    John Phelps was a son of John Phelps, of Westfield, Massachusetts, who was born there in 1716, the third son of Captain John and Thankful (Hitchcock) Phelps, of Westfield.

    He spent his life in Westfield, and died there on May 10, 1802, leaving an estate which was valued at $7748. Forty volumes are enumerated in the inventory of his property,—a number of them being law-books.

    His wife Mercy survived him, with three sons and three daughters,—the youngest son being a minor. In the father’s will his son Royal is bequeathed “ an education out of my estate at Yale College ”; and he was accordingly graduated here in 1801.
