Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Hannah Sweet was born 8 Feb 1711/12, East Greenwich, Kent Co., RI.

    Notes:

    The marriage record identifies her as Hannah Sweet, daughter of Henry of East Greenwich.

    I am not sure that this birth date is the one for this Hannah, but the location and father's name agree, and her age matches James's.

    Apparently she already had a daughter, Waite Sweet, who later married her husband's son, Uriah Matteson, in 1764. The bride and groom must have been step-siblings.

    Hannah married James Matteson 25 Feb 1748/49. James (son of Henry Matteson, Jr. and Judith Weaver) was born 20 Mar 1711/12; died 1795. [Group Sheet]
