Narrative

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 27, Ed. 1, Tree #2233, Date of Import: Jan 2, 2000]

Charles Phelps, son of Elijah Beardsley Phelps and Jane Wright, was born in Fishkill, N.Y. Jan 25, 1836. However, Oliver Seymore Phelps said that these children were born in New Milford, CT but, old family records show they were born in NY. After his father's death in 1855, Charles' brother, William Rathburn Phelps sent for his mother and five of his brothers and sisters, including Charles, and they came to Illinois in the spring of 1857. At this time Charles was 21 years old.

On Feb 3, 1859 Charles H. Phelps married Nancy Scott, only daughter of William and Elizabeth Scott. Nancy Scott was born Feb 16, 1840 in Carroll County, Ohio and came withher parents to Illinois at 2 years of age.

Charles Phelps was a farmer, veterinarian, owner of a thrashing machine and was assisted in his work by his sons.

A Brother's Bouquet
by Oliver Seymore Phelps 1870

The Phelpses were of those sterling New Englanders
self-made and solid men, wuequaled and unexcelled
for purity and piety, for indistry and energy, for
integrity and honesty, for business and activity,
for charity and benevolence, for temperance and
tryth; not supposing that gain (or gold) was
godliness, as some do now, in the age of gold and not Golden Age.
