Capt. Phelps came to Lexington to reside about 1835. His profession was that of a mariner. He began as a cabin-boy, and worked his way through the different grades to master. He made many voyages to Europe and the Levant, and around Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope, in command of several of the finest ships; he was wrecked once, while young, at the Cape of Good Hope, and once while captain at the entrance of Plymouth Harbor. The latter was in the winter of 1836. This was one of the most distressing shipwrecks known on our coast. The intense cold and the unmanageable ship, in consequence of the ice accumulated upon her, caused a

During a voyage which extended over six years, by force of circumstances he left the ship, and was obliged to take service under flags of various nations. During which time he visited most of the ports of the Pacific, parts of Australia and Van Diemen's Land, and returned home around Cape Horn in 1823.

In 1840 he commanded a large ship,* and began a series of trading voyages to California, remaining there till his cargo was disposed of, and procuring in its place a cargo of hides. These voyages were generally of three years' duration. San Francisco was then called Yerba Buena, and consisted of three houses, where the city now stands. The river Sacsamento had never been visited before then from the sea, and Capt. Phelps with two of his boats and a part of his crew explored it for about one hundred miles inland and displayed the stars and stripes for the first time upon its waters. His third voyage was disturbed by the Mexican War, and on that coast he cooperated with Stockton and Fr6mont in their operations, and thus contributed something to our acquiring possession of the country. His last voyage was to California, the Sandwich Islands and China, and ended by his return to New York in 1857. He spent about forty years upon the sea, and twenty-six of them as commander of a ship. He was a member of the first board of trustees of the Lexington Savings Bank.

The records of the Lexington church recognize on 14 Oct. 1787 the fact of their recommendation from Falmouth to Nova Scotia, and state "from whence they came to refide in this Town, and requefted Ch^ Privileges with Us."

Afterwards he moved to Charlestown, where he had an ofiBce. Having a taste for rural life, he came to Lexington in 1823. He was a prominent man in the town and county, for many years clerk of the courts of Middlesex, an office which he held at the time of his death. He was distinguished as an agriculturist, was for many years a trustee of the State Agricultural Society, and his farm in the south part of the town was brought to a high state of cultivation, the whole, including fruit trees and stock, attracting visitors from a distance. This scientific and practical knowledge of the art of husbandry exerted a wide influence over others engaged in that pursuit.

In 1825 he published an interesting and valuable account of the Battle of Lexington, and ably vindicated the claims of this town to distinction on 19 April 1775.

After the death of her husband she returned to her friends, and at the breaking out of the Civil War her sympathies were turned to the sick and wounded.

In Aug. 1862 she entered upon her duty as a hospital nurse, ser\ang first at the Mansion House at Alexandria, Va.; thence at Beaufort, and last at Smithville, N. C, till 1865. She was associated with Miss Dix, and being a regular hospital nurse was subject to the orders of the hospital department, or otherwise she would have followed her inclinations and gone to the front. In Oct. 1870 she set sail for Liverpool on her way to offer her services to her husband's country in the Franco-Prussian War. She received the " Iron Cross, a war medal for non-combatants, together with a certficate for her services - a Cross of Merit was forwarded to her but never reached her." * vii.
