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.

Phelps Family History in America and Kindred Family Histories
Oliver Phelps, Land speculator, Judge, and Congressman
Oliver Phelps (1749-1809) was a great land speculator(1) . A native of Windsor, young Phelps came to Suffield, Connecticut, apprenticed to a local merchant and later became a tavern keeper in Granville, Mass. As Deputy Commissary of the Colonial army during the Revolution, he supplied troops and was commended by General Washington. The connections he thus established aided his efforts in forming a syndicate with Nathanial Gorham for the purpose of buying large tracts of land on speculation.
Phelps and Gorham contracted to buy 6,144,000 acres in what is now eastern New York State, but what was then Massachusetts. The purchase price was $1 million. Phelps journeyed west to supervise land surveys and to arrange acceptable terms with the Senecas for the purchase of the eastern half of their lands.
"A first attempt to convene a council at Geneva failed, and Phelps paid a visit to Indian Allan on the Genesee before proceeding to Buffalo Creek where a large council was convened on July 4th. A goodly number of chiefs gathered there to hear Phelps explain the nature of his claim to their lands. It was not at all clear just what he had bought from Massachusetts since the Indians considered themselves to be the rightful owners of that land. But it was somehow made evident to the chieftains that, since they had been the allies of the defeated British, and since their lands had been surrendered in the peace treaty of 1783, the tribes could only expect to retain their lands on the sufferance of the United States."
"For nearly 2,600,000 acres of rich land lying between Lake Seneca and the Genesee River, Oliver Phelps offered the niggardly sum of £2,lOO in New York currency! The price paid to the Indians for Manhattan
Island was extravagant compared to this!"
"Before he returned to New England that fall, Oliver Phelps engaged a group of surveyors to lay out townships on a rectangular pattern over all the broad estate. A site at the outlet of Canandaigua Lake was chosen for the land office and the chief town, and an order was given for the erection there of a log-house
during the winter."(2)
After meeting the Senecas on July 4-8, 1788, at Buffalo Creek, Phelps and Gorham ended up with 4,940,000 acres of the tract. This land ownership briefly made Oliver one of the largest land owners in the United States. Gorham and Phelps could not make regular payments. Land sales did not keep pace with payments due Massachusetts for the pre-emption rights. In 1790, about two-thirds of the land reverted to the Commonwealth.
By 1789 he had returned to Suffield, bought the Hatheway House where he opened one of the first land offices in America (and another in Canandaigua, N.Y.).
Phelps retained extensive holdings in the infant Ontario County. He maintained an interest in its affairs - and in further land speculations. He was elected First Judge of Ontario county (1789-1793). After additional entanglements in western real estate ventures which resulted in "personal embarrassment" and, for a time, the prospect of debtor's prison, Phelps settled down to permanent residence in Canandaigua in 1802. A popular figure in the country he had opened for settlement, he was honored as a Democrat (i.e., Jeffersonian Republican) with his single term in congress, and returned to Canandaigua afterwards to live out his years.
At the time of the Western Reserve purchase (some 3,300,000 acres), Phelps was also negotiating for land in Georgia, West Virginia and Maine, and considered to be the largest land holder in the country.
Although he was a founder and large stock holder in the Hartford National Bank and Trust Co., about 1800 his financial troubles became acute because of the effect of changing money values on mortgages held on the tracts of land sold and a depressed land market. Forced to sell his Suffield home, Phelps moved to Canandaigua, N.Y., where he built a grist mill and endowed an academy. He was appointed the first judge of Ontario County and between 1803 and 1805 he served in Congress. Although a man of great ability and broad vision, Oliver Phelps was ahead of his time. He tried to help settlers who could not fulfill their contracts, but he was doomed to poverty and died in 1809 in debtor’s prison.
His memory is honored in Canandaigua, where the inscription on his tombstone reads: “Enterprise, Industry, and Temperance cannot always ensure success but the first of these will be felt by Society.”

Philippe du Trieux was born circa 1588 at Roubaix, France (Wallonia). He fled to Amsterdam as a refugee of the ongoing religious wars (and only male remaining of his family); there he married Jaquemyne Noirett (b. circa 1592 at Ryssel (Lille), France, m. 1615, d. circa 1620 at Leiden, Netherlands). He died on 8 September 1653 at New Amsterdam.

Philippe du Trieux was also known as Philip de Truy. He emigrated from Leiden, Netherlands to New Amsterdam in 1624 with his second wife, Susanne du Chesne (m. 1621) and four children (three with his first wife Jaquemyne).

Philippe received patent for lands in ‘Smits Valley’ in 1640. Ref: “Hudson and Mohawk Valleys”, P. 272 - Truax - The patronymic De Trieux or Du Trieu is probably derived from the Village of Trieu (in southern Belgium). It is from De Trieux that the names Du Trieu, De Truy, Truax, Truex, etc. are derived. Individuals bearing the original form of the name abound in the Walloon Church Registers of the Netherlands as early as 1584, wandering from city to city and from country to country, evidently in search of business employment. Anciently the Walloons were the race who inhabited parts of France, the Alps and the Danubian Valley. They eagerly embraced the Reformation, which was eventually crushed out by Charles V and Philip II, and hundreds of thousands of the Walloons sought refuge in neighboring countries, one hundred thousand exiled families settled in Holland. The Netherlands historian, Asher, declares that the whole greatness of Holland sprang from her hospitality to these exiled Walloon families.

Philippe was a dyer from Robey (Robaix) which was located in Northern France (Flanders in Philippe’s day) and well-known for its dye works. It is not known who Philippe’s parents were. An entry in the record of the Walloon Church at Leyden, Holladn says:

April 22, 1601. Jacquemyne, widow of Philippe Du Trieu, received into Church of Leyden, by letter from Norwich, England

It is believed that Jaquemyne and her deceased husband, Philippe Du Trieu, were the parents of Philippe Du Trieux. The deceased husband mentioned in the Leyden Church record seems to have come from Norwich, England. A colony of Flemish weavers had introduced the manufacture of woolens at Worsted, England which is about 13 miles from Norwich. This suggests that it is possible this suspected father of Philippe was a worsted worker. It is further theorized that upon his death, his widow returned to the continent with their son Philippe.

Ref: “The House of Truax” - Descendants of Philippe du Trieux, 1586-1653, edited by Howard S.F. Randolph from a manuscript by T. de Truax in the possession of the New York Genealogical and biographical Society, P. 336: Quote: “The date that Philippe du Trieux and his wife, Jacquemine Noiret became members of the church at Leydon is given as August 15, 1617, instead of October 1617, as given on P.209 in the NY Gen. & Biog. Record, Vol. LVII.

The Leyden Church granted Philippe and his family letters of attestations on March 9, 1624 (as “pour Westinde” which meant he intended to go west) to present to his new church at his destination. Two and a half weeks after Philippe and his family received letters from their church (March 28, 1624), the future colonists were to go to “The New Netherland” met and were given instructions from the Van Rappard document (now in the Huntington Library in California). It is not known if Philippe and his family were among these. No passenger list of the voyage of “The New Netherland” is known to have survived but it is generally accepted that Philippe Du Trieux and his family were on board among the 30 families which were mostly Walloons.

The Captain of “The New Netherland” (Nieu Nederlandt) was Cornelis Jacobz May of Hoorn. They sailed in the beginning of March and went by the Canary Islands, steered toward the west coast where they gained a west wind which took them to the river called Rio De Montaagnes (River Mauretius). The ship sailed up to the Maykens 44 leagues. They built a fort named “Orange” which had 4 bastions on an island they called Castle Island. Wiley believes that all of the Walloons of the company settled on Long Island at Waal-Bogt (Wallon’s Bay) which is now Wallabout. However, there is no definite account of the disposition of these families.

More people came in 1625 bringing tools and livestock. In May 1626 another band of colonists arrived along with Peter Minuit who had been given the power to be Governor and organize a government. He built Fort Amsterdam on the southernmost point of the island.

Philippe was in New Amsterdam during Minuit’s Administration (1624-1629). When arriving in New Amsterdam Philippe and Susanne built a house on Bever Craft (Beaver Street). This was one of the first (if not the first) house to be built on Bever Craft.

In 1638 Philippe was appointed Court Messenger in 1638 by Governor Kieft (who became Governor in March 1638). The salary for the Court Messenger (or Marshall) was “two thirds as large as was received by the Magistrate.”

In 1640 Philippe received a patent for land in Smits Vly (or Valley), although it is known that this parcel of land was in his possession as early as 1638. The land adjoined Secretary Van Tienhoven’s farm and occupied partly by Fulton Market in later years. A map of New Amsterdam as it was in about 1644 shows a large tract of land on the east side of the island marked “land of Philip de Truye”. It is assumed that Philippe was living on this land at Smith’s Valley because of a contract he made with Claes Groen and Pieter Lievesen to graze their goats for a year at the cost of one guilder per year per goat. This contract was entered upon the Register of the Secretary of the Council. Philippe leased or contracted to sell this house to Nicholas Stilwel. In 1649 the records show Nicolas Stilwel promising to furnish Henry Bresar with palisades enough to fence the premises along the River Road and within two years to furnish enough to fence the other sides of th land. In consideration for which Bresar acknowledges that he “has taken off the hands of Nicolaes Stillwell the land and dwelling housein question”. Bresar seems to have remained in possession of the place until 1653 when he built a new house a short distance beyond the ferry on some land which he had acquired there and the former dwelling house of Philip De Truy, after one or two intermediate changes, was bought in August 1654 by Thomas Hall.

According to the Truax Family Group Record, Philippe and his second son, Philippe (born in 1619) were killed by Indians on 8 Sep 1653.

Philippe Du Trieux was killed by Indians as was his son Philippe before September 8, 1653. Some believe that Indians were not the guilty parties. Philippe’s exact date of death is not known. The records show that on September 8, 1653 “Carel Van Brugge, Pltf. vs. Isaac D’Foreest, Deft. as Vendue-Master of the personal estate of Pieter Cornelisen, mill-wright, demands payment of fl. 59.8 for goods purchased at public vendu. Deft. acknowledges having purchased the goods, but says, in the name of Philip D’Truy’s widow, that her son Philip (who was also murdered) had earned fl.100 monthly wages of Pieter Cornelisen deceased, which are still due him. Deft. is ordered to prove at the next court day his demand against the State of the above-named Pieter Cornelisen deceased.” On October 23, 1654, Susanna De Scheve, widow of Phillippe De Truwe, late Court Messenger at New Amsterdam, confers power of attorney upon her son-in-law Isaac De___.

Philippe could have been dead as early as March 16, 1651 when a certified copy of a note of Alexander Boyer was made in favor of Susanna Du Truy. It is doubtful that she would have had to conduct this business if her husband had still been living.

Pieter DeGroot and Claertje Post have 5 children baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church in Staten Island, New York. This does not include their supposed first born, Joseph DeGroat.
In the Acquackanonk Dutch Reformed Church in Acquackanonk, New Jersey, we find a baptism record for Claertje Post, daughter of Gerritt Post and Fransyntje Petersen.
We have no marriage record for Pieter DeGroot and Claertje Post. Possibly they married in Acquackanonk or more likely, elsewhere. Later they ended up on Staten Island. Records of their marriage and their first born are thus not found in either the Acquackanonk or the Staten Island Dutch Reformed Church.
In online trees, Pieter was born about 1729 and died 1805 in New Jersey. In fact we have a findagrave photo showing death of 14 March 1805 at age 75 in Bergen County, New Jersey. However, the will of Peter DeGroot in Bergen, New Jersey is obviously a different person. His wife is Hester (although, he could have remarried), the only child mentioned is Aurie, a grandson Peter Banta and two negro slaves Dine, a female and Dick, a male.
Thus, at this point we no longer have any idea of Peter’s birth date or death date.

Place and date of birth is unknown. We estimate birth year of about 1686 based upon his marriage date.

The first known record of Samuel is his marriage in Westerly, Kings, Rhode Island with Catherine Morehouse, daughter of Thomas Morehouse and Mary Hill of Boston. This is recorded in the Arnold Collection. Their first 5 children are recorded in the Westerly records.

By 1724 the family had moved to Stonington, New London, Ct. From the records of the First Congregational Church in Stonington, we find the next 4 children.

A record of the First Congregation Church in Stonington dated 22 Mar 1730/1731 states “Samuel Allen and Catherine his wife were recommended to ye communion of ye 2d Church of Christ in Lebanon”.

The final 3 children are recorded in Lebanon, New London, Ct.

Children:
Mary Allen 17 Sep 1709, Westerly, Kings, Rhode Island, USA
Catherine Allen 20 Dec 1711, Westerly, Kings, Rhode Island, USA

Samuel has been conflated with the son of Joshua Allen and Mary Crowell. But this is disproved by NEHGR 1971 P232-233-"Yelverton Crowell of Yarmouth, Mass." According to cemetery inscriptions from "History of Ancient Windham" the family plot shows their son Samuel died at Coventy, Ct 14 Oct 1718; whereas our Samuel was having children in Lebanon Ct until 1729 and is recorded as having died in Lebanon in 1742.

Samuel has also been conflated with the Samuel Allen marrying Lydia Hastings, dau of John Seaborne Hastings. But the children do not match up.

At this point, we do not know Samuel’s parentage.

None of his known children or Seth Baldwin have a person of his age in their household.
There is a marriage record dated 10/1/1769 in Lebanon, Connecticut for Benajah Bennett and Zerviah Crane. However, we have no record that Benajah was ever in Connecticut. The Benajah Bennett who joined the Connecticut militia in Lebanon married Sarah Gilbert and later Mary.

Previous genealogies going back over 150 years have John Drake as the son of William Drake of Wiscombe Park, Devonshire. This Drake family is an off shoot of the prominent Sir Francis Drake family of Esher, Surrey. However, more recent evidence shows that this is probably not the case. Thus John Drake of Windsor currently has no known accepted parentage. Refer to TAG 63:193-206 and 65:87-88.

Finding three of the five children of John Drake in Hampton In Arden, Warwickshire with the same names as the Windsor John Drake Family lends support to the Windsor John Drake being from Hampton In Arden. We also find an entry in the Hampton In Arden record for an unnamed child of John Drake and no wife named, a female baptized 20 May 1632.

Listed on a list of original proprietors of Taunton that dates to 1638 or 1639. He is found in 1641 in Windsor, receiving an average size grant of 16 acres.

He may have arrived on one of the ships that left Weymouth, England in Apr 1637, as several of those families ended up in Taunton.

Recorded in the 1640 Town Records at Windsor in the list of "First Settlers of Windsor, five years after their removal from Dorchester." (NEHGR 5:365) [The list includes people who arrived after 1635, such as those who came with Huit in 1639]

On his death, town records of Windsor gave the following account: " August 17, 1659, John Drake, Senior dyed accidentaly, as he was driving a cart loaded with corn, to carry from his house to his son Jacob's the Cattle being two oxen and his mare, in the high way against John Griffin'ssomething scar'd the Cattle, and they set a running, and he labouring to stop them by taking hold on the mare, was thrown down on his face, and cart wheels went over him: brake one of his legs and bruised his body, so that he was taken up dead, being carried into his daughter's house and life come again, but dyed in a short time and was buried on the 18th day of August 1659." 53

There are pedigrees floating around linking him to the Drakes in Ashe, Devon (the family of the navigator Francis Drake). However, that family was of considerable prominence and wealth, which is not reflected in the social standing of this John. In addition, the wills of the family don't mention him, with the exception of that of Francis in 1634 (the source of the speculation in the first place). He is also not likely the John Drake who came with Winthrop's Fleet to Boston in 1630. That John is listed as one to be made a freeman in Oct 1630, but did not actually take the oath. Most of the other men of whom that was the case died or returned to England. Furthermore, there is no other record of John Drake until 1638. It would have been virtually impossible for a man with a family to avoid any mention for 8 years. (See articles in The American Genealogist for a more in depth explanation.)

Prior to emigrating to the New World on the ship "Mary and John" Thomas Ford lived in Dorchester, Dorset, England. The Holy Trinity Church of Dorchester contains the following Baptism Records for children of Thomas Ford:

Thomas, baptized 21 Sep 1623; buried 6 Oct 1623
Hepzibah, baptized 15 May 1625
Hannah, baptized 1 Feb 1628/29; buried 28 Mar 1629

At Bridport, 15 ½ miles west of Dorchester we find earlier baptism records for children of Thomas Ford:

Joan, 8 june 1617
Abigail, 8 Oct 1619

We also find that Elizabeth Charde Cook, the widow of Aaron Cook, married Thomas Ford 19 Jun 1616 in Bridport. As Thomas Ford, Elizabeth Charde and the three living children, plus Aaron Cooke, son of the deceased Aaron Cooke, all arrived in the New World in 1630 we can safely conclude that all of these records pertain to the same family.

We can also conclude that between 1619 and 1623 Thomas and Elizabeth moved from Bridport to Dorchester.

It is possible that Thomas Ford was a widower with a child when he married Elizabeth Charde. In Powerstock, which is 6 miles northeast of Bridport, we find two men named Thomas Ford. One married 29 Jan 1607-08 to Julian Dun and the other married 13 Dec 1610 to Joane Way. We find three baptism records for Florence (1608), Thomas (1610) and Julian (1615) which likely belong to the Thomas Ford married first. And we find two baptisms in 1612 of which one would likely belong to the first Thomas (married 1607/08) and the other likely to the second Thomas (married 1610). Mary, baptized 18 Aug 1612 and Sarah, baptized 6 Jan 1612/13. After 1613 only one Thomas was having children baptized in Powerstock. Joane Ford was buried in Powerstock on 10 May 1615.
It is possible that Joan Ford, first child of Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde was named Joan in 1617 in honor of the deceased first wife, which was not uncommon to do in those days. It is also possible that Henry Way, of Bridport, who also emigrated on the "Mary and John" at the same time as Thomas Ford, was related to Joane Way. Based on this reasoning, some have concluded that Thomas Ford probably first married Joane Way. I think "probably" may be too strong a word. I will go with Thomas Ford "may" have first married Joane Way and they may have had a daughter named Sarah or Mary.

In regards to which child, Mary or Sarah may have been born to Thomas and Joane, some have, perhaps erroneously concluded that it was Mary. Aaron Cook has appeared in the record as Thomas Fords "son-in-law". Aaron Cook is married to Mary Cook. Thus some have concluded that this wording is proof that Thomas Ford had a daughter Mary and is additional proof of the Joane Way marriage. However, this is faulty reasoning. In the terminology of the day "son-in-law" could also mean what we today call "step-son". And we know that Aaron was the step-son of Thomas, due to Thomas marrying his mother. And that would have nothing to do with whomever Aaron married. The Great Migrations series gives a maiden name for Aaron's wife, and it is not Ford. Therefore, if Thomas was the person who married Joane Way, we still do not have any idea if their child was Mary or Sarah. Neither child emigrated with Thomas. They both would have been 17 or 18 at the time and perhaps already married, if still alive.

It is unknown who the parents of Thomas Ford were. Burt Spears who has intensively researched the "Mary and John" passengers, has come up with 11 wills of people surnamed Ford in the area and timeframe we are looking at. It is impossible to put these wills together in a genealogical meaningful way. However, one will offers some possible clues. It is the will of Thomas Ford of Dorchester , proved 8 May 1611. In the will the executor is Thomas Forde, "son of my brother John Forde". If this is the same Thomas it would make his father John Forde. The clue here being that perhaps as executor he gained control of property in Dorchester, which would explain his move from Bridport to Dorchester some years later. Consider that we had two Thomas Fords in Powerstock that we know of and that the existence of eleven Ford wills could imply that the common name of Thomas appears even more than twice. I would say that this is a real stretch and that we can only conclude that we do not know anything about the ancestry of Thomas Ford.

Many on-line genealogies freely use the first wife as Joane, the first child as Mary and the father as John Ford as facts. The first wife and first child have not been proven and the father is pure speculation.

Thomas Ford, Elizabeth (Charde)Ford, Joanna Ford, Abigail Ford, Hepzibah Ford and Aaron Cooke arrived in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1630. In 1637 Thomas Ford moved to Windsor and in1672 to Northhampton where he died 28 Nov 1676.

After Elizabeth Charde died in Windsor 18 Apr 1643 he remarried at an unknown date to the widow of Thomas Scott. There was a child named Ann, but it is uncertain if Thomas Ford or Thomas Scott was the father.

Some have said that Thomas Ford has more descendants than any other male New England immigrant. I do now know if that is true or not, but he certainly has lots of descendants. He had three confirmed daughters who lived to procreation age. Joanne married Roger Clapp and they had 45 grandchildren. Abigail married John Strong, they had 16 children and 143 grandchildren. Hepzibah married Richard Lyman and had 8 children and 43 grandchildren. That is a total of 231 great grandchildren for Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde from only 3 daughters. Plus Elizabeth Charde has additional descendants through her son Aaron Cook. As each generation multiplies itself, with the kind of start their descendants had, it would be virtually impossible for a later generation to catch up to them in numbers. Some notable descendants of Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde include Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Princess Diana, Spencer Tracy, the Wright brothers, Samuel Colt, Rutherford B Hayes, Mike Huckabee, D.H. Lawrence, Sarah Palin, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Gary Boyd Roberts' books mentions these and many other prominent descendants.
