All right, now we're getting somewhere. I got frustrated by Ancestry.com wanting an expensive subscription to get any information. I am happy to see that my information matches yours. My ancestry goes back through William King Phelps to Cabird and Mary Polly King to English (or James English?) King.
Thanks for posting,

By the way, I am just restarting my research of which my grandfather, Lester Phelps, started extensively back in the 70's-80's by hand and foot (travel). Can you imagine doing this without the Internet?
Three Phelps brothers, Obediah, Larkin, and Ambrose, married 3 Dye sisters and came to Bent, KY. looking through our phelps' my Ggpa Perrill, his line goes back to Obediah Phelps, Perrill was a twin he married a distant cousin Ggma Barbara, her line goes back to Larken Phelps, his (Perrill) sister Sarah married her (Barbara) brother William Barbaras parents Isaac Phelps and Margaret Snell they had a set of twins Sadie and Sitha. I remember my dad talking about aunt Sari and uncle Will and about aunt Sadie and aunt Sitha. And I grew up with some of their grandkids. wondering...twins run in family...but dont know how many sets have been born in the later generations. Its cool. some of us are definately multiple cousins.
Ggpa Perrill and Ggma Barbara had a set of twins also 1 lived 6 months -Isaac and Margaret was 59 when she passed
Ggpa Perrills sister Alta Phelps married Charles Phelps and they had twins Verl and Jerl Phelps. No idea if Charles was related or not.
Our lines go thru 2 of the phelps brothers that married dye sisters so far in addition to the above further back closer to these 2 brothers Obediah and Larkin.....Larkin's granddaughter Anna Erp married Obediah's grandson Robert which is Lorenzo Dow's Son .... whew
I havnt even looked at ambrose the 3rd brother.
I am a descendant of William King Phelps. My information does not verify that he was the son of Cabird and Polly Phelps as this site states. Can you please advise what documentation was used? It's difficult timing: Wm K was born in 1853 so he isn't on the 1850 US Census, and Cabird died in 1855 so he's not on the 1860 Census. All input is appreciated!

Hi S. Phelps, On our Phelps yDNA lineage page project we show two tested descendants of Cabird, one being William King. Ydna fits. https://sites.google.com/site/archivedydnaphelpsgenealogies/06-three-phelps-felps-lines-with-relevant-ydna-matches/06a-common-ancestor-of-james-phelps-d1786-caswell-nc-john-phelps-d-1794-halifax-va-william-phelps-d1811-albemarle-va/james-phelps-d-1786-caswell-co-nc
I have emailed the Brenda who posted here asking for information. If needed i can ask the descendant shown if he will help.
Meanwhile, it you are a male Phelps, or have a relative direct male Phelps descendant, it would be great to have a ydna test at FTDNA..while joining the Phelps yDNA project
