On this eighteenth day of August one thousand eight (hundred) and thirty two personally appeared before me John Mops a Judge of Washington County Courts, Norman Phelps a resident of the town of Fort Ann in the county of Washington and state of New York aged sixty nine years the ninth day of November last past who being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832:

That I entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated. That in the latter part of August in the year of 1777 resided in the town of Hebron, County of Hartford in the State of Connecticut. And at that time and year I volunteered into the service of the United States as a Musician in the militia of Connecticut entered the service under the command of Capt. John Skinner and Col Latimer commanded this regiment. Jack Jones was the Lieut Col and we marched to Stillwater and joined Gen Poor’s Brigade and were stationed on Bemis Heights where we remained for two (or) three weeks at which time Gen Burgoyne (The English commander) with his army was advancing and on the fourteenth of Sept he encamped on the heights of Saratoga. 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. We lay all night with our arms in our hand ready to receive the assault the (end page 11)

next day but in the cover of the night Burgoyne drew off his whole army to his strong camp on the river heights and on the eighth day of October at night he retreated to Saratoga. There came on a heavy rain. We pursued them and buried their dead. Gen Frazer (An English general) was wounded and died. Our forces had increased so much that Burgoyne was wholly surrounded. He did not retreat further than the falls north of Fish Creek and on the sixteenth of October he surrendered. We then marched to Albany where we encamped until I was discharged. I served at this time and did my duty as a Musician two months and returned home to Hebron aforesaid where I resided until in the month of June in the year of 1778 when I enlisted in the Connecticut State Troops under the command (of) Capt Lathran & Lieut Elijah Buck for six months.

He killed several and drove the rest away. We had several skirmishes with them during the winter and the first of April in the year of 1782 Gen Sholerteury marched us into Sanford Town where we were discharged.

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.

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.

Notes:

I do agree that Amanda and Eve are the same person. The July 1850 Federal census lists Amanda in the Judith Irish household as age 6 months for a birthdate of around Jan 1850. The 1919 death certificate of Eve (Irish) Terry in Oakland County, Michigan lists birthdate of 2 Jan 1850. It also lists her father as Norman Irish. (As Norman died in 1846 this cannot be her correct father.) Her mother’s name is not listed. The Jan 1850 birthdate ties both of these together and makes it quite clear that Eve and Amanda are the same person.

The parentage of Eve/Amanda is more complicated, but we gain useful information from Divorce cases filed in Oakland County.

For example; on 28 Jan 1848 Sarah Jane Irish filed for divorce from Liberty B Irish. She alleges an adulterous relationship her husband is having with Judith Irish (the widow of Liberty’s brother, Norman, who died in June 1846 from ‘the kick of a horse’). She alleges that this relationship began in Mar 1847. She further states that he became intimate or strongly attached to Judith beginning in July 1846. This case was apparently dropped.

A second case was filed by Sarah Jane on 7 Jun 1853. In this case Sarah Jane alleges that Liberty is recognized as the father of an illegitimate child, born to Judith in Jan 1850. (This of course would be Amanda/Eve, although the child was not named.) This case was also apparently dropped.

A third case was filed 12 Aug 1859 by Sarah Jane. No case record appears in the file. This case was dismissed 8 Oct 1859.

A fourth case was filed 13 Mar 1862, this time by Liberty. He claims that Sarah Jane has abandoned and deserted him. Sarah Jane contests this stating that Liberty wants the divorce so he can marry Judith. She also states that both Liberty and Judith were arrested for assault with intent to murder her. Liberty was not tried. But Judith was tried, convicted and sent to prison. She was since released. She states that Liberty lived with Judith up until the conviction and again moved in with Judith when she was released. This case was dismissed 21 Jan 1865.

It would seem from these records that Liberty had a relationship with Judith beginning perhaps in 1846 and extending, perhaps off and on, for at least 16 years. It would also seem that Liberty is indeed the father of Eve/Amanda. (We can be certain that Norman is not the father.)

We also do not find a record of a completed divorce from Sarah Jane or a marriage to Judith. However, Liberty certainly had a lengthy relationship with Judith, which apparently resulted in a child.

The parentage of Maria/Mariah should be listed as Norman and Judith. Although not impossible, there is simply no evidence of a relationship between Judith and Liberty prior to 1846
1/1/2009 per Gayle Zimmerman, she is not convinced that Amanda and her sister Eve are two separate people. Also as Norman died in 1846 Amanda and/or Eve are probably the child(ren) of Liberty Irish, who Judith was having an affair with. See divorce records under media.

Betty Osborne/A.R. common ancestor Jesse Shultz/Hannah Mayberryper Terry-Harriet Seeley died according to my notes on July 11th, 1932. I did see her death certificate at the Bay County Records.
4/16/08-Terry had a conversation with Dorothy Seeley (daughter of Harry Seeley)-The only thing she remembers about her Gramma Seeley (Harriet Schultz Seeley) is that she laid in bed upstairs at uncle Clarence's house ill. She used to moan and yell out. Her funeral home record says she died of paralysis so probably had stroke at some time??
4/16/08-Terry had conversation with Phyllis Watson and Dorothy Seeley--Harriet and George II Seeley are buried in Pine Ridge Cemetery. There is a grave marker according to both Phyllis and Dorothy. It is just a flat brick like marker with their names on it. They both think they could find it if we were to go to the cemetery. So that is a project we want to do. Dorothy said seems like it is by a big tree. I had looked in the past for their graves but assumed there was no marker since I could not find it. (update: got location of grave plot from historical society. It is under a big tree, but there are no gravestones there. Stone apparently was removed.)

Notes:

Find a Grave shows him born 1852. That cannot be correct. His fathers death record has him dying in 1848. I am estimating that he was born about 1848. In fact, his father's death record states 'estimated birth year'. It also states mother of Jane Phelps and father of Perkins.

95 Age: 95
