      1. 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. 107-108:
      "Timothy Phelps, b. Windsor, CT., 1 Nov, bp. 8 Nov 1663, m. Martha Crow, 4 Nov 1686, dau. of Christopher and Mary Crow. She died in Hebron, CT. Mr. Phelps resided in Windsor, CT., up to 1690, when with his younger brother Nathaniel, then unmarried, he removed to Hebron, CT., though that town was not incorporated till 1708. He was one of the first selectmen on its organization. His brother Joseph removed there later. Mr. Phelps died in Hebron, CT. Children born in Hebron, CT:

      II. Timothy, b. 29 Jan 1692-3, m. Hannah Calkins.
      III. Noah, b. 23 Jan 1694, m. Ann Dyer.
      IV. Cornelius, b. 5 Mar 1698, m. Margaret Dewey.

      2. Website 4 Sep 2007 www.douglaslibrary.org/barbour. The Douglas Library in Hebron, Connecticut has "Town of Hebron Vital Records: Barbour Collection 1708-1854," p. 96, does not shows a marriage for Hannah to Benjamin Smith, nor does it give a birth record. There is however one birth record that indicates: "Hannah Phelps, d. Timothy, b. Dec 25, 1715, v. 1, p. 62." This could be a daughter of Timothy, son of Timothy and Martha, because her marriage to Benjamin Smith is reported as 29 Jan 1725 which would make a birth of 1715 if in the marriage info is in fact correct.

      3. Henry R. Stiles, "The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut," 1892, v. 2, p. 567: "Timothy Phelps (son of Lt. Timothy, g.son of William), resided a few years in Windsor; removed to Hebron abt. 1690 with his younger bro. Nath'l, then unmarried; was one of the first selectmen chosen at the org. of that town in 1708, and a prominent man in Hebron, where he died 28 Sep 1768 [Kerry's note: If this death date is correct, he would have been 105 years old, which seems unlikely]. He m. 4 Nov 1686, Martha Crow, who died at Hebron. Children (b. at Hebron):
