Greetings! As per my previous postings in the archives, the line of Oliver Sweet has been the focus of my personal research for quite a while. Therefore, I thought it appropriate for me to remind us of a few things that could be important. These are primarily in reference to the comments made by John Chandler. John wrote, "One son was apparently named Joseph, since the 1779 will of Jeremiah Fones of N.K. mentioned a Joseph Sweet, son of Oliver." ... I have only read the abstract of that will, but am interested in finding the entire text (i.e., if it is available). Any suggestions where I can get a copy? The Oliver Sweet who eventually settled in Scriba, Oswego, NY, did indeed have a son named Joseph born ca. 1774. They were both listed in the land records there as early as 1806. Joseph appeared in the 1820 and 1830 census records in Scriba, and was buried there in the Sweet-Worden Cemetary after his death in 1834. John again wrote, "I have no clues on the other children, other than the obvious guesses that they might be named after the immediate family, such as Oliver's parents Benjamin and Elizabeth or Susan's father George." Most of Oliver's children remain unidentified. However, based on the 1790 census when Oliver was living in Easton, Albany, NY, Oliver had a household of daughters in addition to his sons. I have found no records as to their names or spouses, although I suspect that a daughter Penelope married a Worden, the brother of Joseph W. Worden who appeared with Oliver in both Herkimer and Oswego Counties. It is also interesting that Joseph W. Worden had another brother named Edmond, perhaps suggesting that there was a close link between the families. We know from later census records that Oliver had two sons, James and John, who were born in the early 1790s. However, I do not know if they are children from Oliver's first or second marriage. John Sweet was still living in Scriba at the time of the 1855 census and identified his birthplace as Herkimer, NY, which is where Oliver and his family were living at the time of the 1800 census. Interestingly, James and John had several sons including one named Edmond, another Oliver. Susannah Rice's family is also interesting in that, if my memory serves me correctly, E.G. records indicate that her father George Rice died shortly after her birth. Those records also indicate that an Elizabeth Rice (Susannah's mother??) married Henry Gardner. It is also interesting that Benjamin Sweet (1779-1828) named two daughters Susannah, a son Henry, and another son (my gggrandfather) Joseph W. Sweet. John again wrote, "The fact that he was living in N.K. as of 1782 combined with the lack of any children recorded at E.G. suggests that he settled in N.K. soon after his marriage." I am not sure when Oliver settled in N.K., but he was still in E.G. at the time of the 1777 military census. He also appeared a few times in the E.G. town records during the mid 1770's, usually being reimbursed for his care of the indigent and elderly. Again, it is interesting that his name often appeared linked with Henry Gardner whom I had mentioned earlier. I also believe that Oliver witnessed the will for Samuel Gardner?? Finally, John wrote, "As we all know, the N.K. vital records were mostly destroyed by bank robbers, and so the lack of children recorded there is only to be expected." Thanks for the information, as that is something I had never heard. It does explain why there is a lack of vital records from N.K. Paul Sweet

I would like to know more about the Oliver born in RI > - his children etc. Oliver is mentioned in his father's will, dated 1783, but that's the last documentation I know of. I do not see him in RI in the 1790 census. In 1782, he appears in the state census in North Kingstown, with a household of 3+2 under 16, 0+1 under 22, 1+1 under 50, and 0+1 over 50. (That's M+F in each age bracket.) One son was apparently named Joseph, since the 1779 will of Jeremiah Fones of N.K. mentioned a Joseph Sweet, son of Oliver. I have no clues on the other children, other than the obvious guesses that they might be named after the immediate family, such as Oliver's parents Benjamin and Elizabeth or Susan's father George. I suppose you know about the marriage being recorded at East Greenwich, 1767 Feb 6. The fact that he was living in N.K. as of 1782 combined with the lack of any children recorded at E.G. suggests that he settled in N.K. soon after his marriage. As we all know, the N.K. vital records were mostly destroyed by bank robbers, and so the lack of children recorded there is only to be expected. John Chandler

I am trying to find out more about Oliver Sweet who was born 1746 in Kent Co, RI. Did he ever move to New York State? did he have a second wive named Alice? I found an Oliver in Herkermer Co, NY in1790 census. He has neighbors of Edmond Sweet and Benjamin Sweet ( who would be ages of sons) He fits the Oliver of Kent Co, RI except when he sells his land his wife's name is Alice not Susan. I would like to know more about the Oliver born in RI - his children etc. Marilyn

Thanks John I collect random bits of information on Sweets in the northeast part of the US. Mostly NY and Rhode Island. It can not be classified as true one name study, but occasionally the info I have helps others. It is quite large now, and I believe that I have tried to give the source at least where I picked up the info.

Daniel[3] son of John[2] did indeed have a wife Eleanor, but there is no evidence she was a Carpenter. The will of Timothy Carpenter refers to a daughter Ethelenah SWEET and grandson Philip SWEET, not a daughter Eleanor SWEET. John Chandler

unverified but maybe it will be a starting point. Shirley James was probably the son of David Sweet and Ethalanah Carpenter. He was a yeoman of Glocester.
