He is the son of Samuel R. SWEAT and Susan Marian WALDEN. Parents are assumed buried in Baker Co, FL. Married OCT 1860 in Baker County, Florida.
Correction per Linda Davis: In Ed Sweat's book, "The Sweat and Allied Families of Wiregrass", he states that his great grandfather was buried in the old Gravely Hill Cemetery, which is now surrounded by Riverside Memorial so many think it is part of Riverside. Riverside Memorial doesn't manage the graves in Gravely Hill as the city now owns it. The land was give by the Price Family for veterans of the Civil War and their families...and only them. This couldn't be broken by Riverside Memorial so they didn't want the graves/land there.
