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 Eliza Rawlings on 7 Aug 1871 in Elgin, Ontario, Canada. Eliza (daughter of Henry Rawlings and Helen Smith) was born in 1848 in Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Lobo Twp is about 12 miles from Delaware, Ontario. On Lobo Twp voter list in 1878 and 1880. Not on census in 1881. His 2nd wife is on 1881 census as a widow.

On the 1861 Canadian Census for Cramahe, Northumberland, Canada, his children 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. We have not found Willis in the 1861 census. Willis appears on the 1852 Census in Brighton, Northumberland County (without Sophronia or Levi). (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. We have not found Willis himself on the 1861 census.

From family trees online it appears that Albert Borzer Porter was born 1805 in Hartford County, Connecticut. His wife is Abigail Pettet. I did not find any genealogical connection.

On the 1850 census in Ira, Cayuga, New York Head of household is listed as William Phelps, wife is listed as Cephrona and Willis (must be Levi) is listed as 6 months old on 8/10/1850 (Levi's death cert shows born Feb 1850).

There is an 1851 mortgage foreclosure sale on his real estate in Ira, found on genealogybank.com. The Cayuga Chief 11 Nov1851 P.3. Willis executed a mortgage 6 Jul 1850. The foreclosure sale is 27 Nov 1851.

He appears on 1878 and 1880 Voter Lists in Lobo Township. But does not appear on the 1881 Census. We assume that he died prior to 1881.

Inscription on 2nd wife's gravestone, says in 1884 "wife of late W.H. Phelps"

Birth:
I believe Burton, New York in Phelps book was an error. Father lived in Brutus, Burton being 150 miles away does not make sense.

Willis married Sophronia Bradley before 1848 in New York, USA. Sophronia was born in 1822 in New York, USA; died before 1861. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On the 1861 Canadian Census for Cramahe, Northumberland, Canada, her children Levi and Lucinda appeared in the household of Abert (age 54) & Abigail Porter (age 54, b U.S.). Also in the household children, Maurice Porter (age 25) and Porthena Porter (age 10). All were listed as born in the U.S. We have not found Willis in the 1861 census. Willis appears on the 1852 Census in Brighton, Northumberland County (without Sophronia or Levi). (Cramahe is about 11 miles from Brighton). We presume that Sophronia died by1861 as she does not appear on the 1861 census with her children.

From family trees online it appears that Albert Borzer Porter was born 1805 in Hartford County, Connecticut. His wife is Abigail Pettet. I did not find any genealogical connection. The 1851 Canada Census in Cramahe states Albert Porter is 42 and born in Canada.

On the 1850 census in Ira, Cayuga, New York Head of household is listed as William Phelps, wife is listed as Cephrona and Willis (must be Levi) is listed as 6 months old on 8/10/1850 (Levi's death cert shows born Feb 1850).

• 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.

Death:
this date in error

Buried:
Bethel Cemetery

Simeon married Sophia Wetherby on 28 May 1812 in Brutus, Cayuga, New York, USA. Sophia (daughter of John Wetherby and Emma Cutting) was born on 20 Jan 1797 in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA; died about 1875. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Possessions: 6 Feb 1851, Cato, Cayuga, New York, USA; Sophia Phelps to Willis Phelps and others
• Residence: 1860, Red Creek, Wayne, New York, USA
• Residence: 1870, Red Creek, Wayne, New York, USA

Notes:

In 1850, 1860 and 1870 census there is a Jeanette, Gennett, Jannet Wetherby in the household born 1840

In the 1810 Federal census for Cayuga County there is 1 female child in the household of John Wetherby in the age range of Sophia. In the War of 1812 pension record of Simeon Phelps, two people state that they were present at the wedding of Simeon and Sophia which was held in the John Wetherby household in Brutus. One of those two furthur states that John Wetherby is the father of Sophia.

On Simeon Phelps probate filed in 1859, Sophia is administrator. Her mark is witnessed by David Wetherby and L.?. Wetherby. Also the inventory appraisers are Wm? Wood and Lyman Wetherby. Figuring that all of those Wetherby's are related to her. David Wetherby was b. 1820. Lyman Wetherby, his brother was b. 1804. They are children of John Wetherby b. 1778/Eunice Unknown.

It appears that John1778's first child was b. 1799, with some trees showing unknown child b. 1796. I have not found a source for the unknown child. (apparently from the age range of children on the 1810 census)

John1778/Eunice Unknown have a grandchild b. 1837 son of John named John Cutting Wetherby. (The Phelps book says Sophia was a daughter of Unknown Wetherby and Emma Cutting.)

John1778's parents were John Wetherby1745/Mary Newton.

John1745 had a child 1794 with Martha Sawtell (possibly his last child), a second marriage.

I could not find any probate records in Cayuga County for John Wetherby.

Cannot find her in the 1855 New York Census. It appears that Wayne County was not covered, although Cayuga was.

The 1850 census has Jannett Wetherby b. 1840 living in the household. Unable to place her. Also Almira/Elmira Williams b. 1848 in the household, who apparently is the child of David Williams (b. 1812 in Galen, Wayne, New York) and Philena Nickerson who live next door. Granger Phelps appears in the Williams household. Unable to find a Williams connetion to Sophia or Simeon.

Notes:

Married:
at house of John Wetherby, her father.
