▼ Origins of George Phelps

"George Phelps was long believed to be the sixth child of William of Tewkesbury, Eng., b. about 1606; immigrated to New England on the Mary and John, in 1630, with his elder brother William and his younger brother Richard. It has since been concluded thatthe William Phelps of Massachusetts and Connecticut originated in Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England and that he is not the William Phelps of Tewkesbury records. George Phelps is omitted as an immigrant of the Mary and John. although it is conceded that there may have been a relationship between William Phelps and George Phelps, but that it remains unestablished. No evidence exists that Richard Phelps is related to either William or George, although he is present in the earliest records of Dorchester, Massachusetts.

George Phelps is believed to be the George P__?__ aboard the Recovery of London with Gabriel Cornish as its master, sailing from Weymouth in Dorsetshire to New England March 31, 1634. The ship sailed into Massachusetts Bay in late June of July 1634; and it was very likely one of the fourteen said to have arrived that June. "

Proposes that George Phelps is the George P on the Recovery passenger list because he is the only George P who left records in New England who cannot be eliminated and who fits a pattern that could reasonably be attributed to a Recovery passenger -- his first record was in Dorchester in 1635, and he later settled Windsor along with many other Recovery passengers.
