Biography

Frances was born in England about 1610.

Some say she was the daughter of Philip Randall (1574 – 1662) and Joane Flush (1578 – 1665).[citation needed] IF Philip Randall had such a daughter, she was not THIS one. See TAG 25:151.

Clarification

The confusion with her parentage comes from people who are treating George Phelps' first wife, a daughter of Phillip Randall, Philura, and his second wife, Francis, the widow of Thomas Dewey, as the same person. This is usually seen in Family Trees that have unapproved sources according to WikiTree standards. They were two different people.[1]

Marriages

She married first about 1630 ____ Clark (NOT Joseph Clark of Windsor) by whom she had:

  • Mary Clark (who later married George Strong[2]).

She married second Thomas Dewey 22 MAR 1638/39 in Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut by whom she had (this needs checking):

  • John Dewey 1640 – 1640
  • Thomas Dewey 1640 – 1690
  • Josiah Dewey Sr. 1641 – 1732
  • Anna Dewey 1643 – 1701
  • Israel Dewey 1645 – 1678
  • Jedediah Dewey 1647 – 1718

She married third George Phelps (1606 – 1687) by whom she had three children. [3]

Randall-1113 and Unknown-256580 appear to represent the same person because: Frances Randall was not born in 1613 in Windsor, CT because it wasn't founded until the 1630s. Unreliable source. Frances is Unknown surname.

From Donald Lines Jacobus, "Strong-Clark The Corrector Corrected," in TAG 35:151: "There was also in Windsor a widow, Frances Clark, name of husband unknown, who married 22 Mar 1638/9 Thomas Dewey, and the records of Dewey's estate show that she had one Clark child, also named Mary, who was 12 in 1648, hence born about 1636 and a little older than Joseph Clarke's daughter [of same name bp 30 Sep 1638]. It was this Mary Clark [dau of widow Frances Clark] who married, 26 Nov. 1656, John Strong, Jr., as his first wife. This is proved by two deeds recorded 21 Sept. 1663 in which John Strong called two sons of Thomas and Frances Dewey his 'brothers.' "
