Susannah Greene was born in Rhode Island on 16 Jul 1694 of Benjamin Greene and Susannah Holden. [2]
She married Phillip Arnold on 10 Jun 1714 in Rhode Island. [3][4]
When Susannah's father, Captain Benjamin Greene, died in 1757, in his will dated 10/27/1755 he left her sons Philip and Stephen a part of his farm, called "Sennasset" (situated on the north side of the Pauwtuxet River, about a half a mile from Arnold's Bridge (Dutee Arnold's place). (https://archive.org/stream/greenesofrhodeis00gree#page/752/mode/2up)
[5]
Susannah Arnold passed away abt 1746 and apparently left a will.
[6][7]
1746 date given for Susannah's death and her father Benjamin's death in 1757 with bequest to her of "Sennasset" do not fit.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Susanna by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
Amey Sweet Sprague cannot be her daughter. She was, apparently, still married and having children by Phillip Arnold. In Amey's info, her FAGM states her mother was Susanna Spencer Sweet, not Susanna Greene Sweet. Amey needs to be removed from this listing. There was, apparently, more than 1 Benjamin Sweet running around Rhode Island in this time period.
I have counted 33 children... Would this be correct? Are they her own or her husband's with other women? e.g. Woods children...
What do you think about this?
Thank you,

I am in the process of researching this. I saw that there 3 profiles with for this person, and thought I wait for them to be merged then move forward with documenting the family.
Harold Templeton: We have changed Green into Greene. Thanks for your suggestion!
Adams-16917: It seems that Benjamin's will was signed in 1737, long before Susannah died, and (apparently) it was not changed... I am still looking for more bibliography to support this theory. Welcome all contributions to this issue!
