Surnames: PHLEPS, BARTLETT, BRIDGEFORD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QFC.2ACE/820 Message Board Post: Silas Decatur PHELPS (b. about 1815 in Connecticutt) and Alseda BARTLETT (b. about 1813 in Massachusetts) were married in 1834 in Connecticutt, and came to La Grange, Walworth County, Wisconsin about 1844 (based on birth locations of their children). Silas acquired a Wisconsin land patent in 1850. Silas' brother, Isaac Chandler PHELPS also came to Walworth County, and he married Alseda's sister, Mary (Polly) BARTLETT. According to the Walworth County 1850 and 1860 census records, children of Silas and Alseda were: Anson D (b. about 1836 in Connecticutt), Ellen M (b. about 1837 in Connecticutt), Isaac O (b. about 1844 in Wisconsin), Silas C <aka "Cicero"?> (b. about 1845 in Wisconsin), Rosalinda <aka "Mary R L"?> (b. about 1846 in Wisconsin), Winfield L (b. about 1850 in Wisconsin), Matilda L (b. about 1852 in Wisconsin), and Frances T/P (b. March 31, 1854 in Wisconsin). Frances PHELPS m. John Henry BRIDGEFORD about 1884. Frances and John Henry are my husband's great-grandparents. I am interested in sharing information with other family and/or researchers. I am particularly interested in what may have happened to the children of Silas and Alseda, as well as their cousins. I have a lovely photograph of Frances Phelps BRIDGEFORD <1899> taken in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. (I have attempted to attach it to this message several times, however, the server keeps timing out.) <FYI, I have found ancestry information for both the PHELPS and BARTLETT lines.>
