Helen (or Ellen) was born in Oxford, New Hampshire, about 1820, the daughter of Joel and Lydia (Dane) Phelps.
She was a resident of Troy, Vermont, in 1845, when she married Sullivan Cutting in Thompson, Connecticut. [1] They lived in Massachusetts (Charlestown[2] and Wayland[3]) before Sullivan passed away in 1856, leaving a widow and five children under 11 years old.
Helen removed to Boston, where she was living with two of her children in 1860.[4] In 1880, she was the head of the household there, with 8 boarders; her sister Mary Wilmarth lived there as well.[5]
