James Sweet on 8 Nov 1686 deeded to eldest son Philip of Prudence Island all right of land in Providence "as my father, John Sweet, was one of the first purchasers." On the same date James also deeded to son James of Prudence Island and son Valentine of Kingstowne, land in Mashantatack.
On 4 Apr 1695 James Sweet testified he was about 73 years old.
In 1696 James Sweet was of Providence.
He was the first of the so-called "Bonesetter Sweets." His son Benoni followed in his footsteps in this profession.
