Sweat family children [16 October 2010]

I have been earnestly seeking information on my gggrandmother, Minerva Sweet b.1811 d. 1872 in IL. I have noticed your watching the Joel and Minerva Sweat page. They list an infant daughter unnamed among their children. Do you know the name of this girl? Could it be after her mother? I'm grasping at any straw.--Bigdeacon 14:36, 16 October 2010 (EDT)

I looked through the original file don't have anything on where we got the information on the infant daughter. I think it was from the 1800 Census, where Joel had a girl under ten and a female between 16-26 in his house. This would have been too early for your Minerva, though. I then checked the 1820 Census and they didn't have a daughter younger than ten, so she isn't showing up there. Unfortunately I don't think Joel and Minerva are your Minerva's parents. --Beirne 21:47, 16 October 2010 (EDT)
