Noted to be a "dryer". Listed as a son of James in an entry "fine" of 5 shillings in 1609 and mentioned in the will of his brother's widow. [Phelps-Marshall Kinship, pg. 8]

Prerogative Court of Canterbury, administrations 1611, 04, page 102.
May 31, 1613, commission issued to Nicholas Phelps, brother of William Phelps, late of Tewkesbury, deceased, to administer the goods and chattels of the said deceased, during the minority of William Phelps, his son, by reason of the death of Dorothy Phelps, relict of the said William Phelps, deceased, leaving goods still unadministered.
From this it appears, that James and Joan Phelps had a son Nicholas, not baptized, or at least not recorded in the baptisms, probably accounted for by loss of lines in register.
