    • Birth: 1700
    • Birth: 20 Sep 1703, Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut, USA
    • Will: 28 Jan 1769, Hartford, Connecticut, USA

    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.

    Other Events:

    • Reference Number: 5887
    • Birth: 27 Sep 1730, Hebron, Tolland, Connecticut, USA

    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 now know based on Connecticut Vital Records he was born 07 Sept 1731, not 27 Sept 1730.

    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.

    From the Phelps Family History book: John Phelps was a farmer and settled in Hebron, CT, where he died(actually died in Marlborough, 5 miles from Hebron). Served in the Revolutionary War, enlisting in the 4th Connecticut regiment, Col John Durkee, Capt. Hinman's Co. Mar.14, 1777, for three years. Promoted to Sergeant Aug. 27, 1778, discharged Mar. 14,1780, and was for a time under General Sullivan at New York. He soon again reenlisted.

    John married Desire Dewey on 16 Jan 1755 in Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, USA. Desire (daughter of Samuel Dewey and Elizabeth Allen) was born on 13 Feb 1733/34 in Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, USA; died on 9 Oct 1827 in Marlborough, Hartford, Connecticut, USA.

The Indians and Tories were committing their deprecation and there were small skirmishes at our out parts and on the night of the seventeenth Burgoyne encamped within a few miles and the next day we were employed in repairing bridges between the two camps and preparations were making for battle and on the nineteenth of Sept about two o’clock we were informed the enemy was approaching on our left where the battle commenced and then there was a general battle which continued until dark when we retired to our camp. I was informed the enemy lay on their arms all night. This battle was very severe. A great many killed and wounded. Neither party obtained the victory, although both claimed it. The next day Burgoyne retired a short distance. Both armies retained their distance position until the seventh day of October when there was another general battle that night and darkness put an end to the action.
