Thank you, Frank Gill! Verification is difficult for the familysearch Lydia Phelps family record!... Larry Overmire*, descended from her 1st husband Sam(p)son Reed, quotes Lydia's dau. Betsey Putnam as telling grandson Axel Hayford Reed that Lydia was born in Hollis, NH, of Scottish parents[ Reed,Read,Bisbee,Bradford Genealogy pub. 1915, Glenco, MN, by Axel H. Reed] Larry's been unable to learn sources of web's Farrell's Genealogy, same record  for Lydia Phelps as the  familysearch submission.... *his website:["The Ancestry of Overmire, Tifft, Richardson, Bradford, Reed,” by Larry Overmire, RootsWeb World Connect Project, 2000-2013]
