Virtue and Valentine Sweet
Valentine Sweet was born on 14 Feb, 1791 in New York. The Sweet family had come from Rhode Island. Virtue Kelly, an Irish woman no doubt, married Valentine in New York in 1811. They moved to Polo, Ogle, Illinois between 1850 and 1859. Polo had a tunnel for the underground railroad. Their daughter Sarah married her husband Daniel Morse in Illinois in 1858. Daniel and his young bride and first born son returned to New York in 1860 because he thought he might be drafted to fight in the Civil War. After the war Sarah and Daniel moved to Kansas to farm.

Valentine Sweet is such a wonderful name. I have friends in Australia with the surname ‘Monks’ and yes…they did name their first son Christian!
