My research has given me a little info, but nothing connects with dates and direct line My mother was born in Yorkville, S.C. in 1895 died 1969 Mother--Sarrah Amelia Sweatt Her father --Robert Pinkney Sweatt Her grandfather-- Alfred H. 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
