Notes:

NORMAN PHELPS JR

Norman Phelps Jr was born in the vicinity of Bradford, Vermont on 9 Nov 1787. We arrived at this conclusion after analyzing much confusing and conflicting information. The phelpsinc.com website shows Fort Ann, New York in Nov 1788. Norman Phelps himself had listed 4 different States of birth on 4 different census records; New York (1850), Massachusetts (1855), Vermont (1860) and Connecticut (1870)!! This confusion is apparently from his father Norman Phelps, Sr having moved around considerably during the few years before and after Norman's birth. This movement is logged in Norman Sr's military pension file. Approximate dates are given for each move in terms of number of years after the war. It is very approximate. Apparently Norman was aware of the movement, but was himself confused as to which State his father was actually living when Norman Jr was born. The only documentation we have is a log entry by Mrs. Lydia Phelps Baldwin of Bradford, Vermont who logged every birth she attended over a 52 year span, over 500 names (New England Historical & Genealogical Register 1950 Vol 104 P263). She recorded the birth of a son to Norman Phelps on 9 Nov 1787. Unfortunately she did not record the spouses name or the sons name, so we can not be certain that this is the same person. However Norman Sr did not have any sons other than Norman in this time period. Mrs Baldwin was a first cousin to Norman Sr and a review of her log entries shows that she also assisted in delivery of Dewey and Horsford children who were related to Norman Sr's mother, Desire Dewey. Norman Jr's grave stone shows died 19 May 1871 age 83 & 6 mos, which is Nov 1787. Considering that his father's pension record shows that he was in Vermont in that approximate time period and that the midwife keeping the log was his fathers close relative, then this birth date and place becomes quite plausible.

According to the 1790 Federal Census Norman was living in Kingsbury. According to his fathers pension file, they lived in Kingsbury for a total of 3 years then moved to Fort Ann where Norman Jr lived until sometime prior to 1870 when he moved to Queensbury, New York.

The records for the War of 1812 show Norman Phelps Jr as a private in the 23rd Regiment (Cook's) of the New York Militia.

He died 19 May 1871 in (Queensbury) Warren County, New York. He is buried in Seelye Cemetery in Warren County, New York.

Notes:

BIRTH:
Abt 1803 in Warren County, New York. We have birth years running from 1801 to 1811 from various census records. We are using 1803 as that is what is on her gravestone in Seelye Cemetery.(Other than the 1811 dates, all other entries are 1801-1805) Three New York State census records (1855, 1865 , 1875) show her birthplace as Warren County. We have no record of her parentage. They were several Burdick families in Warren County at the approximate time of her birth. We believe her parents were Daniel Burdick and Annie Shaw of Caldwell (now called Lake George). The 1810 census shows two female children under the age of 10. One of which could be Minerva. We also show a DNA match with Daniel's brother Ephraim. We also show a DNA match with Annie's brother Ephraim, Annie's brother David and 3 matches with Annie's sister Mary.

MARRIAGE:
1st marriage to Fredrick Plumb by 1824. Based on Frederic Plumbe and his wife Minerva Plumbe being named on a court summons dated 24 Apr 1824. The birth of their only known child, Martha Minerva Plumb 30 Oct 1838 was in Bolton, Warren, New York. This birth is based on the Death Certificate of Martha Minerva, where birth date and parents’ names are given.
2nd marriage abt 1842 to Norman Phelps Jr. Marriage date based on wording in 1855 New York State Census for Fort Ann, Washington County. Minerva listed living in Washington County for 13 years, while her husband listed living in Washington County for life. This could imply that Minerva moved to Washington County upon her marriage to Norman Phelps. First child (Andrew James Phelps) has birth date listed of 30 Dec 1842 (12 1/2 years earlier) on his death certificate. (Although only Norman's name is listed on certificate as parent). 1865 NY census states married 2 times and 10 children. We believe that this means 10 children total for her and Norman. We only know of 9. Possibly her and Frederic had an earlier child that we do not know about.

1824 Court Case: 1824 court case. She testified against Isaac Simpson, as he was charge with raping her. Documents in the Warren County Archives show some details in the case, but do not show if Simpson was convicted or not.
