Richard 3 Sweet (John 2-1)married Priscilla Carpenter (don't know when). Richard 3 Sweet was a Baptist church elder at Kingstown RI in the area set off in 1721 as N. Kingstown. His wife Priscilla was probably born about 1663 based on when her mother, Pricilla Benet, died (20 Oct 1663)in MA. It seems reasonable Pricilla & Richard married about ca.1680, and their children born starting in the 1680's.
