  • Notes 
    • This Elijah's correct marriage
      This Elijah was not actually married to Miss Jennings and Miss Millard; it is a mistake in the Phelps Family of America book. Elijah's son Elijah was married to "m. 1st Lois Millard. He m. 2nd Widow Ann Hill, or Mrs. Jennings by name. She d. in Canada West, 7 July, 1843, aged 78 years. ...Child, b. Canada West, by 1st wife: Eliza, b. ___, d. aged 7 years." #1330, image page 392 It seems more probable that these ladies were married to Elijah, Jr. since more information is associated with them. It would be too much of a coincidence for both Elijah's to have wives by those names.
