wealth of information, but again no direct connection. I have looked in the Ireland information on line but havee not found any Sweatts. Hope some of your info will put a connection to my findings. Doris
