PRISCILLA CARPENTER,

  • b. 24 July 1661,
  • d. East Greenwich, R.I., 1745;
  • m. prob. Rehoboth, say 1681, RICHARD SWEET,
    • b. prob. Warwick, R.I., say 1660,
    • d. East Greenwich (not Westerly), R.I., 1744,
    • son of John2 and Elizabeth (______) Sweet;
  • both bur. Richard Sweet Lot, East Greenwich (RI Cems 313; Austin 110, 121, 194–95; WarTR 105–7).
  • Richard Sweet was elder of North Kingstown Six Principle Baptist Church, 1710–1740 (NKingstown Hist 438).
    • Electronic databases often identify Richard Sweet’s mother, Elizabeth, as the daughter of Robert Jeffreys.
      • This appears to be based solely on the fact that Elizabeth Jeffreys (aged 6 in 1635) and Elizabeth (______) (Sweet) Wilson (aged 55 [not 45] in 1684)—the latter had been the longtime wife of Richard’s father, John2 Sweet (d. 1677)—were both born about 1629 (see Hotten 77; Austin 194–95).
      • In his sketch of John1 Sweet, however, Robert Charles Anderson gives no surname for John2 Sweet’s wife (GMB 3:1789–90). And in his sketch of Robert Jeffreys, Anderson states that “[n]o record for any member of this family has been found in New England after 1646 [WP 5:118], so they probably returned to England or removed to some other colony outside New England” (GM 4:33 [WP = Winthrop Papers]).
