• 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.
