• Notes

  Many published genealogies list his birth date as 20 Sep 1703, but nowhere can I find the source of that date. The Barbour collection of Connecticut births lists the birth of 8 or Joseph's 10 children. Only John and Edward are not found. His fathers will in 1716 lists him as 16 years old. His death record lists him as 68 in 1769. There is some doubt then as to the actual birth date. The Phelps Family Book has Anna Hosford as the mother of the first 6 children and has her dying in about 1740. It then has her sister Mindwell Hosford as the mother of the last 4 children. The Hosford Book, which I have not seen, supposedly on page 33 has Anna as the mother of all the children and as living until at least 1773. It has Mindwell marrying Daniel Tillotson and moving to New Hampshire where she died in 1807 on page 35. Obviously it would be nice to find a copy of that book. The History of Ancient Windsor by Stiles on P. 568 shows John as marrying 2nd to Mindwell (Hosford?). The last name being in parenthesis with a question mark indicates that the name is uncertain. The Barbour Collection of records shows Mindwell marrying Daniel Tillotson on 16 Sept1742 in Tolland. It does not show a second marriage for John. It shows the birth of the first 7 children, noted as son of John, without listing the mother. The last 3 children do not show. The will of John Phelps in 1769 shows his wife's name as Anne and also shows the names of the remaining children. My conclusion is that Anna Hosford was the mother of all the children.
