Biography

Martha's date of death has been noted as both 1706 and 1775.

According to the Hebron Historical Society [1] "Hebron has an extremely rich history. In addition to some of the more well-known people and events in Hebron, there are also interesting tidbits that help weave a big-picture image of the community we all love and respect. Based on period newspaper articles, memories, public documents, and legends passed down from generation to generation, did you know… The very first Hebron Town Clerk was Timothy Phelps. It was his wife, Martha Crow Phelps, who was the heroine behind the Prophet's Rock legend. She led a group of women who, searching for their husbands in 1704, yelled out from the rock, located off Burrows Hill Road. The echoes of their cries were heard by the men, resulting in a reunion of the families, and they decided that Hebron was a good place to settle. The Hebrew name "Hebron" has been translated as "city of refuge." The town was incorporated just four years later, in 1708."
