    Notes:

    Birth:
    Benjamin's headstone says he was born February 13, 1790.

    Baptism:
    Original baptism records could not be found at Archives; DPHW transcribed copy only. I noted that no hometown or date was given on Benjamin's baptism record, however three preceding baptism records are for Feb. 28 and they too are for Ferryland families. Someone had noted in book that date may be Feb 29. Since 1790 wasn't a leap year, this cannot be correct; Feb 28 is most likely date.(KR)

    Occupation:
    Benjamin Sweetland provides details of a survey that he carried out, as directed by the Colonial Secretary, for the construction of a new road between St. John's and Trepassey.

    Residence:
    Sometime in the latter half of 1836, Benjamin Sweetland moved with his family to Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.
