Based on the match that Michelle noticed in the 1860 and 1880 census information, I would suggest several avenues of research that Larry could pursue. A Joseph Sweet (wife Elizabeth) served from Pennsylvania during the Civil War, Co. D, 28 PA Infantry. He filed for invalid pension 1872; the widow filed for pension 1879 (could be 1889 - difficult to read date). Send for this pension from the National Archives to investigate this further. William Sweet is found in the 1880 Philadelphia census and 1890 City Directory. He is not found in the 1910 Miracode index. So, I would suggest Larry check for a death record for William F. Sweet at the Philadelphia City Archives, 3101 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19108. 215-686-1581 They have birth, death and marriage records 1860 thru 1915. Also court naturalization records, city directories, deeds, etc. Investigation at the Archives should be helpful. Larry has a death date of January 1952 for Frank Sweet - Larry, does that imply you know where Frank died? If so, you should obtain his death record, obituary, funeral home records - anything that might be helpful. Just some thoughts. Let the list know what you find out.
