• Notes

  Timothy Phelps resided in Windsor, Connecticut, on the old homstead on land purchased by his father from the Indians. He was propounded* in Octber of 1663 and made a freeman on the second of May in 16??. He was appointed a lieutenant by the General Court, receiving his commission in 1709 and served under Col. William Whiting in Capt. Mathew Allyn's Company in the Queen Anne War. *propound to suggest or put forward for consideration On 23 Apr 1662 King Charles II granted Connecticut a charter as a self-governing corporate colony, with an eastern boundary at Narragansett Bay, overlapping part of the Rhode Island patent. Rhode Island did not concede its claim to territory between the Pawcatuck River and Narragansett Bay (the Narragansett Country), but Connecticut quickly took control of the area. (Bowen, Disputes, 32; Swindler, 2:135-136) On 10 May 1666 the Colony of Connecticut created four original counties: Fairfield, Hartford, New Haven, and New London. (Conn. Col. Recs., 2:34-35). Thus, Windsor became a part of Hartford County [1]
