Hi,
Interesting that your William Cary m. Ruth Sweet.
I have an maternal ancestor named Alpheus Sweet Barrett (1843-1936) who
married Jane (Jennie) Cary in Ohio before going West. They spent a number of
years in Plymouth County, IA, then on to KS.
I have never been able to determine where the name "Sweet" originated. Do
you know?
Joan in Virginia
