Mary Burgess (prob. VA) m John Phelps
7/19/98
I am descended from Burgess Phelps who died in Logan Co, KY, in about 1809.Prior to his removal to Logan Co, I have evidence that he resided in Rowan Co, NC (1778) and Lincoln Co, NC (1790).It is thought by many researchers that he was born in Virginia and was the son of a John Phelps.I have so far found no documentary evidence of either of those assertions.Some researchers appear to believe that my ancestor was named for the House of Burgesses.I am much more inclined to think that Burgess was a family name -- perhaps the family name of his mother.The Mary Burgess married to John Phelps would certainly fit this scenario.Can anyone tell me anything more about this John and Mary Burgess Phelps?Which of the several John Phelps individuals in VA is this one?Thanks for any help you can give me.
