Need y-DNA from Male Descendant of Hugh Phelps Wood County WVA
Lemuel Phelps, b. 1822 Wood County, WVA, shows a DNA link to Walter Phelps of Anne Arundel County, MD. The paper trail is somewhat lacking.
We have a good paper trail from Hugh Phelps of Wood County, WVA, brother of Elijah Phelps and John Phelps of WVA.We need a male descendant of Hugh Phelps to connect this branch of the Phelps family to Walter Phelps of MD.
Hugh Phelps has long been identified as the son of John Phelps and Mary Converse of Tolland, CT. We find thru www.findagrave.com they are buried in CT where they were married.
We also have good documentation linking John Phelps, father of Hugh, Elijah, and John of Wood Co WVA, to Fayette Co Pa from Frederick Co Md back to Anne Arundel Co Md. He married Priscilla Evans and was the son of John Phelps and Susannah Meek of Anne Arundel Co and grandson of Walter Phelps of Anne Arundel Co Md.
I have this line with documentation posted on my Biggs and Rose tree on Ancestry.
