Does anyone know who Silas SWEET who was in Franklin County, VT in 1870 was the son of? In 1880, he was living in Jay, Orleans County, VT, with his brother Harlow SWEET. I have no idea of who either of them were. In 1880, Silas was a widower, and he had several children - Emma, 16, Cora, 11, Elizabeth, 9, Minnie, 7, Etta, 5, Wallace, 4, and Arthur, aged 2. His brother, Harlow, was also a widower. According to the census, both Harlow and Silas were widowers. Thanks. Kathy Campbell
