Richard Mann, immigrant ancestor, born in England, settled in Scituate, Massachusetts, before 1644, when he was the owner of land there. He took the oath of fidelity January 15, 1644. He has often been confounded with Richard More, who came in the "May- flower" with the family of Elder Brewster, and many of the descendants of Richard Mann, relying on the statement of the historian of Scituate, who was misled by the similarity of names when written, have claimed to have Mayflower ancestry. Richard Mann was a farmer, and was one of the twenty-six part- ners in the celebrated Conihasset grant in 1646. He was drowned February 16, 1655, while crossing the ice on the pond near his house. John Hoar, who subsequently went to Con- cord, Massachusetts, was his near neighbor, and was on the jury that held the inquest after the death. The verdict shows that with the vain attempts of those present to help him, he struggled for an hour, and finally succumbed to the cold and was drowned. His widow Rebecca married (second) March, 1656-7, John Cowan, and lived in the Mann house until 1760. Cowan was killed at Rehoboth in the Indian fight in 1676. Rebecca had five children by her second marriage. Children of Richard Mann: 1. Nathaniel, born September 23, 1646; died July 20, 1688. 2. Thomas, born August 15, 1650; mentioned below. 3.

Later he was of Brain- tree, where he had a farm of eighty acres of Gideon Thayer in the south precinct of that town, afterwards Randolph.

The Phelps family date from PHELPS Lombardy, northern Italy, where they were called Welf. In the eleventh century they migrated to Germany and changed the name to Guelph. In the six- teenth century they crossed to Scotland and the name became Phelps. The Royal House of Hanover to which Queen Victoria belonged was of the Welf lineage, and her family has been distinctly traced back to the city of Padu. The English seat of the family was in Tewkes- bury, Gloucestershire, and beneath the old Abbey church there remain the lettered tomb- stones of the ancestors. The name has been variously spelled. Philps, Phelipps, Phelpes, Philipp, Philippes, Philipps, Phellips, Phil- lippes, Phillipp and Phellips, Phylippes, Phelyp, Phelpse and Felpes. The word Phelps has its root Pilos, Greek for friend. The escutcheon of the American branch was "per pale. or and argent a wolf salient azure with anorle of eight crosses-crosslet and fitchie and gule, crest a wolf's head erased, azure collard or, the collard charged with a martlet sable." Interpreted this is supposed to mean: The parting per pale indicates that a fortification had been placed by ancestor. in face of an enemy. The wolf signifies courage and endurance, the crosses-croslets fitchee being emblems of the second crusade, shows that it was in that cam- paign the arms were earned. The martlet on the crest is the martin or swallows of Palestine, and infers that the ancestor has been on a pil- grimage to the Holy Land in addition to hav- ing been in the second crusade.

(I) James Phelps was born about 1520. The name of his wife was Joan. According to the prerogative court of Canterbury, adminis- tration was granted on his estate May 10, 1588.

His children, baptized in the Tewkesbury Abbey Church: William, Thomas, George, Alice, Edward, Keneline, Richard and Robert. (II) William, eldest son of James and Joan Phelps, was born August 4, 1550. His wife was Dorothy (surname unknown). Adminis- tration was granted on his estate September 28, 1611. His wife died in 1613. Children : Mary, Mary, Thomas (who was the progeni- tor of the Irish Phelps), Dorothy, William (mentioned below), Elizabeth and George.

(III) William (2), second son of William (1) and Dorothy Phelps, was born August 19, 1599, and emigrated to the new world, sailing from Plymouth, England, March 30, 1630, in the ship "Mary and John," Captain Squeb, with one hundred and forty passengers, landing at Hull, Massachusetts, May 30, 1630. With him was his wife and six children. The origi- nal intention of the party was to land on the bank of the Charles river, but a misunder- standing arose between the captain and his passengers and they were unceremoniously put ashore at Hull, where they had to shift for themselves. The cruel captain, however, had to settle in damages for the uncivil act. Will- iam was made a freeman October 19, 1630, served on the first jury impanelled in New England, September 27, was made constable, was one of the committee to establish the boundary line between Boston and Roxbury, was on a committee to see about the enlarge- ment of Boston and in 1635 was member of the general court. That year he went with Rev. Mr. Warham and his parishioners to settle Windsor, Connecticut, which was first called Dorchester. He was one of seven appointed by the Massachusetts company, for it was then supposed it belonged to the Massa- chusetts government, to govern the colony. It was later learned that the colony was out of the Massachusetts jurisdiction, and the several colonies in Connecticut met at Hartford and adopted a constitution. In the work of draft- ing this document, William had a hand. The principles enunciated in that constitution form the body of the organic law of Connecticut today. These simple pioneers in the wilder- ness builded better than they knew. He held the office of magistrate fourteen years, and was one of the committee to treat with the Phenicke Indians. His residence in Windsor was on the road running northerly and later continued to Poquonoc and a short distance north of the mill in the mill-river valley. He was drowned out in the great flood of 1639, after which he moved to the highlands. Marks

of the cellar of the old house may still be seen. The first wife of Mr. Phelps died in 1635, before he left Dorchester, Massachusetts. He married for his second wife, Mary Dover, in 1638, who was a passenger on the same ship with him. He died July 14, 1672, his wife surviving him three years. He was an upright man, walked humbly with his God, and whose public and private life was without reproach. He helped to found two commonwealths, Mass- achusetts and Connecticut. Well may any race be proud to bank upon such a forbear as this noble man. Children by first marriage : Richard, William, Sarah, Samuel, Nathaniel and Joseph. By Mary Dover, he had Timothy and Mary.

(IV) Deacon Nathaniel, fourth son of Will- iam (2) Phelps, was born in Tewkesbury, Eng- land, about 1627, died honored and respected at Northampton, Massachusetts, in his seventy- fifth year. He came to America with his father and moved to Windsor with the Hooker treke Connecticutwards. He resided on the Orton place opposite his father's. In 1656 he removed to Northampton, of which he was a first settler. The homestead he occupied for forty-three years was later Margaret Dwight's private school and afterward the Dudley Col- lege Institute, and is now Shady Lawn. Feb- ruary 8, 1679, he took the oath of allegiance and fidelity before Major Pynchon; in 1685 was made a freeman by the general court of Boston. He married Elizabeth Copley in Windsor in 1635. She was of the same line- age of John Copley, the celebrated artist. She died at Northampton, December 6, 1712. Chil- dren : Mary, Nathaniel, Abigail, William, Thomas and Mercy.

(V) William (3), second son of Deacon Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Copley) Phelps, was born at Northampton, June 22, 1650, died there in his eighty-eighth year. He lived on the old homestead, and was made a freeman May 30, 1690. He married Abigail, daughter of John Stebbins, of Northampton, May 30, 1678, who died in her eighty-eighth year, hav- ing survived her husband three years. Chil- dren : Abigail, Elizabeth, William, Mary, Nathaniel, Deborah, Ebenezer, Joseph Austin and Mary.

(VI) Captain William (4), eldest son of William (3) and Abigail (Stebbins) Phelps, was born in Northampton, April, 1684, and died there. He was on the committee of safety in the revolutionary war. He married Thank- ful Edwards in 1706. Children: Thankful, Eliakim, Thankful, Benjamin, Josiah, Ex-

perience, Eunice, Lois, Joseph, William and Elnathan.

(VII) Eliakim, eldest son of Captain Will- iam (4) and Thankful (Edwards) Phelps, was born in Northampton, January 17, 1709, died at Cold Spring, Belchertown, Massachusetts, of apoplexy, August 19, 1777, a few moments after family devotion. He married Lydia Rust, of Northampton, who died in 1753. He married (second) Elizabeth Davis, of Spring- field, Massachusetts, in 1714, who died August 19, 1771, in her fifty-seventh year. Children by the first marriage: Eliakim (died in infancy), Eliakim, Simeon and three others who died in infancy. Children by Elizabeth (Davis) Phelps: William, Eliakim, Phebe, Sarah, Lucy, Betsey and John.

(VIII) Deacon Eliakim (2), second son of Eliakim (I) and Elizabeth (Davis) Phelps, was born in Belchertown, January 5, 1775, died of heart disease, March 13, 1824. He was prominent and active in community affairs; selectman eight years; member of the legislature twelve years; a member of the convention to revise the constitution in 1820 and a justice of the peace forty years. He married Elizabeth Chapin, of Springfield, August 28, 1777. He married (second) in 1778, Margaret Coombs, of Warren, Massa- chusetts, who died February 7, 1846, in her ninety-fifth year. Children by second mar- riage : Abner, Daniel, Eliakim, Calvin, Azruth, Eliakim, William, Zerviah and Diana.

(IX) William (5), fifth son of Deacon Eli- akim (2) and Margaret (Coombs) Phelps, was born in Belchertown, June 19, 1792, died there August 20, 1868. He was educated in the schools of his native town, and was a farmer on an extensive scale. Previous to the advent of the railroads, he was a stage proprietor of a line between Boston and Albany. Also he was engaged in the construction of highways. He held all the various town offices and was a justice of the peace. During the war of 1812 he volunteered as a private but was not mustered into service. In politics he was an old line Whig until it became time to forsake Whiggery for Republicanism, which he promptly did. He was a deacon in the Con- gregational church, a just, honest and thoroughly upright man and Christian. He married Maria, daughter of Rev. Justin and Lydia (Merritt) Forward, who was born in Belchertown, July 5, 1800, died there October 6, 1840. He married (second) Mary L., daughter of Asahel and Diantha ( Dimmick) Hunt, of Bridgewater, New York, who died in

Belchertown, October 17, 1863. He married (third) Louisa, widow of H. F. Filer, of Belchertown, a daughter of Abner and Keziah (Fairfield) Town. Children of first marriage : Charles W., Martha M. and Frederick B. Mary L. (Hunt) Phelps was the mother of Edward H., mentioned below.

(X) Edward Hunt, only son of William (5) and Mary L. (Hunt) Phelps, was born in Belchertown, June 10, 1842, and received his primary education in the schools of his native town, pursuing the higher branches at Monson Academy and the Springfield high school. An omnivorous reader of books and newspapers and of a retentive memory, he saturated his mind with vast stores of infor- mation upon a wide scope of topics which was of great value to him in his career as a jour- nalist. Possessing musical tastes and talents of a high order of merit which he improved by special study, he devoted himself to musical instruction first at Belchertown and then at Springfield. He was long a prominent organ- ist, in the principal churches in Springfield for a period of thirty years. He was a musical composer of rare merit, which had he devoted himself exclusively to would have alone won him fame. His "Oh, Morning Land" and "Breathe Soft and Low," have been sung in many lands and the words translated into many tongues. Also he was a musical critic of much acumen and his judgment on the efforts of a virtuoso met with the approval of Dudley Buck and Theodore Thomas, to whom he was an intimate friend. His natural bent, however, was for journalism, for which he had many and varied qualifications. His first work in that capacity was as an amateur and a volun- teer in assisting the local editor of the Repub- lican in reporting. He was one day given a real assignment as reporter for a cattle show, and so well and acceptably was the field cov- ered by the embryo reporter that it brought forth encomiums from the discriminating Samuel Bowles. Soon after this incident, the local editor was going away on a leave of absence for several months and he offered young Phelps the opportunity to substitute. Brought before Mr. Bowles for an introduc- tion the great editor looked him over care- fully and with his characteristic brusqueness said : "Young man, I have heard of you, and will try you. You cannot do worse than fail." This was the launching of young Phelps into the sea of journalism. During the next ten years he remained with the Republican in various capacities. It was during the stirring

times of the great civil war and as night editor Mr. Phelps' duties were very trying, often drawn out until the small hours of the morn- ing, by the issues of extra editions. At one period when Mr. Bowles and Mr. Pomeroy were both ill, he not only performed his own work but assumed entire charge of the paper, doing the work of three men, writing all the leaders, and in those days long editorials were the rule. His sustaining powers were great. It was, however, in the local department of the Republican that his name was principally linked. He was the first editor in the country probably to introduce local correspondence from the country towns and villages and he brought it to a high state of efficiency, an idea since extensively borrowed by other journals. Besides Mr. Bowles that paper contained such writers as J. E. Hood, Clark W. Bryan and Dr. J. G. Holland, and of these men he was a compeer. In 1872 the time for parting with with the Republican had come, being offered a better position on the Springfield Union and to that paper he devoted the best part of six years of his strenuous life in faithful and painstaking work. In 1878 he purchased of H. M. Burt the New England Homestead and with his prestige, influence and great editorial ability, the circulation at once took an upward bound. From the same office was issued a city edition and the families soon had a inonthly called the Farm and Home. He later bought out the good will and circulation list of the American Agriculturist of New York and added it to his other journalistic enterprises. The combined circulation of these four period- icals was 389,000. In 1880 he organized the Phelps Publishing Company and ten years later he was obliged by failing health to relin- quish his connection therewith, of which he was the founder and long the great head and manager. Following his business career he travelled extensively in this country and con- tinental Europe. He married Harriet Elvira, daughter of James I. and Elvira (Clapp) Goulding. He was postmaster, selectman and school committeeman of Athol, Massachusetts. His father was Colonel Goulding from Holden, Massachusetts, a large woolen manufacturer. Mrs. Goulding's father was Deacon Samuel Clapp. Children of Edward H. and Elvira (Goulding) Phelps: I. Mabel Goulding, born June 6, 1866, married Frank E. Clark, a hard- ware merchant of Springfield, and their chil- dren were : Edward, born September 23, 1892; Harold, January 8, 1894; Richard, August 4, 1896; Marion, May 1, 1904 ; and Mildred, De-
