The Phelps Family Crest

The English origin of William Philps, the emitrant, who reached Boston in 1630, and settled, later, at Windsor, Ct, is not established with all desirable precision. It is generally believed that he came from Exeter, county Devon, England, although some family records show him to have been the son of Jofm Phelps of Nether-Tyne, county Northumberland. Mr. Whitmore gives Porlock, county Minnehead, county Somerset, as the emigrant's native place. As for the arms, they are said to have come over with the original William Phelps. Many other-Phelpses, not connected with the one above mentioned, emigrated, later, to the American colonies.
