At least I now know I can probably rule him out. If you have a theory as to whom Dorcas might belong to, I am open to suggestions. I have definetly placed her in Seneca County in 1822 when she would have been abt 18-20 yrs old. So I feel her family was probably near by, but then again you cannot be certain. I am planning a trip this spring to Sen., Wayne, and Cayuga, I would love to find some answers. I also just noticed that there was a Benjamin D. Sweet was there in 1830 and William Sweet in 1850 living in the Ohio county where Dorcas moved. Do those names ring a bell. William was born in Ohio, but his sister Jemima was born in NY abt 1825. Thanks again,Kim
