Two Peter Wells who married two Elizabeth Sweet.

180 He died September 16, 1757
Besides the Peter Wells (no 242) of this text, who was son of Peter and Ann (Watson) Wells, and who married 11 Dec 1733, Elizabeth Sweet, a daughter of William, there was living at the same period another Peter Wells, who was son of jonathan and Sarah (Sweet) WELLS and who married 2 Jul 1746, another Elizabeth Sweet, daughter of Richard, of West Greenwich. The records of East Greenwich seem to show that the "Elizabeth, wife of Peter" who died Sep 13, 1757, and the Peter who followed her so soon on Sept 16, 1757, were the latter rather than as stated in the text, the former. These deaths accompany the records of the family of Jonathan Wells in the above town, rather than those of Peter Wells, Sr. which are in South Kingstown.

It is also recorded in East Greenwich that "Sarah Wells, 2nd daughter of Peter," died Sep 18, 1757 (only five days after her mother and two after her father). This cannot be the Peter who was a son of Peter and Ann, inasmuch as he does not appear to have a daughter Sarah, and his 2nd daughter is named Dinah (changed to Elizabeth)

"51. Ann Watson ... married, about 1705, Peter Wells, a son of Peter. he was born in 1681 and died in 1732. After the death of his first wife [Ann Watson] he married Susannah Barker, widow of Peter, and daughter of John Peckham. In 1702 his father deeded to him "for love," a farm of one hundred acres, - the farm upon which he (Peter, Sr.), was then living, "he having behaved himself dutifully to said father in this my aged and feeble condition." In 1711, July 31, the proprietors of Hall's purchase deeded to Peter Wells, Jr., one hundred acres. This farm was what is now know as the J. G. Clarke farm, owned and occupied by his descendants. The original house built by Peter Wells, was one and one-half stories high. The farm was next owned by James Wells, son of Peter, Jr. he, in 1755, sold it to John Whithorne, of Newport, who also purchased two hundred acres on the west and added them to it. In this tract of two hundred acres is the great swamp, the scene of the Indian swamp fight, now called the Indian Fort. Whithorne enlarged the house to its present size (1859). Some ten or 15 years ago, Mr. J. G. Clarke, Jr., took down the old house and erected the present large commodious stone manstion. Whithorne mortgaged the farm to his son-in-law, H. G. (H. J ?Henry John?) Overing, of Newport. Soon afterwards Whithorne died and Overing took possession and sold the farm to the grandfather of Honorable J. G. Clarke. Overing's house in Newport was the headquarters of General Prescott, and it was there that he was surprised by Colonel Barton and made prisoner. Overing was a royalist and left Rhode Island with the British."
