Frances (Unknown) Phelps migrated to New England during the Puritan Great Migration (1620-1640). Join: Puritan Great Migration Project Discuss: pgm

Clarification

The confusion with her parentage comes from people who are treating George Phelps' first wife, a daughter of Phillip Randall, Philura Randall, 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]

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.
