FOREWORD

Some have supposed that the Swett, Sweat, Swete, Sweet fam ilies are all of common origin. Swett and Swete, however, seem to have been two distinct and separate families. John de la Swete had a shop in Canterbury, Eng., in 1494. Later he is called sim ply Jdhn Swete. Here the origin of this surname is shown. He was John de la suite, of the retinue of some nobleman or digni tary of the church. The surname Swete is often found in Devon shire. The coat of arms of this family was printed in the sev enth volume of the New England Historic-Genealogical Register, as though it belonged to the Swett, or Sweat family. This must be an error. Swet is an earlier Anglo-Saxon surname. William Swet is mentioned as a tenant of Hugh de Chauncaus, at Upton, in the reign of Henry III. about 1216. The Hundred Rolls contain the name~ of Swet le Bone (Goodman Swet), in co. Norfolk, Adam Swct in co. Oxford, Roger son of John Swet in co. Cambridge, about the year 1275.-See Banlsley's Dictionary of English an

SvVETT GENEALOGY

Just where John Swett of· New'bury came from has not been lear;ned. He brought a wife and four sons with him. He was admitted to the freedom of 1fassachusetts Colony, 18 May 1642, and was one of the grantees of Newbury, Mass., 7 December 1642. He must be carefully distinguished from John Sweet of Boston about the same time. John Swett of Newbury had wife, Sarah, who died I I Dec. 1650. He may have had a second wife, Phebe, who died, a widow, 6 May 1665. He lived on the first lot east of the old landing, on the north side of Parker's River. He died 13 June, 1651-2. The monument erected on the lower green at Newbury, to the memory of the first settlers, does not bear the name of John Swett, but of Stephen, his son, it being then sup posed that Stephen Swett was the first one of the family to settle in Newbury. The children of John Swett were, 2. JOHN, JR., b. about 16o3; m. :Mercy Rouse, (2) Jane (Hodges?). 3. JosEPII h. --; m. Elizabeth Taylor, (2) l\frs. Mary Buttolph. 4. STEPHEN b. about 1620; m. Hannah Merrill, (2) Rebecca Smith. 5. BENJAMIN b. about 1626; m. Hester ·weare.

2 1 JoHN SWETT (John ), born in England about 16o3, was an inhabitant of 01arlestown, Mass., in 1649, and is called on Church records "son of John of Newbury." He was a shoemaker. Con stable in 1650. He married ( 1) Mercy, datt. of Faithful and Sttretrust (Starr) Rouse of Charlestown, who died 13 Feb. 1685-6, (2) Jane (Hodges?). He died 18 May, 1693, aged 90. His will, dated 22 March 1687-8, gives legacies to his brothers, Joseph and Stephen and to his daughter-in-la\v, j~ne Hodges: It may be inferred that the following children had died.

THIRD GENERATION 6 1 JOHN SWETT (Stephen2, John ) born in Newbury, Mass., 20 Oct. 1648, is said on town records to have died 24 Sept. 1650, but John is here probably a clerical error for Stephen, since John Swe_tt of Newbury, born in 1648 according to a deposition, mar ried, 7 Dec. 1670, Mary; daughter of Samuel and Mary (Bidfield) Plummer.
