    Notes:

    The information on the Sweet family and their connection to the Greenes came from Jayne at [LACKSWEET@aol.com]. She is a descendant who now lives in Oklahoma. She stated that she had not yet proved all the information. Additional information is found in the Rhode Island Genealogical Register, Vol. 5, No. 4, pp. 344 ff: "Families of James & Benoni Sweet of Warwick," by Alden Gamaliel Beaman.

    Source of the following is Boston Evening Transcript, 26 Aug 1912, at Google News Archive Search:

    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.

    James married Mary Greene Abt 1654, RI. Mary (daughter of Dr. John GREENE and Joan TATTERSHALL) was born 19 May 1633, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. [Group Sheet]

  1. 2.  Philip Sweet, I Descendancy chart to this point (1.James1) was born 15 Jul 1655, Warwick, RI; died Abt Dec 1710, Warwick, RI.

    Notes:

    Philip's will mentions a wife (unnamed), a son Philip, and a daughter Renewed.

    A message board posting says that Philip married Elizabeth Allen (widow of William Allen). (SWEET-L Archives at Rootsweb)

    I have made an assumption that Philip died at Warwick, his place of residence.

    Some genealogies have a Renewed Sweet marrying a John Remington. Is Renewed the same person as Mariam Sweet?

    Philip — Unknown Wife. [Group Sheet]

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

  2. 12.  Philip Sweet, II Descendancy chart to this point (2.Philip2, 1.James1) was born Between 1675 and 1785.

    Notes:

    I am making an assumption that the Philip Sweet mentioned as a son in the will of Philip Sweet (dated 12 Dec 1709 at Warwick) is the same Philip Sweet mentioned as a father in the will of Pentecost Sweet (dated 5 April 1760 at Warwick). The dates seem to fit, and some of the children's names are the same in succeeding generations. However, this needs more research to confirm.

  11. 33.  William Allen, III Descendancy chart to this point (15.Martha3, 3.James2, 1.James1) was born Abt 1691; died 1777.

    Notes:

    According to a genealogy at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, this William Allen married Freelove Tillinghast. He is of the right age and location to have married her, but I have not yet found any documentation. Wayne G. Tillinghast in his book "The Tillinghasts in America" disputes that, offering evidence that William's wife could not have been Freelove Tillinghast -- at least not the daughter of Joseph Tillinghast.

    I suspect that Freelove Allen who married William Remington is a daughter of William & Freelove Allen.

    For the time being, I have placed Freelove Allen as a daughter in this family group, pending further research to confirm. These are assumptions only, based on incomplete evidence.

    According to research of Wayne G. Tillinghast, William & Freelove Allen were admitted to membership in the Second Baptist Church of Newport on 4 March 1729 ("The Tillinghasts in America, The First Four Generations," RIGS 2006 p 150).

    William married Freelove Unknown Abt 1714. Freelove was born Abt 1695; died 1767. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    John Allin of Prudence Island sold a tract of land to William Remington of Portsmouth, schoolmaster, for 750 pounds, 6 Jan 1738/9. This piece of land, 50 acres more or less, on the island was bounded as follows: S by my son William Allin, W on the Sea, N on the land of William Allin my honoured father, E on my own land. Witnessed by Caleb Hill & John Ingraham. (Po Land Ev. Bk 4 p. 142)

    Also, on the same day, John Allin sold land on Prudence Island to his honoured father William Allin. This was 50 acres more or less, bounded as follows: S by William Remington, W on the Sea, N by "my own land." witnessed by William Remington & Caleb Hill.

    Also, on the same day John Allin sold land to Caleb Hill (witnessed by William Remington & Giles Slocum); also to William Havens (witnessed by William Remington & Caleb Hill); and to Giles Slocum (witnessed by William Remington & Caleb Hill).

    About a month later, on 3 Feb 1738/9, John Allin bought land from William Remington, schoolmaster, of Prudence Island in the Township of Portsmouth. The "sum of 750 pounds in good and lawful bills of public credit . . . truly paid by John Allin of Town, County, and Colony aforesaid . . . a tract of land being on Prudence Island . . . 50 acres be it more or less, butted and bounded as followeth: S by land of William Allin Jun, W on the Sea, N on land of William Allin Senior, E on land of sd. John Allin. Witnessed by Caleb Hill & William Sanford. (Po Land Ev. Bk 4 p. 195) This appears to be the same land bought by William Remington from John Allin a month earlier.

    On the same day John Allin bought land from Caleb Hill, witnessed by William Remington; also from William Havens and from Giles Slocum. (Po Land Ev. Bk 4 p. 196, 197, & 198)
