Notes

This book is a history about the Settlement of Blendon Township. The footnote on the page tries to clarify some family relationships, but mixes the information a little bit. The families were interrelated.

It includes "EDWARD PHELPS, SR., fifth in descent from William, the emigrant from ... England, in 1630, in the ship Mary and John, was born at Colebrook, near Windsor, Conn., Aug 27, 1759. Azubah Moore his wife, was born at Torrington, Conn., Feb 13, 1765, married May 6, 1789. He was a farmer, and had administered several estates and held offices of trust... (Some of the immigrant information of William Phelps has been taken from the book "Phelps Family of America" which further, more recent, research has corrected. It is interesting to note that some Griswold family associations have carried down through the generations and are mentioned in the following pages.)

Lieut. Timothy Phelps was [the son of William Phelps] He married Mary, daughter of Edward Griswold, who was born in Kenilworth, England, came to America in 1639 and settled at Windsor, where Mary was born Oct 13,1 614.

Their son, Cornelius, married Sarah, daughter of John and Sarah (Phelps) Mansfield, and their son, Timothy, who married Margaret, daughter of Daniel and Margaret (Eno) Gillett, was the father of Edward Phelps. (This also is not quite accurate--John Mansfield married Sarah (Pinney) Phelps, the widow of William Phelps, Jr.)

Azubah Moore was the daughter of Simeon and Hannah (dau. of Benjamin and Hannah (Lewis) Barber) Moore. Simeon was the son of Benjamin and Eunice (dau. of Nathaniel and Eunice (Owen) Phelps) Moore. They resided in Simsbury, Conn., and Westfield, Mass. (Nathaniel Phelps was the son of the immigrant George and Frances Phelps.)

Benjamin Moore was the son of Andrew and [Sarah (not Mary)], dau. of Samuel and Sarah (Griswold) Phelps]. Benjamin married Eunice Phelps the granddaughter of George [Phelps, the immigrant] and Phillury [this is wrong, George and his second wife, Frances, were the grandparents of Eunice (Phelps) Moore (dau. of Nathaniel and Eunice (Owens) Phelps). Thus the Moore family traces its ancestry to George ([supposed] brother of William), sons of William Phelps of Tewkesbury, England.

Andrew Moore was born Feb. 15, 1674, and made a freeman of Simsbury, Feb 7, 1703.
