- Christiana Moyer Carson (1806-1887) was a daughter of John Moyer and Elizabeth Meagley. She was also the mother of Lester Carson, so John Moyer was Lester’s grandfather.
In History of Montgomery County, there is a profile of Lester which includes the statement: “The paternal grandfather of the mother of Lester Carson was Henry Moyer, who married Christiana Lathers.”
Lester Carson not only knew his grandfather John Moyer, but it's reasonable to consider that he also knew his great-grandmother, whom he identifies as Christiana Lathers.
See History of Montgomery County, Part II by Washington Frothingham, © 1892, p. 26. Lester Carson probably wrote this profile himself. See also the profile of his brother Isaac, pp. 26-27. (Joe Dooley)

*****************
Mr. Sweet was a son of John Sweet, born at Grosvenors Corners, June 9, 1847, and was united in marriage with Mary E. Estes, Sept. 20, 1870. He was a veteran of the Civil war, a member of Company E of the 64th regiment, in the infantry branch of the service, having enlisted in 1864, and served until the end of the war, and was mustered out at Washington, D. C., in 1865. He was in a number of the minor battles near the close of the war, and also in the siege of Petersburg. As a result of the war his sight was impaired for 12 years, and he was totally blind the past six years, but with the aid of his cane he went to the post office, the stores, a few near neighbors and also to church. Our veteran friend was quite a reader ever after the war, and when no longer able to read his devoted wife and youngest daughter, Daisy, or son, John, read a daily paper to him so that up to within a week of his death his mind was in touch with the world's great events. Thursday, March 16, 1916, from a peaceful sleep, his spirit passed on to the higher life. Funeral services were held Saturday at 1:30 p. m., conducted by his pastor, Rev. F. G. Heaxt. Among relatives from a distance were Fred Sweet and family of Syracuse; Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Fitzgerald, Floyd and Lee Sweet of Schenectady; Mr. and Mrs. George McKee of Howes Cave; J. L. Dorn of Cobleskill, and Mrs. Kate Van Derwerker and daughter, Olive, of Espserance. He is survived by his widow; five sons, three daughters, and nephews and nieces."

A Tribute to John S. Sweet, Jr.
The funeral of the late John S. Sweet was held from the Sloansville M. E. church on Thursday, P. M., Rev. Timothy Meek officiating. Interent in Valley cemetery by the side of his mother, in compliance with his request.
John was a quiet, unassuming boy, having few intimate friends, but beloved by those who knew him best. He had no bad habits and lived an exemplary Christian life. For several years he lived with his parents at Sloansville, and only one intimate with the family, will ever know the love he felt toward that wonderful mother, who preceded him to the better land two years ago in March. When the home was broken up he accompanied her to Schenectady, where he has since made his home with his sister Kate.
A year ago in April he suffered an attack of influenza, and never recovered form the effects of the disease, but his death came as a distinct shock to the family, as he was apparently in his usual health the day he died.
The floral tributes were beautiful symbols from friends and relatives.
John is gone, but his influence will long remain with those who knew and loved him best.
