Martha ("Patsy") Phelps

F, #2639, b. 20 June 1737, d. 8 March 1767

This person is confused with James Thomas Powhatan Bowling (9 Jan 1756-7 Aug 1824) son of Major John Kennon Bolling II and Elizabeth Blair Bolling Bland. This person may not exist as a son of Benjamin Bolling and Martha Phelps.

There is a possible DNA link with common ancestor Benjamin Bolling and Martha Phelps, but... they have no tree. and suggested trees are with the above people.

Misc		DNA Matches - Excellent. 4/24/2024 I have 107 DNA matches with Benjamin Bolling. Scott has 264! (does he have more than one path?) Using thrulines, Benjamin Bolling b1734 or Martha Phelps b1737 show common ancestor Benjamin Bolling and martha Phelps. Also true through Elizabeth. But if you choose a child known to have Chrity as their mother, it will only show Benjamin Bolling. I'm assuming this means that Benjamin Bolling b1734 is not a child of Charity but of Martha Phelps. (it does NOT say who her parents are! or even her name for that matter). 1/2024 111 matches 15 with Delaney 117 DNA matches, but they do not prove Martha Phelps is the name of the mother nor of course who her parents were. Only Benjamin and Joseph John is listed as half. 15 with Delaney and the rest with siblings 1/2024 Scott 241 matches! across a whole bunch of children! none as half.
Misc		Parents: DNA. See the DNA matches of Scott Borgmier and Judith Nicholls to other children of both John Phelps and Mary Catherine Gibson. Actually, there is little known about ANY of the daughters of John Phelps except that the ones that were still alive were mentioned in his will. NO grandchildren are mentioned in the will. The book Pocahontas to Benjamin Bolling says Mary Patsy Phelps father was Colonel Thomas Phelps (1700-1751). not Captain John Phelps (1705 - 1772) as most trees have. He would have been a brother of John Phelps. Thomas Phelps and Elizabeth Patterson (1706-1772)have a child named Mary but nothing is listed for her. I see no will for Thomas. Comment to the source below: Is documentation available that connects Martha Phelps Bolling to John Phelps. I am listed as having .039% of John Phelps and Mary Catherine Gibson's DNA but I have not come across documentation other than DNA. Answer: I couldn't locate any primary sources. "There is no proof that Martha "Patsy" Phelps is the daughter of John Phelps (1705-1772)." John Phelps' mother was named Martha Margaret or Margaret Martha. ___________ She was dead before John Phelps died, so she would not have been mentioned in his will, but children could have been: John Phelps "He died in Bedford County in 1772, and his will, recorded in Will Book "A," page 137, mentions wife Mary; children: Jane, Judith, Sarah, Ann, Mary, Betty, John, and Aggey. ______________ She is supposed to be from Albemarle Co., Va. In researching Albemarle I have found a William Phelps and a Thomas Phelps there. But whether Martha belongs to one of them or not I just don't know. She was supposed to have Native Americn blood? She died in 1767 at the birth of their daughter Elizabeth? http://bblair.freeservers.com/ (also see zotero copy) _________________ familysearch tree has a daughter of John b1705 Martha "Patty" who marries a James Turner III in 1756. AS WELL AS a Martha Phelps who marries Benjamin Bolling^7,8,9,10
Misc		Melungeon. The following is from Kathy Lindhout: [email protected]: (I do not know if Melungeons truly exist, if they are fiction, or if this is just an assumption on her part). Benjamin Bowling was a Melungeon and a close friend of Christopher Gist, a famous backwoods frontiersman. Benjamin's wife, Patsy Phelps was also a Virginia Melungeon and her mother was believed to have been a "Gibson". --http://yeahpot.com/bolling/benjamin.php

Birth	1765	I have seen the date 16-APR-1765 but without evidence of anything but the 1765 part.
Marriage	16 April 1785	In Buckingham County, Virginia, United States. Buckingham County VA Clerk?s Declaration of Marriage I, Rolfe Eldridge, Clerk of the County Court of Buckingham in the State of Virginia hereby certify that I have carefully examined the records and files of my office and have not been able to find any register returned of the marriage of Pleasant Childers and Sarah Jeffries, but that a license issued from this office for that purpose appears by a bond given on the 30th day of March 1785 of which the following is a copy: ?Know all men by these presents that we, Pleasant Childers and John Jeffries are held and firmly bound unto the Governor and Council of the Commonwealth of Virginia and their successors in the sum of fifty pounds current money, to which payment well and truly to be paid, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, and administrators jointly and severally firmy by here presents. Sealed with our seals and dated this 30th day of March 1785. Whereas a marriage is shortly intended to be had and solemnized between the above bound Pleasant Childers and Sarah Jeffries. Now the condition of the above obligation is such that if there be no lawful cause to obstruct the said marriage then the above obligation to be void else to remain in full force and (effect?) Pleasant Childers (seal) John Jeffries (seal)? That no register is found here, ought to raise no presumption that the marriage did take place, as it has happened as often as otherwise, that ministers of the Gospel have failed to return to the office lists of marriages solemnized by them. In testimony whereof, I hereto set my hand and affix the seal of my office this twenty-sixth day of December in the year one thousand, eight hundred and fifty. Rolfe Eldridge, C. B. C.^1,2,3,4
Death	10 August 1843	At age ~78 in Pike County, Kentucky, United States.⁴

Misc		DNA matches - spectacular. 8/4/2024 Judy's DNA as Samuel Anderson Mary Tate 9 matches with two half siblings: Nancy Jeffries - comes up though with Mary Tate and Nathaniel Jeffries Mary Jeffries - Also both parents 6/8/2024 Scott's DNA as Samuel Anderson Sarah Jeffries 131 matches Lucinda 9 matches 1 JR&CW, nada Elizabeth 23 matches 3 parents Flemon 1 JR&CW, 3 parents Jesse Sarah Flemmon Pleasant ___________ 48 DNA matches with children of Sarah Jeffries, 7 other children, 19 on my Unknown. Some are half, which may mean Sarah Jeffries was not the wife?
Misc		Parents. She matches with Nathaniel Jeffries and Mary Tate, BUT how do the dates work? And she comes up with siblings that other people assign to the other wife, Steen. BUT I do not have parents for her on Ancestry and they decide to go with Mary Tate AND we get very good matches with Mary Tate's father William Tate (see)and mother Sarah Skelton (see)DNA matches continue up the tree. I have no idea who the other children's mother is, but it appears that Sarah's mother and ancestry is Tate. It's also a mystery because neither mother appears to have died young.
Misc	29 June 1793	Named in her father's will. Sally Childress⁵
Misc	28 October 1839	Pension in Pike County, Kentucky, United States.^3,4

Amanda Spencer

F, #2643, b. about 1848, d. before 1860

Parents

Father	Thomas Andrew Spencer (b. 22 January 1825, d. 27 August 1904)
Mother	Martha Ellen Chapman (b. 20 February 1830, d. 23 May 1910)

Birth	about 1848	In Preston, Platte, Missouri, United States.¹
Death	before 1860	She is missing in the 1860 census. Of course she just could not have been living there... She would have been 12 years old.²

Misc		Possible marrige record. There is a possible marriage record of an Amanda Spencer in Sullivan County, Missouri, to a Peter King on 8 Feb 1865. Platte County and Sullivan County are 129 miles apart. There are Spencers in Sullivan County according to the familysearch tree. Possibly related but not closely if my family tree is correct.³
Residence	1850	In Preston, Platte, Missouri, United States.^4,2,1

The record notes "both of Sullivan County" so either this is not our person or she was living with someone in Sullivan County.

William David Spencer

M, #2647, b. 1765, d. 1830

Parents

Father	Joseph Charles Spencer (b. 6 November 1738, d. January 1837)
Mother	Mary DeRoachbroom (b. about 1731, d. 2 September 1816)

Family: Margaret Miller (b. 1769, d. 1816)

Daughter	Mary Martha ("Patsey") Spencer+ (b. 1785, d. 1840)
Son	Joseph Spencer (b. 1790, d. 1878)
Son	John Spencer (b. 1792)
Daughter	Rachel Spencer (b. 1796)

Birth	1765	In Wilkes County, North Carolina, British America.¹
Death	1830	At age ~65. Note, his death in 1785 would be before 2 of his children were born. But there is no evidence of his death anyway!¹

Misc		DNA Matches? Almost as if Joseph Charles is our William David's grandfather, but the William David we have is not his father... Later. 5 DNA matches, but are called half, 2 with Rachel and 1 with "David Joseph" (1806-1891), 2 with William (1814). DNA matches confusing. There may be some problem here, especially with the wife... Only 2 matches but these are not children from my list, and wrong kind of dates for his children.
Misc		Parents: ? He also would not have been born in North Carolina if he were the son of Joseph Charles? Too many Spencers, not enough info!¹
Residence	7 August 1820	In Lee, Virginia, United States. 1820 US Census. Could be another William, like our ancestor William... but there are male and female 45 or older and William would have been 55.²
Residence	1830	In Lee County, Virginia, United States. This could fit. There is a free white male 60-69, but there is also a free white female 60-69, so he got another wife or Margaret Miller did not die in 1816 (no evidence anyway). Then he died soon thereafter if the death date has any validity.³

Margaret Miller

F, #2648, b. 1769, d. 1816

Misc		DNA Matches. Whatever these were, they disappeared! 2 DNA matches with children William D Jr and John Spencer But Scott has 15 matches with margaret Miller 2014 my tree. Some with children not in our list...
Misc		Another husband? Some lists have children named Lucas and husband Joseph Rasberry "Berry" Lucas (1765-1846). No, none of this makes sense! Most trees have total nonsese for her.
