Notes:

After years of seemingly unexplained DNA matches to our mother, we have finally came to the inescapable conlusion that our mother was the result of an extramarital affair between Mabel Seeley and an unknown male. A first cousin match, along with 2 half grand niece matches, a half grand nephew match and numerous other more distant matches showed that mother was a grandchild of Levi Phelps and Anna Degroat. The two different1/2 great niece matches, along with the others, showed quite convincingly that mother was the biological child of Glaud Phelps.

Birth:
Mayville is in Fremont Township

Buried:
Manasota Memorial Park

Glaud married Nellie Marie Angle on 6 Feb 1910 in Saginaw, Saginaw, Michigan, USA, and was divorced on 12 Nov 1926 in Genesee, Michigan, USA. Nellie (daughter of James Angle and Orpha Blackford) was born on 6 Mar 1891 in Flushing, Belmont, Ohio, USA; died on 22 Jun 1954 in Sarasota, Florida, USA; was buried in Sarasota, Sarasota County, Florida, USA.

Notes:

Birth: 18 Feb1850 in Ira, Cayuga, New York per Michigan death certificate.

On the 1861 Canadian Census for Cramahe, Northumberland, Canada, his father & Aunt, Levi and Lucinda appeared in the household of Abert(age 54) & Abigail Porter(age 50). Also in the household children, Maurice Porter(age 25 and Porthena Porter(age 22). All were listed as born in the U.S. Willis appears on the 1861 Census in Brighton, Northumberland County. (Cramahe is about 11 miles from Brighton). We believe that his wife Sophronia died approximately 1861. This is probably indicative that she died prior to the 1861 census.

On the 1850 census in Ira, Cayuga, New York Willis (must be Levi) is listed as 6 months old on 8/10/1850.

Levi was a preacher for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints. Elder Levi Phelps had given sermons in Flint, Saginaw and Grand Rapids according to newspaper listings. By 1920 he was living in Saline, Missouri where his third wife Anna Bierie died in 1929. He appeared on the Saline census in both 1920 and 1930. He moved back to Michigan and died in Tuscola County in 1935 at the age of 85. He appeared on the 1930 census with a fourth wife, Louie(Louise/Lorie?). We know little about her. He was unmarried on his death certificate. His death certificate listed him as a retired minister.

Died:
Age: 85

Levi married Anna Maria(Mariah) Degroat on 18 Feb 1882 in Arcadia, Lapeer, Michigan, USA. Anna (daughter of Anson Henry DeGroat and Mary Mills) was born in 1859 in North Dorchester, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada; died on 17 Mar 1900 in Surrey, Clare, Michigan, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

1870 living in residence of Alexander and Phoebe Carpenter. Phebe is the daughter of Abner Chase and Lydia Upton. Also next door on the census is Sharley Wilson, another daughter of Abner and Lydia. Abner and Lydia are quakers in Yarmouth, Elgin County Ontario. We have multiple autosomal dna matches with Abner & Lydia although we do not know the exact relationship. Also both sisters had either a son or grandson of John Mills/Abigail Minard as a witness at their weddings in Canada. We also have multiple autosomal dna matches to John Mills/Abigail Minard, although we do not have the exact line fleshed out. Mary may be a granddaughter to them.

Based on numerous DNA matches we believe that Amasa Chase was the illegitimate father of Mary Mills. He was living in Yarmouth at the time. Numerous matches show that his DNA goes through Mary Mills line to her descendants. After Mary died, two of her children were 'adopted' by Amasa's sister, Phoebe Carpenter in Lapeer, Michigan. We believe Mary's mother was a child or grandchild of John Mills & Abigail Minard. Again, numerous DNA matches to Mills/Minard come through Mary's line. Mary would have grown up in one of the Mills households. Unfortunately, the 1851 census for the section of Yarmouth that the Mills family lived in is missing. The 1841 census was head of household only, and we cannot identify Mary. The 1861 Census shows Mary living with her husband, Anson Degroat.

In a will written in July 1883 (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89SC-B6MF) ( image 107 and image 111) by Sharley (Chase) Carpenter (sister of Phoebe Carpenter and brother of Amasa Chase), Sharley referred to her "niece Anna Maria Phelps" and on another page referred to her "niece Anna Mariah Phelps". Sharley also lived next door to Phoebe at the time. (The correct term should have been grandniece.) The other children of Mary Mills are not mentioned.
