    • Name: Simeon Phelps Junior
    • Reference Number: 6501
    • Residence: Red Creek, Wayne, New York, USA
    • Residence: 1810, Brutus, Cayuga, New York, USA
    • _MILT: 29 Aug 1814, New York, USA

    • Residence: 1840, Victory, Cayuga, New York, USA
    • Possessions: 27 Nov 1843, Cato, Cayuga, New York, USA; Willis Phelps to Simeon Phelps
    • Death: 28 Jan 1848

    Notes:

    Per the Phelps Family book Simeon removed to Cato, New York at the age of nine with others. I believe that he moved with his father, as there are two Simeon Phelps in the Brutus census records, which is right next to Cato. The note in the Phelps book that his father died in Connecticut in 1786 has to be an error. The Phelps book also gives date and birthplace of 1st three children in Burton (Now called Allegeny) New York. Dates of birth were 1814, 1819 and 1823. I am suspicious of that entry as he appears in Cayuga County in the 1810 thru 1840 census, which is 150 miles away. I believe Burton is a transcription or typographical error and the places of birth were actually Brutus. However, I am unable to find citations for the birth records.

    1810 Census age 26-44
    1820 census age 26-44
    1830 census age 40-50
    1840 census age 50-60
    All of these ages are consistent with being born 1781

    Found 3 deed records for Simeon Phelps in Cayuga County. One in 1813 was labeled Jr. The two in 1820 and 1822 were not labeled Jr or Sr.

  1. 2.  Simeon Phelps, SrSimeon Phelps, Sr was born about 1754 in East Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA (son of Elisha Phelps and Elizabeth Holcomb); died between 1820 and 1830 in Brutus, Cayuga, New York, USA.

    Other Events:

    • Reference Number: 6506
    • Residence: 1810, Brutus, Cayuga, New York, USA
    • Residence: 1820, Brutus, Cayuga, New York, USA

    Notes:

    Perhaps married Submit Holcomb per "The Phelps family of America and their English ancestors, with copies of wills, deeds, letters, and other interesting papers, coats of arms and valuable records" by Oliver Seymour Phelps, pub 1899. Or perhaps not. There is another Simeon Phelps in Vermont who married a Submit Holcomb. He was born in Connecticut, moved to Vermont, has a totally different birth date and different children. This other Simeon Phelps is also in the Phelps Family book as #772 on P. 1403. He is the son of Paul Phelps and Zerviah Calkins. Obviously, the author mixed up the two Simeons. The spouse of our Simeon Phelps is unknown.

    This error apparently originated in the 1892 book "Families of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut P.588" by Henry Stiles. This book shows the other Simeon Phelps of Vermont as the son of Elisha. Which is an error by confusing the two different people named Simeon Phelps.

    Per the Phelps Family of America book he died 30 Oct 1786. However his daughter Sylvia has a birth date of 1793. I have not been able to find birthdates on the other children. He also appears in Cayuga County census records in 1810 and 1820. We presume he died between 1820 and 1830.

    Notes:

    Appears in some online trees as Deborah Moore. This name is in error. It apparently comes from an old transcription of Palisado Cemetery (AKA Old Burying Ground) which states Deborah Phelps-No date. Findagrave.com for the same Cemetery shows Deborah Moore Phelps (1725-1839) who died much too late to be our person. It also shows spouse of Austin Phelps, also not our person.
