Perhaps you can help some of us who have not been as fortunate? I am looking for the roots of Isaac M. Sweet, b: 1812, Genesee Co, NY. I think the family goes back to the RI Sweets who came originally from England thru Wales, but I have nothing to prove it. I did find John "Isaac" Sweet, b: c1579, Devonshire, ENG, who provides a base and starting about 1780 the name Isaac is used in a number of families, but I've been unable to find that crucial link. Any assistance appreciated.
