  • Notes 
    • The following is based on excerpts from "Descendants of Thomas and Elizabeth Copley in America," by William Copley, Concord,49 High St., New Hampshire, 1981.

      Thomas 1 Copley died August 18, 1634, leaving a widow with two young children and not much future in England. Since her parents and sister Sarah had emigrated to Dorchester, Mass., and then Windsor, Conn., in 1636, Elizabeth1 Copley followed suit. Her name is first mentioned in America on Sept. 17, 1650, when "widow Elizabeth Copley, and English woman," married Nathaniel Phelps in Windsor. He was born in England about 1627, the son of William Phelps. His brother Samuel married Elizabeth's sister Sarah Griswold less thatn two months later in Windsor.

      Nathaniel and Elizabeth1 Phelps moved to Northampton, Mass., about 1656, where they spent the rest of their lives. Elizabeth1 was the mother of six children by her second husband. Nathaniel Phelps died in Northampton 27 May 1702. Elizabeth1 (Copley) Phelps died 6 Dec. 1712 in Northampton. She was probably about 100 years old, but no source gives her age.
