Phelps and Susan unknown. On the 1860 Natchitoches LA census there's a Wm Phelps b. 1825 GA married to Susan Phelps b. 1840 AL. There's a marriage record for Wm D Phelps and Susan Fleniken, 21 Dec 1857, De Soto LA in 'Louisiana Marriages, 1718-1925'. On the 1910 Bowie census both Susan and her brother Willie show father born GA and mother born AL. There's another Phelps/LR link though it may not be related to your family. It's the one that brought me to this subject, though. In 1914 Lem David Phelps married Beulah Mary Dore in Little River, though they are both from families in Red River TX. Beulah may be the niece of Lucrecie/Luella Johnson, married to Samuel M. Johnson and on the LR 1900 and 1910 census. Other than that I don't know why they married in LR. The Red River Phelps's seem to descend from Alpherd Phelps b. 1816 NC, in TN 1840's, to TX 1850's. The Dore (Dorey, Dorn) family is from Louis Dorn b. 1831 Germany, in IL 1860-80. Hope something here may be of help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
