> Most vital records that I have seen show: > JOSEPH PHELPS, son of Timothy & Mary (Griswold) Phelps > b. 17 Sep 1716, Windsor, CT Hello everyone... Savage vol 3 page 407 under Timothy PHELPS.. gives Joseph's birth as 27 Sep 1666 at Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut... Savage vol 2 page 465 under John HORSFORD, gives Sarah's birth as 27 Sep 1666 at Windsor, Hartford, Connecticut I have always thought it odd that both were born the same day, but it isn't impossible... Torrey's New England Marr prior 1700 p576 gives both Joseph PHELPS and his wife Sarah HOSFORD'S birth as 1666.. and 1716 for the death of Jospeh PHELPS and no date for Sarah's death. > d. 30 Aug 1716, Hebron, CT. I also have Joseph PHELPS as dying 30 Aug 1716 but I have him dying in Hebron, Tolland, Connecticut > SARAH HOSFORD, dtr of John & Phillipa (Thrall) Hosford > b. 17 Sep 1716, Windsor, CT > d. 30 Aug 1716, Hebron, CT I have that for her birth also, and unless they were killed together, in a fire, buggy accident or by the Indians I would say that would be the only way they would of died the same day..
