Martha Mary Crow
(May 1670 - 1706)
Martha Crow Phelps
The very first Hebron Town Clerk was Timothy Phelps. It was his wife, Martha Crow Phelps, who was the heroine behind the Prophet's Rock legend. She led a group of women who, searching for their husbands in 1704, yelled out from the rock, located off Burrows Hill Road. The echoes of their cries were heard by the men, resulting in a reunion of the families, and they decided that Hebron was a good place to settle. The Hebrew name "Hebron" has been translated as "city of refuge." The town was incorporated just four years later, in 1708.
Martha Mary Crow and Timothy Phelps had 5 children.
