Person:Isaiah Phelps (1)

NOTE: ALL THE"EXPERTS' ATTRIBUTE ISAIAH NEWMAN PHELPS TO EBENEZER AND LYMA STORY. I HAVE NO BASIS OTHER THAN THE NAME AND THE FACT THAT HE WOULD PROBABLY BE THE FIRST BOY BORN--NAMED FOR HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME AS A MIDDLE NAME-- TO ME IT MAKES INFINITELY MORE SENSE THIS WAY!

The following documents the Ebenezer parents for "AN Isaiah Phelps"--not necessarily Newman. It is highly possible that there were 2 Isaiahs born about 1811 to the brothers and that the EXACT date of Newman's birth is incorrect: Extracted birth records from LDS: ISAIAH PHELPS Male

Event(s): Birth: 26 FEB 1811 Goshen Twp, Sullivan, New Hampshire Parents: Father: EBENEZER PHELPS Mother: LIMA

Messages: Extraction of birth information from a statewide index for New Hampshire. The actual town records may contain more details. Use the Family History Library Catalog to find the call numbers for town records.

============================================

Isaiah Newman Phelps found in: Early Settlers of New York State, 1760-1942

Early Settlers of New York State, Volume I, October 1934, Early Church Records, West Bloomfield Church, Ontario County, Page 44

This source lists: 1818 Ebenezer and Lyma Phelps--William Story, Melinda, Heil, Isaiah Newman, Sarah--it seems to indicate that all those following the-- are children of Ebenezer and Lyma, but that is not entirely clear.. A desc. indicates that Isaiah is the son of Barnabas and the brother of Ebenezer. Since Ebenezer's brother Isaiah married Clarissa NEWMAN,is it possible that this Isaiah Newman is their son??

1840 census info from Nan: He is also in the 1840 living near both Isaiah and Ebenezer in Dexter Township, although it looks like J N Phelps. Isiah and Ebenezer owned adjacent property in Dexter Twp., and Newman also purchased in that area. Henry I. who we know was the son of Isiah and Clarissa ended up with the land, but I have not found a will.

from Jim Phelps:<[email protected]> Isaiah N. is buried in Dexter, Washtenaw, MI. I believe he is in the cemetery across from the Ebenezer (started and named after our Ebenezer)Church, It has a lot of our Phelps in it.
