I am a part of a Phelps family that lives about an hour north of Binghamton in New York. I would love to hear of any information you may possibly have of my family history.

Re: Phelps history

cjggranite — 2012-05-01 15:50:46Z

Ephraim Whitehead (great-great-great grandfather), had a son, George Washington Whitehead (great-great grandfather) and two daughters, Harriet (married PB Phelps) and Ellen Cecile. GW moved to Texas in 1831 with Stephen F. Austin's Colony, and later his 2 sons bought extensive ranch land between Del Rio, Texas and Sonora, Texas, which the family still ranches. I am looking for any connection to Harriet Whitehead Phelp's family from New Orleans.

Re: Mary E. Phelps

kelliedracp — 2012-04-25 13:41:19Z

James Harvey & Mary were my ggg grandpaents. I've been able to trace the Lucas line & many various branches back to at least the 1600s. Every one of them (so far) came from England, mostly in the late-1600s to early-to-mid-1700s. Sorry. It would've been pretty cool to be part Native American :).

Re: Phelps Levi Dana-Frank Phelps

Neato! I posted the original msg asking if anyone recognizes the name Chester Lynn Phelps and I got all these neat replies!

But right now I'm on an extended vacation in Europe. I won't be back home till late May. As soon as I am, though, I'll TRY HARD to remember this thread and I'll dig out my old photos and other info and see if I can connect any of what I know to any of what you all have posted!

Thx for all your replies! And if I do make a connection with one or more of you and you decide you'd like a copy of that pic I have, of young Chester Lynn Phelps, age 19 months, I will be happy to scan it and send it to you!

I have a picture of his head stone with the dates, so I am pretty sure the dates to be correct (or close).My notes came originally from a women's college in Georgia back in the early to mid 50s (from my aunt as a school project). It stated he was born "somewhere" in Virginia. He was bound out for his mother's support and ran away when he was 16. His wife Theodoshia Graddy/Grady was from North Carolina. All of his children was born in Georgia.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Hello Byron, just ran across this old post and was wondering if you are still researching the Phelps in Virginia. I am still stuck. Can't find parents or siblings for Augustus born somewhere in Virginia in 1804.

John Ambrose Phelps of Montclair NJ abt 1870-1910?

VirtualOrphan — 2012-03-25 22:02:04Z

Hi, I'm looking for information on John Phelps. My grandmother was his adopted child, but she was also related to him, she was his niece. Her mother was a Phelps. She died of TB and her husband at the time, a Toal, allowed his wife's brother & wife, a childless couple, to adopt that one remaining infant. [The wife's brother was John Ambrose Phelps of Montclair, NJ married to wife Amy Phelps.] I have a birth record I found on Ancestry.com of Amy Toal born October 14, 1998 [or 1999]. Can someone tell me where this record comes from? If I could see her birth certificate I could find out her birth mother and father's names, which would help me a lot. I have not been able to figure out how to find the original record. Thanks in advance. My grandmother is also named Amy Phelps after her adopted mother. She is said to resemble the Phelps family in physical form: Tall, stately bearing, calm demeanor, brown hair, blue eyes, prominent nose. Thanks so much, in advance. I think you. Lynn.

Phelps, Clinton G. (Goodard) 1866- ?

pantarbe — 2012-03-09 17:51:16Z

Parents: Whitcomb Phelps, MD and 1st of 2 wives- Lydia M. Luce.
Clinton was born in PA in June 1866 (per 1900 census) he appears first in the 1870 Federal Census in Kendallville Ward 3, Noble, Indiana. But not again until he is married living in Doniphan County, Kansas - where he is seen in several state census' as well as the 1900 census.

His father Whitcomb 1831-1905, marries his second wife Mary Bramble (different spellings include Bromblee...) by mid 1870's and appears in the 1880 census (Fort Wayne, Allen, Indiana (he is there for many years)) with his new wife and children, but, no Clinton -or his 2 siblings of mother Lydia- (those siblings) are Rose A., 1864, and Walter E., 1862.

I have attempted to find Clinton in the 1880 census, and post 1900 Federal/ state census' but still unable to find him. 1870- 1888 a mystery, 1900- ? a mystery. During the interim period 1880-1900 Clinton marries Mary Etta Anderson and has 7 children, Louis, Clinton A., Lawrence, McKinley, Elsie, Helen and Guy. Many of his children turn up in a orphanage (Old Soldiers Home) in Atchison, Kansas per KA state Census 1905-1915. Wife Mary Etta remarries and has youngest son Guy living in El Paso, Texas in the 1910 Federal Census.

My question: Did Clinton die? is so I can't find him. Does any one have further info that they might relate for me?
most sincerely

mjphelps152 — 2012-03-05 09:54:18Z

Mary, Hannah Baskel Phelps married a Phelps brother in England, then after immigrating to Mass., she married the other brother. Nicholas I believe, but anyway, they had a lot of trouble over Religion (Quaker?) and eventually moved to Perquimans County, North Carolina. Some of her (Phelps) decendants should still be living in the area. Contact the Perquimans Co. Historical Society for the full story on this Phelps family. They are not related to the Caswell Co., NC Phelps family, as proven by ydna testing done by FamilyTreeDNA. Good Luck, Marilyn's Dad Walt

There was a Phelps family living in McNairy Co., Tennessee around the 1810-1850 time frame. They were living near a James Irvin Pond, and both families migrated there from Caswell County, NC around 1800. Good luck, Marilyn's dad, Walt.

mjphelps152 — 2012-02-11 17:40:59Z

I have been doing some research on my Phelps ancestors, and got back to James Phelps d. 1786 in Caswell county N.C. . What has helped a great deal was having ydna testing done. I had it done by familytreedna. There is a project connected to them called "Phelps World Wide Ydna project", or something similar. As I was reviewing some of the Phelps families in the Caswell county NC area, I recall that some of them moved to Kentucky, Mo., and Tenn. The Phelps lines from New England are not closely related (within a thousand years) to the Southern lines, but if you had either mt/dna or ydna (for direct line males with Phelps/Felps as a surname) testing, the people at familytreedna can tell you which line your ancestors are from. Caswell Co. NC is located in north central border of NC, and next to Halifax Co., Virginia. Sincerely, Marilyns dad, Walter Phel... P.S.

We have an antique dresser which I acquired from my Grandmother in 1972. It has the notation "C N Phelps, Meadville, Pennsylvania" on the back and wondered if anyone had information on this cabinetmaker. We believe it was made in the 1840's.
