I've never heard of Olive Perkins, and certainly have no idea what our lineage may have been at 1750. The Ephraim Sweat I am researching was my direct grandfather, and I know he had old relatives in Arkansas. He also fought in WWII, in both the European and Pacific theaters. He served as a combat engineer, I have a picture of his unit number as the 1289th. I'm not really so much researching my grandfather, I knew him all my life- but I know very little about the family before WWII, and would like to know more. Have you any knowledge of a Sweat family in Arkansas in the depression years? Thanks again for you interest. John
