Just saw your Oct 1 posting about John & William Sweetland (#54).My gggrandmother, Abigail Brundige, had 3 husbands.My aunts said that one of them "was a sea captain" (or maybe just had gone to sea).Probably not Hiram Gould (#1) of Ohio, or #3 Buell Beebe, also of Ohio and a prosperous farmer, but probably #2, Hiram P. Sweetland, b. March 19, 1825 in pos. Maine, d. Jan. 12, 1858 in LaGrange, Indiana. Unfortunately, that is all I know about him except for a list of children.I am intrigued by your fact that there were other earlier Sweetlands who went to sea.It seems to make a slight connection.Do you have further information?
