Edward Phelps
Our ancestor Edward Phelps emigrated from England, presumably with his parents, Henry and Elinor Phelps (Elinor died in Salem, Massachusetts), probably during the Great Migration of the 1630s.
Edward, his wife, and their eldest child, Elizabeth, were part of the reactive, nomadic Cavalier Generation. His other children were part of the heroic, civic-minded Glorious Generation.
