See Phelps vol. 2, 524." "Joshua [Phelps I] married Lois Ballard 1767; Children: Lois 5/24/1767 married Isaac Blunt, Jr.; Hannah 9/10/1769 married Nathan Abbott; Joshua 4/8/74 married Mary Gilson; Samuel 8/15/1777 buried Sept. 26 1778."
Mary Ashbrook cited Manuscript Genealogy of Phelps Family by Charlotte Helen Abbott, Mem. Hall Library, Andover, Mass., p. 8, as well as the disputes with the data there:
Samuel Phelps 5 (Samuel 4-3, Edward 2, Henry 1) and wife Priscilla Chandler had Joshua 6 born June 25, 1738 who married Lois Ballard in 1767, daughter of Hezekiah Ballard and wife Lydia Chandler, born July 19, 1746. He died Dec. 23, 1798, and she died Dec. 21, 1836. Children of above recorded on p. 10:

* Hannah, born 1769, married Nathan Abbott
* Joshua(7) born 1774, married Mary Gilson of Pepperell, 1795, daughter of John Gilson; she was born in 1778(?) and died Oct. 24, 1856. Her father was shot [and presumed killed?] at the Battle of White Plains, N.Y. [this was in 1776!, so he could not have begat a daughter born in 1778].
* Samuel, born 1779
Included in Miss Abbott's list of children for Joshua(7) and wife Mary (Gilson) Phelps is Mary, born Aug. 21, 1802, married Levi Bean.
"Note: The Phelps genealogy does not have a correct record of this family as the Andover, Mass., Vital Records and the above records prove." --L.W.M. [Mrs. McQueston]
