Thomas was born about 1785, going by his age in the 1850 and 1860 cenus records when he lived in Chatham Twp., Tioga County, PA. There's an account on the internet about tombstone carvers of Cortland County that says the town of Virgil (where Thomas lived in 1830 & 1835), and other towns in that area, was settled by families named Whiting, Sweet Moore and Joiner. These families apparently came from Windham County, VT. ONe of the carvers was Eber Sweet (possibly short for Ebenezer). What further information do you have on Phoebe?
