From "Original Owners of the Providence Plantations" page 31,  John Sweet received a home lot in the first division of lands at Providence.  He removed to Warwick, and was chosen Commissioner in 1653.  His home lot became the property of Edward Manton, as appears from the following extract from the town record:  "Nov. 27, 1657: "John Greene Sen. sold to Valentine Whitman a house lot lying between the lot of Wm. Harris on the north and Edward Manton on the south."  This home lot was owned by Shadrac Manton, March 6, 1685.  The western part of this lot is now occupied by the State House.
