Notes.

 

Elizabeth (Copley) Griswold was a young widow with two children when she came to Windsor, CT, probably in the late 1630's.  She and her first husband Thomas Copley had two children born in England before he died in 1634.  Her parents and sister Sarah had emigrated to America to Dorchester, MA and then to Windsor, CT in 1636.  She presumably came shortly after that.  Her father Edward is the ancestor who settled in Windsor and is an ancestor of both Eunice Olcott and Mercy Ann Searle.  Elizabeth's name is first mentioned in America on 17 Sep 1650 when she married Nathaniel Phelps (he was 26 years old) in Windsor.  (His brother Samuel married Elizabeth's sister Sarah about two months later in 1650.)  Elizabeth is thought to have been born between 1610 and 1614.

 

Nathaniel Phelps (b. 1624) died in Northampton in 1702.  The information on William and Nathaniel is confirmed in The Great Migration Begins, at p. 1444.   Mary (Nathaniel's mother and William's first wife) and William were married about 1618 in Crewkerne, Somersetshire, Eng. She was buried in Crewkerne 13 Aug 1626. William remarried and he and his second wife Anne Dover are confirmed in The Great Migration Begins as being on the Mary & John 1630. They came to Windsor, CT in 1635.

 

I have several slightly different birth dates for Lydia Phelps, either 7 Jan or 17 Jan, and either 1682/83 or 1683/84.  Lydia died at Northampton 19 Nov 1765; Mark Warner, Jr. died there 3 Aug 1766.

The Hatfield Attack

 

Robert and Editha also had a daughter Sarah (Thomas’ sister) who married Samuel Kellogg.  Sarah and her infant son Joseph were killed by Indians Sept. 19, 1677 in the attack on Hatfield.  Her son Samuel was taken prisoner by the Indians and carried to Canada; he eventually returned to Colchester, CT., bought land from his brother Nathaniel and married Hannah Dickinson.  

 

While men were out working in the fields, the Indians attacked, burning houses, killing 12 people and capturing 21.  It is likely that Samuel was returned from Canada by Benjamin Waite and Stephen Jennings, two Hatfield men whose wives and children were taken captive.  

 

Waite, an accomlished Indian scout, and Jennings got approved as agents to bargain for the captives, built a canoe and went up Lake George and Lake Champlain in the winter to Quebec City, Canada.  They may have been the first English colonists on Lake Champlain.  They were able to secure the release of 17 captives and returned to New England in May 1678.  A quarter century later, Waite was killed in the Deerfield Massacre that was part of Queen Anne’s War.
