Notes for John Sweet
The 1900 census states that John was born in English Canada in 1844. This date is very questionable, as John was about ten years older. His [third] wife Marietta was born in 1844.

A farm laborer in 1870, a carpenter in 1884, and a cornsheller in 1900.

John was paying for a home (on mortgage) in 1900.

There is a suspicious reuse of the dates September 15 and 1865 in the Johnston family records.
