Notes |
- Much of the information on John Phelps Jr comes from the Phelps Family History book (published 1899) and the Dewey Family History book (published 1898). Since their publication new information has emerged, in particular the Barbour Collection of Early Connecticut birth, marriage and death records (origjnal records on file at the Connecticut Public Library, with various indexes available on-line). Unfortunately, this older information permeates the online family trees causing much confusion and contradiction.
We also know he married Desire Dewey and had children with her. We cannot be certain if Deborah Dewey (who is listed in the Phelps book as his spouse) is a different woman from Desire, or was from an earlier marriage (Deborah is listed in the Dewey book as different from Desire, with a different birth date and different parents). But we now know that according to Connecticut Vital Records that he married Desire Dewey on 16 Jan 1755 and that 10 children were born in Hebron, Ct with John and Desire Phelps listed as the parents on each birth record.
