Descendant kit 331140 Positive SNPs Z31503 > FGC67854. dys576=16 dys449=34 Negative SNPs A10162(confirmed by a snp test), A6108 4 Unique SNPs BY26834 & A2475 This kit did a Big Y SNP test, analyzed by Yfull and was shown to be negative for ALL known M44 Phelps SNPs. Unfortunately he did not show any unique novel snps back to Z31503 which would have helped in ageing. A later analysis by Fullgnomes uncovered SNP FGC67854 which was approved by Yfull.com Yfull matched that with Kit 108456 of the Felps Baltimore line. Later FTDNA showed 2 unique snps See the discussion above for details.
Note 1: Pulaski, Giles CO, TN may be the location based on questionable info.
Genealogy comment from project members
7/1/2017 Provided by
Rebecca Bryant: David Whitman m. Deloah 1843 in Harris Co, GA. There were only 2 Harris Co households in the 1840 Harris census from which his wife could have come: Augustus or W. Deloach. There were no Phelps or derivatives in the same district as Augustus.
A Philips and J Philips also a couple of Williams and a Hartsfield. I can t tell for sure, based on the 1850 and 1830 censuses, if these men were actually Phillips.
There were no Phelps in the same district as David Whitman in 1850 and none in the same county so far as I can tell, so I don t know where folks got that David Whitman is a son of David Sr.
Walter Phelps:
David Whitman Phelps of Pulaski, Giles, Tennessee in the 1820 census is not the same David Phelps/Felps of neighboring Lincoln Co. Tn. in the 1840 census. The Lincoln Phelps)
David Whitman Phelps' parents were both born in Georgia according to the 1880 census record. The father David Phelps Sr. was age 45 or over in the 1820 Pulaski, Giles Co., Tn. census. One final suggestion to Kenneth, go to your local library or book store and get the book "History of Harris County, Georgia 1827 - 1961 by Louise Calhoun Barfield. According to the American Genealogical-Biographical Index (AGBI) they list the aforementioned book as a source for your David W. Phelps birthplace as Tennessee-Georgia in 1810 Harris County. There could also be something about David Sr. [The book was used in this research] (from Walter Phelps)
According to the 1820 Pulaski, Giles, Tennessee census they list the head of household as David Phelps age 45 or over, and two males age 0 - 10 plus others, including a younger female age 15 to 26. David Whitman Phelps would have been one of the two males ages 0 - 10, and his father would be David Phelps age 45 plus. The 1880 census says the parents of David W. Phelps were born in Georgia.

By 11/2017 SNP testing and extended STR testing concluded this line has a common ancestor with the Felps of Baltimore lineage since some time beginning about 1500 up to the early 1700s. SNP testing has also concluded that this line is of the Z31503 and has a shared new snp FGC67854 (or common ancestor) . ALL other non-Felps of Baltimore lines are now excluded.which includes:ALL the other M44 > Z31503 Phelps .
Initially this man was Big Y tested and analyzed byYfull. They reported NO private identifying SNP but did place him with the other Phelps having Z31503. Very unusual. Hoping to find an identifying snp, we had Fullgnomes.com do an analysis. I, Doug Phelps, researched the findings at great length. Of 4 new snps, one was FGC67854 which Yfull.com later acknowledged. This snp was matched uniquely Felps of Baltimore line, kit 108456.
Additionally STRs support this finding. That analysis puts this man closer than any other BIG Y tested Phelps: the Felps of Baltimore line, kit 108456. The analysis is seen below.
Based on these analyses, it seems clear that this line had a common ancestor with the line of 108456 coming from Baltimore As of 11/2017 the identifying SNP of 108456 is SNP A10162 but it appears to have mutated around 1700 or so. Thus the common ancestor discussed here could be Thomas Felps of Baltimore, but could be before or after! {108456’s branch mutated A10162 and DYS449=35 (as all that line has)
