A QUICK SUMMARY: Anne DOVER married William Phelps on 14 Nov 1630 in Crewkerne, Somerset Co, England. I have a copy of their marriage record at Crewkerne Parish: "William Phelps and Anne Dover were married the xiv th day of November 1626."<ref>Crewkerne Parish Records</ref><ref>CT VR 57</ref><ref> GMB 3:1445</ref> Submitted by Dorothy Phelps, Tuesday, March 18, 2014.
NOTE 1: William PHELPS married two wives. His first wife was Mary unk. She died in England. She had 4 kids with Wm. William then remarried to Anne Dover and had 7 more children. NOTE 2: Many have confused the two or conflated the two. Anna Dover was Ann or Anne and never Mary. Certainly not Mary Anne Dover! Not Mary Anne or Anne Mary, etc. This has been repeated through numerous sources, including submitted/shared trees, so often that it's become almost a myth. This needs to be dispelled.Submitted by Dorothy Phelps, Tuesday, March 18, 2014.

Please check her husband William Phelps' Bio/Sources for more info. Vital records were found in Crewkerne Parish. It has several birth/baptism, marriage, and death dates for various members of this family. (I have most of these records from Crewkerne Parish, Crewkerne, Somerset Co., England. This info can also be found in Great Migrations. Series).

Oliver Seymour Phelps and his son-in-law, Andrew T. Servin, authors ofThe Phelps Family in America2, erred in concluding that William Phelps and a brother, George Phelps, both emigrated from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England in 1630, to the New World.[1] Their identification of the origin of William Phelps of Dorchester, Massachusetts was basedsolely on an estimate of his birth date, derived from his known age of 72 at death on July 14, 1672. Oliver Phelps located a William Phelpswho was baptized in Tewkesbury on August 19, 1599, and thus identified him as the original immigrant. He also believed that George Phelps of Windsor, Connecticut, was William’s brother, despite the fact thatthey could not locate any records for a George Phelps in Tewkesbury.[1] Recent genetic research has shown no biological relationship between the descendants of William and George Phelps.[2]
More recent expert research has identified William Phelps of Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England as the probable immigrant.[3] He had two wives: (1) Mary (surname unknown), buried in England in 1626, and (2) AnneDover, who probably accompanied him and children from both marriages to Dorchester, Massachusetts, a town later subsumed as a neighborhood of Boston. The names and birthdates of his children correspond to the records later found in the American colony. William Phelps of Crewkerne, England is estimated to have married his first wife Mary sometime between 1615-1618, as their first child William was baptized at Crewkerne on September 9, 1618. Mary and William had four children, all baptized before 1625 at Crewkerne: William, Samuel, an unnamed infant who died young, and Nathaniel.[4][5]:62 Mary was buried at Crewkerne on August 13, 1626.[6] This above article was written by Margaret Phelps Swanson, a renowned Phelps genealogist in New England http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Phelps_(colonist) http://www.phelpsfamilyhistory.com/index.aspSubmitted by Dorothy Phelps, Tuesday, March 18, 2014.
