Editing my earlier comment about duplicates. There is some conflation going on with this family and it appears to be in the work of George Sears Greene cited here. He conflates Renewed Sweet, daughter of James Sweet and Mary Green who was born in 1671 with Meribah Sweet, daughter of Mary Unknown, widow of Isaac (or John, still TBD) Sweet who later married Ezekiel Holliman. Holliman renamed Meribah to "Renewed" and she married John (or Jan) Gereardy by 1654; their first daughter Mary was born 11 Oct 1654 in Rhode Island. It is this John Gereardy and wife Meribah/Renewed who appeared in the 1681 will of Mary Unknown Sweet Holliman as shown in Austin's "Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island". George attaches the children Mary, Phillis and John born in the mid 1650s to the Renewed Sweet who was born in 1671. G2G posting coming up...

The profile of Martha Sweet has been disconnected as a daughter; she is a grand-daughter.

Greene-4743 and Greene-306 appear to represent the same person because: clear dupe

Greene-2584 and Greene-306 appear to represent the same person because: the confusion was an added name and spouse that was for Mary Margaret Green, not the same person
