  • 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.

      1810 census age 45 +
      1820 census age 45 +

      Unable to find any probate record in Cayuga County for Simeon Phelps, Sr.
