Our Sweet family branch also participated in John Chandler's Sweet Family DNA study. We are descended from Oliver Sweet of East Greenwich, RI. He is a member of John Chandler's Group I and is descended from: John Sweet of Salem b. abt. 1579 John b 1620 Richard b. 1662 Benjamin b. 1698 Benjamin b. 1722 Oliver b. 1746 Benjamin b. 1780 Joseph b. 1817 Chester b, 1855 Our representative in the DNA project was a great-grandson of Chester. Chester is my maternal grandfather. Our Oliver was b. Aug 18, 1746 and d. bet 1747 and 1836. He was married to Susanna Rice Feb 6, 1767. He had a second wife, Catherine b. Jul 19 1779. Oliver and Susanna were the parents of Benjamin Sweet b. Feb 13, 1780, d. Oct 10, 1829 and Joseph Sweet b. bef. 1779. I don't have any other children of Oliver and Susanna or Oliver and Catherine, but I suspect there may be more. Oliver had at least 5 siblings. If this Oliver is the Oliver of RI that you are looking for, we can supply much more information. How are you related to Oliver?
