Hull and Pauline Mary Phelps. It took some searching before discovering that Pauline Mary Phelps (or Mary Pauline) originated from Simsbury, CT. Her obituary says shedied in Stony Creek, CT (8/9/1911); it also listed 2 living brothers Geoge (sic) M. and John. My mother (who is still alive) remembers the Phelps name but knew them from her visits to Stony Creek. Her family had a home there as well.---perRon Bourn [bournready@bellsouth.net], e-mail dated 9/5/2007 to 'DHubbell0596', cc to ewbarnard@embarqmail.com; Barnard,Walther M; bsbourn@bellsouth.net my grandfather is Roy Hull Fairchild, the son of George W. Fairchild and Louise Hull (sometimes spelled Louisa). I know that Louise's father was Selah A. Hull (sometimes spelled Selak and/or Hall) My middle name and my mother's is Louise. Pauline Hull's obiturary states that she was the wife of Selah A. Hull, a Meriden stock broker and that she had 2 living brothers - George M. Phelps of Hartford and John Phelps of Simsbury. She died in Stony Creek, CT (on the shore) Selah owned his own investment company. The Meriden directories, starting in 1890, show that George W. worked for him. I know that the Fairchild/Hull's at one time owned property in Stony Creek. I know that my mom and aunt took boat rides with the Phelps family A rootsweb.com auto-biography of John Wesley Phelps states that Hector Fayette Phelps and Roxanna S. Barnard were the parents of Mary Paulina, born 4/13/1838, wife of "Selah A. Hall" of Meriden, George M., John W., and Hector Fayette (presumably Jr.) I know that Roy Fairchild's family moved in with George and Louise on Broad St. I believe they had lived in Wallingfordfor awhile. I even remember the Broad St. house, because I lived in it for 6 months while going to 1st grade there. -- per Barbara Bourn, e-mail to WMB 9/27/2007 "... there was another "Hull" family (Louisa C., her son John R. and wife Edith who lived on Broad St. (334) from at least 1880 - 1930 (according to census and Meriden directories). It appears sometime around 1929 John R. and Edith moved in with Louise M. Hull (275 Broad St.) The 3 of them were about the same age; I know the stock market crash caused havoc with the family. What is weird about that 1930 census was that it showed John R. to be the head of household at the 275 address. Clearly that was not the case! John R. died 12/29/1930. My mom, her sister and parents moved from Wallingford into 275 Broad St. around 1931 and lived there until the 50's..."-- per Barbara Bourn, e-mail to WMB 9/28/2007 Received from Barbara Bourn, e-mail to WMB 5 Nov. 2008: On our trip to CT & RI in Sept. we visited with my Aunt in Meriden. The topic of "family" came up and she told us that her grandmother -- Louise M. Hull, daughter of Selah Hull and Pauline Phelps -- told her at a young age that she, Louise, was adopted. Considering all the work I had done on the Hull/Phelps genealogy, I decided to delve into it more. A researched in CT discovered for me the following births/deaths to Selah and Pauline: Meriden Births: 3:76 - A son, born 27 Aug 1864 to Selah A. and Mary P. Hull, both 25, white and living in Meriden. Dad was a clerk. J. Tait, M.D. 3:97 - A son, born 4 May 1866 to Selah A. and Pauline M. Hull, both 27, white and living in Meriden. Dad was a merchant. N. Nickerson, M.D. 6:50 - Kate S. born 24 Oct 1871 to Selah A. and Pauline Phelps, both 33, Dad was born in Meriden and Mom was born in Simsbury. Both parents were white and living in Meriden. She was listed as the 5th child. Dad was a livery stable keeper. N. Nickerson, M.D. 6:278 - Pauline born 26 Jan 1877 to Selah A. and Pauline Phelps, both 38, Dad was born in Meriden and Mom was born in Simsbury. Both parents were white and living in Meriden. She was listed as the 4th child. Dad was a clerk. N. Nickerson, M.D. Meriden Deaths: 8-160 - Pauline Hull, 8 months and 15 days died 10 Oct 1877 of diarrhea. She was the daughter of Selah and Pauline Hull. The Meriden clerk's office told me (from Louise's death records) that her date of birth was Oct. 26, 1865. Prior to getting the clerk's DOB, I had documented that she was born in Oct., 1865 from some other source, which of course I don't have now. Her obituary says she died at the age of 87. The researcher found no females born in Meriden on that date and assuming the date is correct, it is rather biologically impossible to have given birth to Louise in Oct. and have anotherchild the following May. 'Findagrave.com' shows the grave records of Ethan Phelps Hull born May, 1866 and buried in East Cemetery; Mary Pauline and Selah are both buried in Walnut Grove, as is Louise. I wasn't able to find burial sites for the son born in 1864, Kate, or Pauline. According to Selah's obituary, he had several jobs, including the livery stable keeper, and elected to the town clerk'soffice. In later years he owned an investment firm, so all the above facts are correct. Additional from Barbara Bourn, e-mail to WMB 6 Nov. 2008: 8:40 - Katie Hull, 10 month old female, died on 20 Aug 1872 of Diarrhea. She was the daughter of Selah Hull. N. Nickerson, M.D. Meriden Marriages: 7:222 - Louise M. Hull, 19 year old female, married George W. Fairchild, 21 year old male. He was born in Meriden. She is listed as born in Collinsville (part of Canton). They were married on 6 Oct 1885, both were white and living in Meriden. Reverend Alfred H. Hall. Registrar Selah A. Hull. Pauline's older sister, Emma, was living in Canton at that time. Emma also had a baby boy, Walter, born "abt. 1864" (per your records). 1860 census shows a clergyman living in the area too (presuming the census was listed by homes). Perhaps there was an adoption arranged by one of the above. Louise married George W. Fairchild ( - ), per obituary of Louise's mother, Pauline M.
