SWEET The Sweet family of Amsterdam, New York, descends from Dr. Samuel Sweet, immigrant an- cestor, who came to America from Wales, where the family name is not uncommon. A remarkable fact connected with the family is that each of the four generations in the United States has produced one or more mem- bers who have been noted for their skill in the treatment of diseases of the bones and joints. Their methods have been handed down from father to son, and while differing from the regular prescribed treatment for such diseases laid down by regular schools of medicine, have been very successful. Each generation of the four has had a Dr. Sweet who enjoyed more than a local reputation for skill in bone surgery, that is described as a "simple, natural treatment."
(I) Dr. Samuel Sweet was born in Wales. He settled in Rhode Island at a date previous to the revolutionary war, and was then a com- paratively young man. He was noted around Providence for his skill in bone treatment and must have had the method taught him by his father in Wales. By his "natural treatment" he was able to perform some cures of dis- located bones and joints that were considered very remarkable. Leaving Providence, Rhode Island, he journeyed north and westward with his wife, whom he married in Rhode Island, using the method of transportation then avail- able-the covered wagon drawn by horses or oxen. He settled at Bullshead, Montgomery county, New York, on a farm where he re- sided until his death at an extreme old age. He was often called upon by his pioneer neigh- bors to treat their disabled or disjointed limbs and gained a reputation that extended far be- yond local limits. He reared a family and it is a matter of regret that the name of his wife has not been preserved.
(II) Dr. Waterman, son of Dr. Samuel Sweet, was born in Providence, Rhode Island,
April 8, 1776, died 1849. Ile mberitel the method of bone treatment followed by inas father. His fame extended over a large erc. tion of country, and he was much sought after by those afflicted with diseases he was reputed to successfully cure. To his business of a healer he added that of farmer, and was an active worker in the Baptist church. He studied theology and was licensed to preach, which he often did, in fact was known as widely as a preacher as a healer. During his latter years his eyes failed and he became totally blind. So skilled was he and of such delicate touch that his blindness did not in- terfere with his work of healing. IIe was greatly respected all over Montgomery county. At the time of his death, 1849, he was living in Amsterdam, New York. Rev. Waterman Sweet married, in New York, Elizabeth Hodges, born in New England, died in Ams- terdam, and buried in Florida. Montgomery county, New York.
(III) Dr. Waterman (2), son of Dr. Water- man (1) and Elizabeth (Hodges) Sweet, was born in Florida, Montgomery county, New York, August 12, 1809. died August 20, 1886. He also became famous as a "bone healer," having succeeded to his father's practice. He cultivated a small farm successfully and died possessed of considerable property. He and his wife were members of the Baptist church. He married, in Florida, New York, Ruth Mal- lory, born in Florida, June 1. 1815, died March 28, 1902. Children: 1. Elizabeth, born Au- gust 1, 1839, died July 25, 1859. 2. and 3. Twins, died in infancy. 4. Waterman (3), April 17, 1843. 5. David M., see forward. 6. Ira S., March 14. 1849; resides in Utica, New York, and is a successful practitioner of the family method of bone treatment : married Martha Brown and has five children. 7. Sherod L., November 6, 1850, died aged three years. 8. Leonard G., November 21. 1852, died January 21, 1890.
(IV) Dr. David M., son of Dr. Waterman (2) and Ruth (Mallory) Sweet, was born in Florida. Montgomery county, New York, June 4, 1845. He quite naturally adopted the pro- fession of his father, in which he has achieved remarkable success besides a local patronage. people from all over the United States coming to consult him concerning their bone ailments. He has resided for many years in Amsterdam, New York, where he is a highly respected citizen and professional man. He has now (1909) largely withdrawn from active prac- tice, surrendering it to his son, who is the fifth of his name to follow the particular methods employed. The "Old Original Sweet's Liniment" was made by the emigrant who
1442
HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS
settled in Rhode Island, and the same liniment is used to this day. Dr. David M. Sweet mar- ried, December 23, 1863, Hannah M. Greene, born June II, 1843, in Greenfield, Saratoga county, New York. Children: I. Emma L., born November II, 1864; married John S. Sterling, of Pattersonville, New York; they have a son, Lincoln S., born October 11, 1894. 2.

Ransler, born in Schenectady, New York, June 13, 1874; has one child, Vinnie M. 3. Vinnie E., August 21, 1873, died February 3, 1885. 4. Infant, deceased. Mrs. Hannah M. (Greene) Sweet is a daughter of Anson Greene, born in Saratoga county, New York, January 23, 1814, died June 1, 1891, and Lucinda (Lincoln) Greene, born in Saratoga county, March 7, 1818, died November 9, 1851. Anson Greene was the son of James Greene, born in Rhode Island, died in Saratoga county, New York, aged seventy-seven. James Greene married Pamelia Hendrick, who died in May, 1868, aged seventy-one. Lucinda Lincoln, wife of Anson Greene, was daughter of Henry and Hannah ( White) Lincoln, who were mar- ried in Rhode Island, settled in Saratoga county, New York, where they died, both having passed their eightieth year.
RUDD The American ancestor of the Ruds of Bennington, Vermont, and Hoosick, New York, is Lieu- tenant Jonathan Rudd, who came from Eng- land, settled in New Haven, Connecticut, 1640; was freeman of Saybrook, 1644, took oath of allegiance in Hartford, 1651, was of importance in the town of Saybrook, assistant to Captain Mason in the fort there, 1652, leather sealer, 1656, and held main public of- fices of trust. He married, 1646-47, the name unknown, but she was one of the principals in the most romantic marriages ever performed in Connecticut. The wedding day was fixed and a magistrate engaged to perform the cere- mony, but a great snowstorm prevented his coming. Application was made to Governor Winthrop, but he, deriving authority from Massachusetts, could not legally marry in Massachusetts, but proposed that the contract- ing parties come to the boundary of the col- ony, a narrow stream, and he would marry them from the Massachusetts side. This was done, and Winthrop and his friends from Pequot met the bridal party from Saybrook. Here the ceremony was performed "under the shelter of no roof, by no hospitable fireside,
without accommodations, but those furnished by the snow covered earth, the over-arching Heaven and perchance the sheltering side of a forest of pines or cedars," never perhaps was. the legal rite performed in a situation so wild and solitary and under circumstances so pecu- liar and interesting. From that day the little. stream has been known as Bride Brook. Win- throp in his deposition says: "And at that time, the place had (received) the denomina- tion of Bride Brook." That a considerable party had assembled is evident from the nar- rative, and he further says, "all were well. satisfied with what was done."
(II) Nathaniel, believed to be son of Lieu- tenant Jonathan Rudd, was born in 1660, died April, 1727. He settled at West Farms, in what is now the town of Franklin, where he was one of the organizers of the first church there. He married (first) April, 1685, Mary Post, died November, 1705; (second) Abigail Hartshorn, January 21, 1706. Children by first marriage: Jonathan, born May 22, 1693, married Joanna Gregory ; Mary, February 3, 1695, married Ebenezer Wood; Lydia, died young. Children by second marriage: Na- thaniel, born April 6, 1707 ; Joseph, of further mention ; Daniel, March 12, 1710, married Mary Metcalf ; Sarah, January 23, 1712; Abi- gail, August 6, 1713; Lydia, April 12, 1715; Anna, February 7, 1717; Susanna, March 15, 1719 : Gideon, February 2, 1722 ; Patience, No- vember 6, 1723.
(III) Joseph, son of Nathaniel and Abigail' (Hartshorn) Rudd, was born in Windham, Connecticut, October 31, 1708. He probably died there shortly after the revolution. He married and had several children, as Joseph his son says in this letter, written after the battle of Bennington that "Brother John and my- self," and closes by sending love to his broth- ers and sisters.
(IV) Joseph (2), son of Joseph (1) Rudd, was born in Connecticut, 1740, died 1818. He settled in Vermont, married and was living in Bennington at the time the battle was fought with the British, in 1777. The following let- ter was written to his father:
"Bennington, August 26, A. D. 1777. Honored Father:
After my duty. I take this opportunity to write you, hoping these lines will find you well, as through the goodness of God, they leave me and' my family. We met with a great deal of trouble on the 16th inst., Myself and brother John were preserved through a very hot battle. We killed' and took according to the hest account we can get, about one thousand of the enemy. Our loss was ahout thirty or forty. We marched right up against their breastwork with our small arms, while they fired upon us with their field pieces every half minute, yet they never touched at
1443

man with them. We drove them out of their breastwork, and took their field pieces and pur- sued and killed a great number of them. We took four or five of my neighbors, two Snyders and two Hornbecks. The bigger part of Dutch Hoosac was in the battle against us. They went to the regulars a day or two before the fight. While I was gone, my wife and children went down to Williamstown. After I came home, I went after them and found them at Landlord Simons. I now have them home again. We soon expect the inemy will come upon us again and what I will do with my family, I know not. I want to inform you, that I received your letter, dated August 18. I want to come and see you very much, but when I shall I know not. Remember me to brothers and sisters and inquiring friends. No more at present, but I re- main,
"Your dutiful son, until death, "Joseph Rudd."
This letter is preserved in the Historical Museum at Bennington, Vermont. He was one of the signers of a petition sent to Eng- land and presented to the court of Great Brit- ain in 1767; this petition represented the grievance of the settlers against the govern- ment of New York, and prayed for a confir- mation of the New Hampshire grants held or occupied by them. At the raising of the Hubble house in 1769 a demand was made for a wedding. It was known that Joseph Rudd and Miss Story were engaged. She lived near by. Rev. Mr. Dewey said to Joseph : "If you go and lead Sarah over here I will marry you for nothing." "It's a bargain." Timbers were laid down and the ceremony performed. Joseph Rudd married Sarah Story, who died 1842, aged ninety-eight years. Sarah Story was of revolutionary stock and was acquainted with Colonel Ethan Allen. One of her broth- ers, a boy of sixteen, was taken prisoner with Allen. Another brother was captured by In- dians in Connecticut and the second night he made his escape.
