Bonnie, Yes, Philip could have been married to both Marys as you suggest. But there wre more than one Philip Greene in RI at this time. Philip of West Greenwich is identified in Frank L. Greene as having married Theodosia Spencer and then Mary (Reynolds) Sweet. Philip of Warwick is identified in Louise Brownell Clarke, "The Greenes of Rhode Island." Comfort Baker's will administration identifies his daughter,Mary, as the wife of Philip of Exeter. Is Philip of Exeter the same person as Philip of West Greenwich? The records of both West Greenwich and Exeter need to be examined to try to answer that question? Did Philip and Theodosia in West Greenwich execute any deeds after 1750 when a Philip married Mary Baker in Exeter. If so, then, Philip of Exeter and Philip of West Greenwich are different persons. Are there other mentions of Philip of Exeter in Exeter records other than his marriage to Mary Baker and the mention in Comfort Baker's will administraiton? What can we learn from these other mentions of PG of Exeter? Does Philip of West Greenwich disappear from WG records during the time that a Philip is mentioned in the Exeter records? WG references from Arnold's VRRI to Philip Greene: Beginning in Sep 1753 and continuing until Dec 1777 Philip Greene, Justice, officiated in 33 weddings. The first marriage at which is officiated which was: Joseph Baker and Freelove Bates, both of Exeter, is of particular interest. Who is Joseph Baker? How is he related to Mary? Is this the link to tie Philip of WG to Philip of Exeter? Did Philip of West Greenwich execute deeds between 1750 and his 1783 marriage to Mary Sweet? Was he joined by a wife, Mary, or did a wife, assign her dower rights?

Here is what I know, Mary Baker, only surviving child of Comfort Baker, and Elizabeth Haxton. Comfort's will admin. by Benoni Hall, inventory taken by Capt. Simon Smith and Benoni Gardner. She was born 3 Feb 1716/17 so would be a spinster of age approx. 34/35. Comfort died 6 Nov 1749, and his estate was processed 27 Nov 1749. Mary Baker and Philip Greene were married 31 Dec. 1750 by Peleg Tripp, in Exeter. "Philip Green of Exeter gives receipt to Benoni Hall of Exeter, guardian of Mary Baker, daughter of Comfort Baker, decd (my now wife) of said Philip Greene, for goods belongg to Mary"" (Bates Collection, Vol. 4, page 84) Too my knowledge, no children were born to this union. The Mary (as Philip's) wife in his will, could possibly be Mary (Reynolds) Sweet, instead of Mary Baker, as I cannot find a death date for her. Bonnie

Hi Bill Can you send me your e-mail address, and I can free up the list. I have just located some interesting information, that might solve all of the problems. Thanks, Bonnie
