Surnames: Sweet, Carpenter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HBRBAIB/1280.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Renate -- I believe the Catherine who is married to Zerah Sweet is Catherine Carpenter and they were married about 1840 in Stockbridge or Smithfield, NY. Are you related to the Zerah Sweet family? Thanks for doing the census look-ups. To my knowledge, my Sweets are not related to the Zerah Sweet in Michigan, but I do have a Zara(h) Sweet in my Sweet line and it's an unusual name so I keep looking for a link. --Virgene Travis
