Individual Details

Josiah H. Phelps

(7 Oct 1795 - 30 Jan 1885)

Not mentioned in the probate as receiving an interest payment -- one birth transcription says Josiah so perhaps died young -- but now it seems Josiah 1795 and Josiah 1801 are the same person as month and day of birth are the same.

His date of birth is on his tombstone -- was a doctor
