hello, I am interested in families related to PECK and SWEET that lived in Fly Creek/Burlington Flats/Richfield, NY in the late 1700s (probably around 1795) and the early 1800s. I am researching the family of Peleg Peck and his wife Betsey Sweet from Rhode Island, who were married 13 Aug 1779. I am particularly interested in identifying related persons and families that may have moved in family groups from RI to Otsego and Chenango Co. about this time. I have found both the families of Silas Williams and Wm. Rutenber, who are related to either Peleg Peck or his wife Betsey Sweet by blood or marriage. I suspect there are more... and I am particularly interested in knowing if any male Sweet relations were also in this group. Can you tell me who Lovina Sweet's father's father was, that is, who are the parents of Frank Sweet? And Who were Alvin Peck's parents? thanks, Ken Brown ----- Original Message ----- From: <gcgunn@comcast.net> To: <SWEET-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 13, 2005 2:26 AM Subject: Re: Caleb Sweet-Middlefield, NY > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: PECK, SWEET > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HBRBAIB/1120.2.3.1 > > Message Board Post: > > Thanks for looking up the info on Lovina Sweet Peck.
