Notes:

A very authoritative treatment of george Phelps can be found in the "Puritan Great Migration Project" at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Phelps-76

The birthplace in England of George Phelps is not known. It has been claimed that he arrived in 1630 on the "Mary and John", but as the first record of him in Dorchester was May 1635 it is more likely that he did not arrive on the "Mary and John". Possibly he is the passenger George P. who arrived on the "Recovery" in 1634.

He was with the group which moved to Windsor with Rev. John Warham.

He married first by 1638 to Philura Randall, the daughter of Phlip Randall, with whom he had 5 children. Philura died 29 Apr 1638 in Windsor.

On 2 Nov 1648 he married the widow of Thomas Dewey, Frances whose maiden name is unknown, with whom he had 3 additional children.

George Phelps died in Westfield 8 May 1687.

George Phelps appears in the "Great Migration Begins: Series" and all the above information is from that source.
