Peg: Thanks for the Info. The names of children of Eber Sweet and Lucy Dryer are really a big help. Several of the names you listed are found in the Erieville Cemetery, c.1915 list, Town of Nelson, Madison County, NY. Am having difficulty reconciling some of the dates tho. The marriage date Apr. 1788 seems fairly definate and childrens birthdates seem to follow logically but if Lucy Dryer was born Abt 1750 she would have been 62 yrs old by the time Betsey Sweet was born. Not impossible but unlikely. Do you think the Eber Sweet of 1749 could be the father of Eber who married Lucy? Or I guess someone else could have fathered Eber. I'd be interested in what you think Lee Sweet ----- Original Message ----- From: <Sweet4ester@aol.com> To: <SWEET-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2003 9:28 AM Subject: Re: Reuben Sweet of Georgetown N.Y. > In a message dated 1/31/2003 7:05:34 PM Pacific Standard Time, > sweetp@txucom.net writes: > > > Subj:Reuben Sweet of Georgetown N.Y. > > Date:1/31/2003 7:05:34 PM Pacific Standard Time > > From:<A HREF="mailto:sweetp@txucom.net">sweetp@txucom.net</A> > > Reply-to:<A HREF="mailto:SWEET-L@rootsweb.com">SWEET-L@rootsweb.com</A> > > To:<A HREF="mailto:SWEET-L@rootsweb.com">SWEET-L@rootsweb.com</A> > > Sent from the Internet > > > > Need help in finding the father of Reuben Sweet born Abt. 1805 Georgetown > > N.Y. > > married Mary Ann Shepard born Abt. 1802 Hartford Conn.
