Narrative of John Phelps
By John Phelps (Born 1796 Virginia - Died 1874 Illinois)

Contributed by Gordon Merritt

This brief sketch and history of events that I have passed through from my earliest days to the present time, is to be left as a record to my family and relatives who may follow after me. As my life has been a somewhat eventful one, my history may be of interest to my relatives and friends when I have passed away. I, therefore, shall endeavor to give a brief and correct account of my travels, acts and doings as I passed through the various vicissitudes and difficulties along the journey of life.

NOTE: John Phelps lived in Tennessee between 1815 - 1827
