• Notes

  Robert Sweezey comments: John is listed as a child in the estate records of Suffolk Co. of his father's estate (William Sweezey). I have no other information about him. 1860 Census - Bayman - Patchogue. All information comes from the 1850, 1860, and 1870 Census. I have two sources that say a 'John Sweezey' married an 'Ophelia/Aphelia Terry' at around this time, and would fit in with the dates. One source shs 'Aphelia' as the daughter of Brewster Terry from Connecticut (or Coram). That would fit in with the son's name of William Brewster. But I show the parents of this John as William Sweezey and Eliza Rose. I could be wrong about this. In my other source listing Ophelia married to John, I have John's parents as Daniel Sweezey and Joanna Davis. I can only find one John and Ophelia listed in the Suffolk Co., Census' of 1850, 1860, and 1870. Based on this information, I will assume that the John Sweezey here is the son of William & Eliza Rose and the husband of Ophelia Terry, d/o Brewster Terry, and the other two John's I will leave with no spouse listed. I show a J.R. Sweezey buried at Cedar Grove Cemetery - died 18 Jan 1879 at 61 yrs, 2 mos, and 3 days.
