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.
