Biography

Mary (Newberry) Phelps married, first, John Moseley (Maudsley) on 14 Dec 1664 at Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut.^[1]

After his death, she married, Isaac Phelps, the widow of Ann Gaylord. Both The Great Migration 1634-1635, M-P^[2] and U.S., New England Marriages Prior to 1700 ^[3] clearly state that the widow of John Muadsley married Isaac Phelps in 1690.

Mary (Newbury) Phelps died 4 May 1725 and was purposefully recorded under the records of all the births and deaths of the children of John Maudsley. It is obvious she was their mother. ^[4] New England Marriages Prior to 1700. Page 575 ^[5] is making Mary Newberry and her daughter, Mary Mosely, out to be the same person, which is incorrect.

Notes

Mary Mosely, who married Eleazor Weller, is the daughter of John Mosely and Mary (Newberry) Phelps, the widow of John Maudsley, who then married the widower Isaac Phelps.

Further evidence that proves that Mary (Newberry) Phelps did not marry Eleazer Weller was the fact that he was born 8 Oct 1675. Mary (Newberry) Phelps was born on 10 Mar 1647. Men did not marry women who were 28 years their senior. A woman who was born in 1647 could not still be bearing children in 1705, the date of the birth of Ebenezer and Mary's first child. It would have been physically impossible.
