Sweet-3010 and Sweet-1880 appear to represent the same person because: These are most likely the same person. The birth date is off by five years but is uncertain. Sweet-3010 has very little information to go on, but is similar to Sweet-1880 in death date. There was only one George Sweet that died in Exeter, RI in 1796, his probate is on Sweet 1880. Thanks!
