Celina, I'm glad to try to help. I didn't understand from your initial questions that you had documented the line to a certain point as indicated below. This leads me to one question and one suggestion. Question - your message below seems to indicate that you believe your Sweet line went from Allegany Co., New York to Michigan. I was under the impression (perhaps mistaken) that Paul's Sweets (who you match via the DNA) were in Herkimer and Oswego Counties, New York, before heading to Michigan. What is the evidence tying your line to Allegany County? Suggestion - Why don't you post to the list what you know and what evidence it is based on, and see if we can put our collective heads together to deduce anything? This would require a time line approach, i.e. dates, names, places, and evidence, very clearly laid out. It's worth a try - there are lots of great researchers on this list.

The Peleg Sweet cannot be in error as my Great Great Grandfathers birth record is proof as well as the Civil War Record. I have been trying to find the Peleg Sweet who married a woman named Electra, no last name reported. The were in the Nunda/Grove, Allegheny, CO, New York area in 1810 a long with his brother Rueben. The last NY Land or Census found were in 1840s. In fact in the 1840 NY census there were 26 people in the household! To bad they didn't list their names, they were massing before they came to MI. In Michigan 5 Sweet Families had part of one section of land. Their relationship is not listed. Except for Peleg there's Peleg and Peleg Jr., Thus; we surmised that Peleg was the father of our 3rd Grandfather. That's why we were searching for Peleg, Sr. Thanks for the ear -- Celina ==== SWEET Mailing List ==== Search this list's archived messages! http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
