According to FAGM, mother was Susanna Spencer, not Susanna Green. According to info on Benjamin Sweet (Sweet-2), his wife was Susanna Spencer. And, he was still married to Susanna Spencer when Amey was born. I think Amey's father may well have been a different Benjamin Sweet, and she should be removed as the child to this particular Benjamin Sweet.

Sweet-2743 and Sweet-1 appear to represent the same person because: same name, exact same spouse (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sprague-2), same birth date/location, same death location
