I do not know how accurate some of it is as I don't have verification (birth, marriage or death certificates)on a lot of this information. Whittington Sweatt, Sr, b. about 1757, died about 1850. Married Martha ???, b. about 1783, d. about 1850. 2 children, 1.) Whittington, Jr., b. 1802 in SC. Died 1883 in Montgomery AL. 2.) James E. Sweatt My line is through Whittington Jr. Whittington, Jr., was married twice. 1.) Clara 2.) Adeline Darley. Whittington and Adeline had 8 children: James A. Sweatt b. 1824 (again, my line)in Montgomery AL, d. Jan 12, 1896. Married Martha Buckelew. They had 11 children: James Madison Sweatt (my line) b. March 23, 1847 married Christine Cook and they had 5 children: Callie b. 1876 Callie had 3 daughters. There is controversy over who is the father of the three. Ethel Edna Frankie Frankie (my ggrandmother)was born in Greenville AL in 1895 married Bogan McQuage (I have found many different spellings for this surname) and had 6 children. One of her sons was Douglas Glyn, b. May 4, 1916 in Andalusia AL. This was my father's father. I hope this makes sense to you.
