Several family members of Mr. William PHELPS's family [W14 in P&S] including Timothy and his wife, lived on the land that is now owned by Windsor Veterans Memorial Cemetery. This land extended all the way to Connecticut River. Mr. William's house stood on this land (on East Street), until the village took over the land, including his house. His son William Phelps's house is still standing nearby today. The village razed William's house in 1960s and leveled the land and the ancient cemetery, pushing all the stones to the back and burying them. . All the headstones were missing. Actual burial for William Phelps and his family is unknown, but it is believed that they were buried on this family land. Some believe they were were buried at Palisado Cemetery. The Palisado Green is where the Founders of Windsor is situated and it shows William's engraved name.
