I am searching for the links from my Isaac M. Sweet, b: 1812 back to John, b: c1579. While I think perhaps there are links, I have been unable to find them. This is mostly guesswork, definitely not able to prove earlier than 1812. Isaac M. b: 1812, Genesee Co NY Isaac b: 1788 William, b: 1761 Thomas, b: 1732 James, b: 1687 Benoni, b: 1663 James, b: 1622 John, b: 1579 I'm afraid that Isaac, 1788 was not the father of Isaac, 1812. If you have information that can prove this line-up, I would be grateful. Ozzi
