I am researching the John Phelps family of Marietta, Ohio. Here is what I have thus far: John Phelps b ca 1775 d 1812-13 Marietta, Ohio--no grave found m Sarah Sally Blake 23 Aug 1806 in Washington County, OHio Three children: Martha b 1807, Abigail, and Benjamin Blake Phelps b 1811--all born in Marietta I do not know where John was from. Reportedly he was a boat builder and a riverboat captain on the Ohio River. He died sometime in 1812 or 1813 as his widow married Rev. John Strait 26 Dec 1813. Is there a source available that may have information about river boats on the Ohio from Marietta during this time frame ? Is there a directory of businesses for this time frame or licensing in Marietta? Does anyone know of a resource that might help me locate more information on him? ANY information gratefully accepted and appreciated. BRICK WALL for more than 50 years.
