    • The will of James Sweet of Portsmouth is dated 23 Apr 1718 and proved 13 Dec 1725. It refers to, but does not name, his former wife; mentions present wife Mary; sons Thomas, James, & Samuel; two sons-in-law: William Hill and William Allen.

      James's wife has been identified as Mary Greene, who is probably his second wife. (The American Genealogist, Vol 48, p 224)
