Notes for John Phelps
******NOTE THIS LINK USED TO CONNECT WITH THOMAS PHELPS (b. Abt 1704) married to ELIZABETH PATTERSON but it was severed based upon the following information furnished by Marilyn Phelps - Indianapolis, Indiana:
"I have worked on that PHELPS lineage for over 30 years, by myself and with other very thorough researchers and to date have never been able to establish a father-son relationship with John Phelps & Margaret Talbot and Thomas Phelps & Elizabeth Patteson. We have copied every single deed available. I think we have every shred of paper on each of them and their issue. No connection can be made. Their is some thought they could be brothers at best. The likely father of Thomas Phelps was John Phelps & Mary Phelps whose early grants & deeds are copied. In this same timeframe, John Phelps of Goochland was married to Margaret Talbot.
The lineage you show for Lucy Phelps was done by Katherine Phelps Caperton at the turn of the century. I'm afraid her desire to be part of the DAR and the link back to England prompted her to make the connection. I have a copy of William & Ann Gorsuch will and settlement and no mention is made of Thomas or John.
No one would love to find the answers more than I, but I want them to be correct and I'm afraid this one is not or at least not proven."
