Notes


They were welcomed by several families in Salem, who sypmathised with the new faither, Lawrence Southwick's and Nicholas Phelps' being the most prominent among them. Meetings were held at the same time as the church services, at which the strangers preached of repentance and forgiveness of sins through Christ, and of the joy of the spiritual life. On Sunday, June 27th, a meeting was held at the house of Nicholas Phelps, in "the woods" as that western portion of the territory of Salem was then called. This house stood on the northerly side of Lowell Street, just westerly of the Phelps Mills railroad stations . . . The Phelps house was built upon the Norris grant by Eleanor, widow of Thomas Trusler about 1654. She died the next spring, having devised this estate to her sons Henry and Nicholas Phelps (children by her former husband). The half interest of Nicholas was taken for the payment of fines for being a Quaker and not attending church, and Henry bought it in. In 1664, he conveyed the estate ot Joseph Pople.
