CONFLICT: Birth date 28 Feb 1598/99, WFT #0259 CONFLICT: B abt 1592 of Crewkerne ,Somersetshire,England. BIOGRAPHY: WFT #0259 Story widely told in the Phelps family that "We had royal blood in our veins". An ancestor (Phelps) was rightful heir to the crown of England, but there was another more favorite with the people, he to avoid bloodshed fled to this country with a young man by the name of Caverley then about 18 years of age, his nephew and the king's foot page. Having access to the royal treasury he loaded a ship with silver, came to Boston, changed his name, and purchased land largely, as Boston Neck, a part of Charlestown, and other public lands. After some time, learning that a great reward was offered for his capture, he changed his name again, destroyed all his papers, and went to Connecticut (Hebron), to hide himself from his pursuers. Temperance Phelps, daughter of Solomon (Great-Grandson of William II) says that Abigail Caverley showed her a room where some of the silver was deposited in walls. Solomon Phelps owned a good deal of Boston and was a very rich man. When asked why he did not recover the fortune of silver he replied "that it would hurt very many people a great deal more than it would do him good". When Temperance Phelps was partially engaged to another person and her father (Solomon) finding it out asked her to take a ride with him, and disclosed to her some of the facts of his early history in connection with the Caverleys in consequence of which she accepted the hand of Ezra Strong (the son of Abigail Caverley) and the two families were united in one. The truth of this history has not been verified, but adds spice and curiosity from one generation to another. It is not known if William is the person in question but he was the first to come from England. His kingly name Guelph was changed to Phelps, dropping the g and altering u or v to ph. BIOGRAPHY: on first jury empaneled in New England, 9 Nov 1630.

William married Ann (Mary Ann) DOVER on 14 Nov 1626 in Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England. Ann was born in in Porlock, Devonshire, England; died on 27 Nov 1675 in Windsor, Hartford County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Genevieve Tylee Kiepura writes in "Griswold Ancestry in England" (The American Genealogist 39:176-180) that "Edward GRISWOLD m. Margaret BLENCOW of Marston St. Lawrence, co. Northampton, dau of John BLENCOW and his wife Mary WALLISON." However, in "Note on the Ancestry of the Griswolds of Connecticut" (The American Genealogist 40:43-44), John G. Hunt conclusively shows that the Edward GRISWOLD who married Margaret BLENCOW is not the immigrant to CT, and Genevieve Tylee Kiepura concurs. The Griswold Family Association identifies the husband of Margaret BLENCOW as Edward GRESWOLD (1594-1633) son of Thomas GRESWOLD and Elizabeth SHUCKBURGH - this Edward being father of the American immigrant Michael GRISWOLD of Wethersfield, CT.
