Aug 2, 1882). they had 2 children that I know of , Ethal Leonra, and Harold. Ethal was married to Erle Louis Courtier on Mar. 10, 1927. I was told that Charles came from Washington. I am looking for information on him and Ada. And if there is any information that you need I may be able to help. My family tree is almost done. Thanks, Candy

Cathy, Just thought of something you can check. The Edgewood Cemetery in Ashtabula was given by Peleg Sweet and many of his descendants are buried there. I am not sure how to contact them, but they may have some information. Dency

Cathy, Peleg Sweet was b. 6 April 1758 on James Town Island, RI according to Vital Records, Coventry, RI, p. 83, i.e. "Peleg son to the said James and Mercy was born on the Island of James Town on the 6th day of April 1758." See also Arnold, Coventry Births and Deaths, p. 91. Peleg Sweet m. 20 November 1777 Winstead, Litchfield Co., CT Mary Wilkinson. See Vital records, Winsted, Litchfield Co., CT, Vol. 1, (1771-1782), p. 36. Their daughter Susanna was born 6 December 1780 Winstead, Litchfield Co., CT. See Vital records, Winsted, Litchfield Co., CT, Vol. 1, (1771-1782), p. 36.

I believe the information you've sent is my family, based on some other info I've received, the pieces are all fitting together!

Cathy -- I can't find my own Sweet ancestors, so have started a data base (a *very* long term project) and hope that I'll eventually learn something through the process of elimination. In the meantime, I may be able to shed a little light on your Susanna Sweet b. abt 1781 CT. At the least, I'm hoping that this will give you some ideas to continue your search. On the 1820 census of Ashtabula, Ashtabula Co., Ohio there are the Sweets LISTED BELOW. (NOTE: There are many other Sweets in Ashtabula Co. .. in other townships, but I don't have data on them.) When the birth dates are shown as "abt 17xx" it means that I also found that individual on 1850 or later census records so have a better guessimate on the date of birth, and proximitiy of families on the census records resulted in my *guesses* about relationships.

Hi All Apologies for re-posting this message but my subject line was not clear. All other lists I sunscribe to put the list name before the subject, this one doesn't.
