The children born to Thomas and Jane SWEATMAN/SWEETMAN between 1804 and 1808 in St.Bartholomew's, Burwash, Sussex are not the children of the 1820 settler. They are the children of Thomas SWEATMAN and Jane BALCOMB, who married in Burwash in 1803, and after Jane's death Thomas married yet another Jane, Jane STONE, in 1809 in Ewhurst. These Thomas/Janes are not directly connected to the settler family.
