The lineage of the Phelps family has to be the most confusing lineage I have endeavored upon. The repetitive use of common names and the intermarriage between families of separate and distinct lineages turned the family tree into a spiderweb! The information was proofed through several internet sources. One source dealt specifically with the Ruark family at http://www.ruark.org/pulaski-KY-03b.html and the other was a site dealing with a central information dispersal location for the Phelps Family Research Team site at http://phelpsresearch.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html. There is another good site at John Phelps Decsendents (http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/u/r/Winfred-Turner/GENE5-0019.html). Another site, American Phelps Geneaology at http://www.phelpsdna.com/genealogies/Unknown%20Phelps%20%20b.%20bef.%201605,%20E.htm is an authoritative site. There are desparities between the different sites I believe the endeavors at each site has been truthful but there are errors which should be investigated.

Here is an interesting story pertaining to OBEDIAH PHELPS
THE SOMERSET JOURNAL Somerset, Ky., Friday, October 3, 1919 KILLING
At Bent last Friday was a sad affair. Father kills his daughter. Obediah Phelps, 70 years old, resident of the Bent neighborhood, killed his daughter, Mrs. Armetia Hargis, last Friday by striking her on the head with a shovel. The affair is one of the saddest that has occurred in the country for some time and cast a gloom over that entire community. Mr. Phelps, it is said, has been in a demented condition for the past year and his family and friends have been thinking for some time of sending him to a sanitarium for treatment. He was tried before a jury Tuesday afternoon and adjudged insane. He was also examined by two physicians who said he was of unsound mind.
