Thanks for all your responses to my inquiry re. John Sweet. However, please forgive me in butting in to the following question which Marilyn addressed to Cindi. The census in question is not the 1790 census but the 1800 census in Norway, Herkimer, NY. Oliver was listed in Easton, Washington, NY in the 1790 census. These are the same Sweets which I believe removed to Scriba, Oswego, NY. Oliver and Ruth purchased land there in 1806, along with several others of his neighbors in Norway, including the Coons and Wordens. The Worden-Sweet Cemetery in Scriba is located on part of the land Joseph Worden had originally purchased at the same time as Oliver. The Coons, Sweets (appeared as Swett/Sweat) and Wordens were listed together in the 1810 Oneida census since Oswego had not yet been formed. The relationships between these families continue in Scriba basically from that point on, appearing together in the 1820 census and even later.

In the 1790 Census there is an Oliver there who has sons named Benjamin and Edmond living next door. He would be born about 1746.

In reply to Marilyn's question and Paul's response below, my limited research into this family agrees with Paul's, i.e. an Oliver Sweet appears in the 1800 census at Norway, Herkimer Co., NY, p. 562. I note in Paul's response below he refers to a wife Ruth. Paul - is there further information on this marriage? How does this Oliver with wife Ruth relate, if at all, to the Oliver Sweet son of Benjamin who m. 6 February 1767 East Greenwich RI Susannah Rice, dau. of George Rice? (Arnold VR).
