SWEET, THEOPILUS, a cousin to Joseph and Robert, was born and married in Otsego county, New York. Had children born there, and moved to Morgan county, Illinois, and from there to the vicinity of Loami, Sangamon county, in 1826. They brought six children and three were born in Sangamon county. I have not a full history of his children. His eldest son--

LEVI, born in New York, married in Sangamon county in 1832 to Lucy Colburn, a daughter of Isaac Colburn, who died at Louisville, Kentucky, in 1820. They had five children, moved in 1853 to Scyene, Texas, and Mr. S. died there in 1863, leaving his family there. Levi Sweet was a preacher in the Christian Church before he went to Texas, and continued to preach as long as he lived.

ADONIRAM married Abigail Greening. He died and she married again and lives in Waverly, Illinois.

ANSEL married Elizabeth Anderson in Morgan county, Illinois.

The wife of Theopilus Sweet died at Loami and he married Lucinda B. Harrison. He moved with part of his children to Scott county, and died about 1860 at Winchester, Illinois. His widow died August 20, 1873, on Richland creek, at the residence of her nephew, John H. Harrison. Theopilus Sweet was a preacher of the Old School Baptist Church when he came to Sangamon county, and soon after changed to the Christian, or what is called Campbellite. He preached in Sangamon about eighteen years, and was then the principal mover in organizing a phalanx of Fourierites at Loami in 1844. That was disbanded in two or three years. Mr. Sweet joined the Missionary Baptists two or three years before his death.
