On the website "Tracking Your Roots" I found the following message in the section on Covington County, Alabama and in the document "Births, Deaths, & Marriages from Covington Co., AL Newspapers": "Interest Notice: To all whom it may concern: This is to certify that we have know[n] the SWEATT family for [a] number of years and find by tracing history and from our own observation that they are originally from France. Their foreparents on father's side from France, on mother's from old Holland. The late A P SWEATT, father of Chas P SWEATT married a lady whose mother was of Indian Blood. We can truthfully recommend this family as being all right in every respect. dtd Oct 22 1907; undersigned citizens of Mar[l]borough Co, State of S C, certify we have known SWEATT for years, dtd 22 Oct 1907; C P TOWNSEND; J B GREEN, Sheriff; Milton M LAURIN, Judge of Probate; N B ROGERS, Treasurer; J A DRAKE, Clerk; Julian M LAURIN, Deputy Clerk; M B COWARD".
