Looking for our Amos Sweet - 2019

We have spent years looking for our Amos Sweet, husband to Dorcas (possibly Mary Dorcas with unknown last name).  They are the parents of Sarah Grace Sweet, who married Daniel Wood.  *See right hand notes for more known details.

Our Amos - husband of Mary Dorcas (possibly just Dorcas) unknown surname, unknown parentage
      Amos Sweet - b. (ca. 1768-1773)
      Dorcas or Mary Dorcas ____ - b. (ca. 1771-1775)
           Amos Sweet - b. about 1791
           Elias Sweet - b. 1784  d. 1832
           Sarah Grace Sweet - b. 1799  d. 1863
           Lydia Sweet - b. about 1802, d. 1885


⍉ 

Amos Sweet - husband of Mercy Carpenter and son of Amos Sweet and Elizabeth Straight
In the process, we have been able to discover this Amos is not our ancestor.  This couple is having children at the same time as our Amos and Dorcas, and this Amos becomes Amos from Canada.  The early research shows Canada Amos' dates on our ancestor.  We have been able to prove that those dates belong to Canada's Amos and not ours.
    Amos Sweet - b. 5 Mar 1766 Kingston, RI, d. 10 May 1838 Dunham, Quebec, Canada
    Mercy Carpenter - b. ca 1768 d. 14 Nov 1828, Dunham, Quebec, Canada
          Benjamin abt 1788 d. bef 1863
          StephenVanrensselaer - b. 1792
          Phoebe Sweet - b. abt 1793; d. 30 Jul 1858
          Amos Sweet - b. 19 Aug 1797; d. 29 Oct 1872
          Elizabeth (Betsy) b. 1799
          Temperance b. 1 Jan 1800 d. 8 Sep 1858
          Joseph Carpenter - b. Apr 1805; d. 29 Dec 1887
          Mercy Sweet - b. Oct 1808; d. 3 Sep 1890
          Hannah - b. 1810
   

Amos Sweet - son of David Sweet and Mercy Sweet of Beekman, Dutchess, NY
I believed for some time that this Amos was 'our Amos'.  However upon finding a school record listing his children, I no longer believe this man is ours.  Amos undoubtedly lived for a time in Rensselaer County, New York, and then moved, as did his father David to Beekman, Dutchess, New York.
      Amos Sweet - b. 26 Dec 1755 East Greenwich, RI  d. of Beekman, Cayuga, New York
      married ?
          children:  (from a school record Amos of Beekman Noxon's school Nov 1795-1796, gender and counts fitting well with 1790 census)
            Rufus
            Mary
            David
            Amos Jr.
            George



Amos Sweet - son of Amos Sweet and Hannah Richardson, husband of Sally Sweet
This Amos appears to have been born and died in Attleboro, Bristol,  MA.
      Amos Sweet - b. 30 Jun 1766 Attleboro, MA  d.
      Sally Sweet - b.       mar. - 16 Jun 1796
            Clarrissa - b. 3 Oct 1796
            Summer - b. 27 May 1800
            Margareet - b. 14 Feb 1802
            Amos - b. 3 Dec 1804
            Hannah - b. 19 Feb 1810
            Hannah - b.24 Aug 1810
            Joabert - b. 3 Jan 1812
            Joabert - b. 1 Oct 1818

By reason of well documented wife and children, born in Attleboro, MA, we can safely rule this man out as 'our Amos'.  Although I believed Amos and Hannah lived in Attleboro their entire lives a theory that he spent some time

Dear Sir,
    I called you today about looking up three maps for me.  I am looking for Amos Sweet, which are listed in the screen clipping below.  They include:

  Amos Sweet   Book #4, Map #34, Old Folder D,  Card #4341

Thank you for your assistance.  I have included the requested $18 for printing and mailing a little something to buy a donut while you search.  Thank you for your help.

The Amos Sweet I am looking for is estimated to have been born about 1765, and lived in Stephentown, Rensslaer when it was still Albany County, New York.  Thank you.
