• Notes

  RESEARCH_NOTEs: 1. I originally had "Zuriah" as a male md. to Dorothy ___. After I found the birth record below, it became apparent "Zuruiah" was the "daughter of Charles." Some have Zuriah md. to Dorothy ___; however, I see no proof of this nor would it be consistent with the gender. 2. The book "The Phelps Family of America and their English Ancestors," comp. by Oliver Seymour Phelps of Portland, Oregon and Andrew T. Servin of Lenox, Massachusetts, 1899, pp. 138-139: A.
