to settle all points, more time could be well spent on this line. It is prob., too, that the brothers built the Phelps house in 1782, and not Joseph, who was then a boy of 16. We fix the date of erection from the tradition in the Olcott family that three neighboring houses were built within two years, viz., the Asabel Olcott house, the Joseph Phelps, and one of the Newberry houses. The date of the Olcott house is known, and thus of the other two. Jerijah Phelps d. 22 Jan., 1992; his widow, 10 Sept., 1591. Child:
