Abigail Wise

Other Events:

• Reference Number: 5846
• Baptism: 5 Jan 1737/38, Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts, USA

Notes:

This from Linda Martino best describes the evidence for Abigail and her siblings being children of Joseph Wise and Hepzibah Bridges. Further genealogy back to the immigrant Edmund Bridges is confirmed through NEHGS records and Great Migrations Entries.

" Although I do not have proof such as a will I believe there is strong evidence that Joseph Jr Wise of Lebanon is the child of Joseph and Hepzibah Bridges.

Joseph Wise & Hepzibah Bridges are married & named as the parents of: Lucy, Hepzibah, Elizabeth, 2 Josephs, John, and Abigail in Gloucester MA records.

We then see Hepzibah, Lucy, and Elizabeth Wise joining the Goshen Congregational Church in 1741. Following that are marriage records for Hepzibah, Elizabeth, Joseph, John, and Abigail in 1749-1756 in Lebanon and the birth of many of their children. A brother of Hepzibah Bridges Wise (Edmund Bridges) is also in Lebanon during this period.

There is a Samuel Wise in Lebanon but I did not find a baptism record for him in Gloucester.

Again although there is not a will the names and dates are completely consistent between the two locations."

Abigail married Ebenezer Cole, Jr on 19 Feb 1756 in Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, USA. Ebenezer (son of Ebenezer Cole and Esther Owen) was born on 5 Aug 1734 in Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, USA; died on 22 May 1777 in Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

from a gencircles web site:
There was an article in the The Washington Post of March 10, 1808; "The wife of David IRISH of Westfield (Now Fort Ann, Washington Co. NY.)was delivered of five children, two sons and three daughters. They were alive when born, but died in a few hours. They altogether weighed seven pounds and fiveounces." Note of this event was also made in the 1810 Census of Queensbury, Warren Co. NY.

"David Irish, with a wife and three children, was the last family listed in the 1810 census of Queenbury, Washington County, New York. At the bottom of the page, the census-taker wrote a footnote concerning David's wife as follows: 'This woman is 24 years old and has had 10 children, 5 of which were born at one and the same time.' This may be the first instance of quintuplets recorded in this country."

The number of children caught our eye, so we looked at the family. The note is really there, and does appear to be marked for David.

The Irish families living in Queensbury in 1810 are:
Amos Irish
Andrew Irish
Benjamin Irish
David Irish
Jonathan Irish

There is an extremely well presented website for the Irish family at:
http://lthome.com/genealogy/

We copied the following information from there:
Benjamin Irish
Birth , 16 Mar 1749/50 , S. Kingston, Washington, RI
Father , Joseph Irish, b. 20 Apr 1724, S. Kingston, Washington Co., RI
Mother , Dorcas (Irish)
Group Sheet , F0918

1. Andrew Irish, b. BET 1765 AND 1784
2. David Irish, b. 23 Jan 1783
3. Amos Irish, b. 1786, Amenia, Dutchess, NY
4. Jonathan Irish, b. 27 Jul 1789, Warren or Washington Co., NY

This looks like the family.

It should be noted that though the census says that Mrs Irish had 10 kids, only 3 are living with them.

Notes:

NORMAN PHELPS JR

Norman Phelps Jr was born in the vicinity of Bradford, Vermont on 9 Nov 1787. We arrived at this conclusion after analyzing much confusing and conflicting information. The phelpsinc.com website shows Fort Ann, New York in Nov 1788. Norman Phelps himself had listed 4 different States of birth on 4 different census records; New York (1850), Massachusetts (1855), Vermont (1860) and Connecticut (1870)!! This confusion is apparently from his father Norman Phelps, Sr having moved around considerably during the few years before and after Norman's birth. This movement is logged in Norman Sr's military pension file. Approximate dates are given for each move in terms of number of years after the war. It is very approximate. Apparently Norman was aware of the movement, but was himself confused as to which State his father was actually living when Norman Jr was born. The only documentation we have is a log entry by Mrs. Lydia Phelps Baldwin of Bradford, Vermont who logged every birth she attended over a 52 year span, over 500 names (New England Historical & Genealogical Register 1950 Vol 104 P263). She recorded the birth of a son to Norman Phelps on 9 Nov 1787. Unfortunately she did not record the spouses name or the sons name, so we can not be certain that this is the same person. However Norman Sr did not have any sons other than Norman in this time period. Mrs Baldwin was a first cousin to Norman Sr and a review of her log entries shows that she also assisted in delivery of Dewey and Horsford children who were related to Norman Sr's mother, Desire Dewey. Norman Jr's grave stone shows died 19 May 1871 age 83 & 6 mos, which is Nov 1787. Considering that his father's pension record shows that he was in Vermont in that approximate time period and that the midwife keeping the log was his fathers close relative, then this birth date and place becomes quite plausible.

According to the 1790 Federal Census Norman was living in Kingsbury. According to his fathers pension file, they lived in Kingsbury for a total of 3 years then moved to Fort Ann where Norman Jr lived until sometime prior to 1870 when he moved to Queensbury, New York.

The records for the War of 1812 show Norman Phelps Jr as a private in the 23rd Regiment (Cook's) of the New York Militia.

He died 19 May 1871 in (Queensbury) Warren County, New York. He is buried in Seelye Cemetery in Warren County, New York.

He married first in 1809 to Thankful Chase. Thankful Chase is the daughter of Caleb Chase and Hannah Ellison. She was born on 11 Feb 1791 in Fort Ann, Washington, New York, USA. Her death 1860 in Novi, Oakland, Michigan, USA (after summer 1860). They had no children.

He married second in 1810 to her sister Hannah Chase. She was born on 05 Mar 1785 in Fort Ann, Washington, New York, USA. She died 1834.

2. Reuben Gibson Phelps. He was born Bet. 1814-1815 in New York, New York, USA. He died on 15 Jul 1879 in Burton, Genesee, Michigan, USA.

3. Samuel Stiles Phelps. He was born on 16 Dec 1816 in Fort Ann, Washington, New York, USA. He married Catherine Dempsey. They were married 1850. He died on 17 Sep 1893 in Town Queensbury, Warren, New York, USA.

4. Asa Phelps. He was born 1818. Probably died young.

5. Gilbert Phelps. He was born 1820. Probably died young.

6. Sylvia Ann Phelps. She was born on 24 Jul 1825 in Fort Ann, Washington, New York, USA. She married Elbridge Gerry Cilley. They were married on 10 Jan 1843 in Warren, New York, USA. She died on 26 Aug 1869 in Bolton, Warren, New York, USA.

Minerva had a child with Fredrick Plum:
1) Martha Minerva Plum. She was born on 30 Oct 1838. She married Justin Merrill. Their marriage Bef. 1855 (not in mother's household 1855 census). She died on 15 Oct 1911 in Bolton, Warren, New York, USA. (Her death certificate shows Fredrick Plum and Minerva Burdick as parents).

Other Events:

• Reference Number: 3982

Notes:

The name Sarah Irish appears on death certificate of two of her children, Hiram and Edna and also appears on Marriage Record of Edna. Hiram's brother also married an Irish female.

In 1855 Oakland County land records show that Sarah Maxfield transferred land to Liberty Irish (son of David). The document is in the name of Sarah Maxfield, but also has Hiram Maxfields signature and the signature of Polly Malinda Irish (apparently daughter of David) Book 55 page 338-9. This is the entry right after book 55 page 337-8 dated 10 June 1855 whereby Varnis Maxfield quit claimed to Manly Irish (son of David). Book 55 page 339-40 involves Liberty and Damon Irish transferring to Manly Irish. As David died 8 Jan 1855 these transfers may have had something to do with the settling of David's estate. Which could imply that Sarah Maxfield is an heir to David Irish.

The 1820 cenus shows David Irish with one female in the household under the age of 10. The 1820 census shows 1 female in the household between the age of 10 and 15. We do not know of any female children in that age range other than Sarah.

On the 1840 Federal Census the household next to David Irish is Hiram Maxfield and Sarah Irish, which suggests a relation between David and Sarah.

Notes:

Sarah Rebecca Phelps was born 1845 in Fort Ann, New York to Norman Phelps and Minerva Plum Burdick . She married Joseph Oscar Shultz (b 1837 in Pennsylvania) in Fairgrove, Tuscola, Michigan on 15 Dec 1861 in a ceremony performed at the home of William Irish (who is married to her niece, Henrietta Phelps), per the Tuscola County Marriage Ledger. She died 05 Apr 1932 in Bay City, Bay, Michigan.

Sarah Phelps appears on the 1850 census in Fort Ann, New York with her parents, Norman and Minerva.

Sarah R Phelps appears on the 1855 New York State Census for Fort Ann living with her parents, Norman and Minerva.

We have been unable to locate Sarah Phelps on the 1860 census.

Our next record of her is her marriage 15 Dec 1861 in Fairgrove, Tuscola, Michigan.

The census records for 1870 and 1880 show her living in Fairgrove.

She lived in Fairgrove near William and Henrietta Irish and apparently had a close relationship with them. We find Sarah's name on the wedding records of two of Williams daughters, Mary as a witness and Sophronia as a mother! (This was after Sophronia’s mother, Henrietta had died, either an error or an honorary title???)

Tuscola County Deed Record. 28 May 1884 Sarah R, Shultz Purchased 40 acres from Joseph R. Shultz for $700 (NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of section 14 of Town 13 of Range 8E). The sale of his share of the real estate to the wife is suggestive of a divorce settlement. Although later she is listed as a widow.

Sometime between 1884 and 1889 her Husband Joseph had died. She moved to Bay City, Bay, Michigan and is listed in the 1889 City directory as ‘widow of Joseph’. Also on the 4 census records from 1900 to 1930 she is listed as a widow.

On the 1894 Michigan Census and the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 Federal census she is living in Bay City at 515 Polk. The Bay City city directory lists her address as a dairy. Her occupation selling milk.

She died in Bay City on 8 Apr 1932. She is buried in Fairgrove (AKA Brookside) Cemetery. Her stone reads Sarah R Schultz 1846-1932. (most documentary information has her born in 1845 including census records for 1850, 1855, 1920, 1930, her marriage certificate and her newspaper obit)

She is mentioned as a surviving sister in the 1923 obituary of her brother Andrew J Phelps of Fort Edward, NY.
On 14 Mar 1878 Sarah R. Shultz of Tuscola County, Michigan received consideration of $5 to sign off her interest as an heir of Norman Phelps Jr in the real estate of which was transferred by Norman Phelps Sr (to his children in 1839), lot 53, Lake George Tract in Fort Ann, NY. (on file with the Washington County, New York, Clerk) -see Norman Phelps, Jr property notes.
listed in 1889 Bay City directory Schultz Sarah, widow joseph, res 515 Polk

4/16/08 Terry had conversation with Dorothy Seeley (daughter of Harry Seeley). Dorothy remembers her Gramma (Sarah Phelps) Schultz. This gramma used to go for walks by Dorothy's house and then stop in to say hi. Then she would go home. Dorothy just a little girl then, remembers Gramma Schultz (our Sarah) as a tiny short little lady. Uncle Reube used to live with her she told me.

8/16/18- notes from terry on cemetery.:
Lot numbers online for Brookside are not right. In Lot #449 are per Brookside records (which began after 1921 Sexton house fire):
Grave 1 west side, no stone is Eunice (Bills) Schultz
Grave 2 West side is Sarah R. Schultz
Grave 4 East half is Wm. Schultz
Grave 4 West is H. Schultz

No other burials are listed in the Sexton records as being in lot 449. The lots are all 8 people lots with 4 buried on East and 4 buried on West. The Sexton said the grave #s meaning grave 1,2 etc and the east & west info could be mixed up. He has the longitudinal and latitude directions for them also.

The Sexton told me an interesting story. As we know Brookside began around 1898 when the owner of the property where Hinson cemetery was wanted all graves removed from his land. So graves and markers were removed. The Sexton Doug Foster remembers his brother’s telling him how they would go look for Indian arrowheads on the Land where the Hinson cemetery was 50 years ago when they were kids. They seen grave stones when looking for the arrowheads. So obviously not all were removed. Now there are wind turbines going up in that area so digging is going on.
