Larry, There are only two William Sweet's in Pennsylvania in 1860 who are close to being the right age to be your William b. 1854. In 1860, there is a 5 year old William in the household of Joseph and Elizabeth Sweet, Ward 20, Philedelphia, PA, p. 437. There are two other probable children in the family, Francis and Catherine. Also in 1860, there is a 5 year old William in the household of Ambrose and Maria Sweet, Chatham, Tioga Co., PA, p. 105. Other probable children are George, Mahala, and Lewis. Since your William was b. 1854 and died after 1880, you should be able to obtain a death record that will tell you more about his background. Do you know when and/or where he died?

In the 1880 census William F. Sweet stated that his father was born in PA and his mother was born in England. This matches the family of Joseph and Elizabeth Sweet in Ward 20, Philedelphia, PA. that Cyndi found. Ambrose and Maria were both born in NY.

Michelle, Has anymore info been found on the William and Elizabeth Sweet found in Rockbridge VA?? William and Elizabeth Children: Jacob, Margaret J., Mary Ann, Sally, Alexander Abt. 1815, Moses about 1822, William M. abt. 1814 and Joseph Franklin 1824** Joseph Franklin married Margaret Lotts 1847 Rockbridge, VA Children: Joseph, Jr. 1848 Samuel A., 1850 Mary 1852 Sarah 1855 Martha 1858 William David 1860 Married Sarah Ludwick (2) Sarah Staples (Amherst Staples line) Margaret 1862 Lucy Jane. 1866 Could their father , William, be from the Rhode Island or NY lines?? William David told one of his granddaughters that this line was related to the NY Sweets, but she did not find out how or any names? I have been stumped on this line it seems forever. But notice the naming of the sons, Alexander and Moses and William. Could William be a brother to Moses Sweet that was discussed earlier on the list?? Anyone have any ideas on this line?? Thanks so much!! "Got a sweet tooth, but can't find the Sweets!"
