Captain John Kent - sourced. Wrong Mary Kent attached as child, perhaps other bad children.

I detached her first from a John Kent who had a Mercy but no Mary and the geography was wrong.

John Kent, of Dedham & Charlestown I saw that you were the curator and that there was a Mary Barber that you had listed already attached.

I saw that other Internet sites had her with Captain John Kent but since Mary (Kent) Phelps was attached, I was suspicious.

Can go into vital records of Suffield, but narrative is from http://www.suffieldhistoricalsociety.org/families/kent.htm & should be right.

"Connecticut Births and Christenings, 1649-1906", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F7WV-HHD : 7 January 2020), Mary Kent, 1715. Father: John Kent. Mother: Mary.

Duh, it's my Kent family and I had all the clues I needed in the profile of Mary (Kent) Phelps, including that she married John Holcomb. I made a new wife of Aaron Phelps and fixed up MY Mary Kent Holcomb. Whatever happened to her could not be revised. I suspect someone married her to Aaron Phelps in error and that I had never made a John Holcomb profile.

"Connecticut, Vital Records, Prior to 1850," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPMH-5SR5 : 20 February 2019), Mary Kent, 21 Apr 1741; citing Marriage, Suffield, Hartford, Connecticut, British Colonial America, Compiled by Lucius A. and Lucius B. Barbour, housed at State Library, Hartford, Connecticut; FHL microfilm 008272237.
"Mary Kent, marriage 21 Apr 1741, Suffield, Hartford, Connecticut, British Colonial America, spouse John Holcomb"

Now I need to fix the wife of Aaron Phelps

Good grief what a mixup. It’s here also

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kent-881

It’s her sister Mercy Kent from the 2nd set of twins who married Aaron Phelps. As you know the names Mary & Mercy were sometimes interchangeable (or mixed up).

"Connecticut Births and Christenings, 1649-1906", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F7WV-HGQ : 7 January 2020), Mercy Kent, 1722. Born 28 Dec 1722 in Suffield, Hartford, Connecticut. Daughter of John Kent and Mary.

And the Phelps were all messed up too.

An Aaron Phelps born 1776 was confused with the guy who fought in the Revolutionary War.

Aaron Phelps, Sr.
Aaron Phelps, Jr. of Windsor

And there's a third one.

Aaron Phelps, Jr.

Sourced out Mercy / Mary Phelps & Aaron Phelps, Sr. and gave them to their parents.

https://media.geni.com/p13/85/57/26/dc/5344485eb9206c45/dvm_genmono... Seems to have an error on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Phelps-778, which seems to have it right.

The Joanna Phelps who married John Jones of Westfield MA would have been an older woman (married 1757, died 1765) than the Joanna Phelps of Windsor who was John Owen’s 1st wife in 1768.

Joanna Owen Is not the same as Joanna Owen & I believe the latter is the daughter of Aaron Phelps, Sr. & Mercy / Mary Phelps

Sorry here’s the other Joanna. Joanna Jones
