[498] Says Prerogative Court of Canterbury, administrations 1587-1591, page 60. "May 10th, 1588, commission issued to Joan Phelps, relict of James Phelps, late of Tewkesbury, deceased, to administer the goods and chattels of said deceased."

[477] Says Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Sept. 28th, 1611, administrations 1611 to 1614: "Commissioned to Dorothy Phelps, relict of William Phelps, late of Tewkesbury, deceased, to administer the goods and chattles of the said deceased." He probably died 1611. His wife, Dorothy, died 1613. They had been baptized in the Tewkesbury Abbey Church. May 31, 1613, commission issued to Nicholas Phelps, brother of William Phelps, late of Tewkesbury, deceased, to administer the goods and chattels of the said deceased, during the minority of William Phelps, his son, by reason of the death of Dorothy Phelps, relict of the said William Phelps, deceased, leaving goods still unadministered. From this it appears, that James and Joan Phelps had a son Nicholas, not baptized, or at least not recorded in the bap­tisms, probably accounted for by loss of lines in register.

[1262] Oliver Cowdery, the "second elder of the Church," and one of the Three Witnesses of the Book of Mormon, was born in the town of Wells, Rutland County, Vermont, on October 3, 1806. His parents were farming people of the neighborhood. When Oliver was three years of age, he removed with his father's family to Poultney, Vermont, and here he grew up, helping to assist his father on the farm, until 1825 when the family moved again - this time to the western part of the state of New York. For a time after his arrival in New York, Oliver was engaged as a clerk in a store, but in the winter of 1828 and 1829 he accepted the position of teacher in a small rural school in Manchester township. Among the families who sent children to his school was that of Joseph Smith, Sr., a farmer of the neighborhood. It was the custom of that day for the village schoolteacher to board with the families who sent children to his school. Oliver Cowdery thus became acquainted with the members of the Smith family, and for a time he made his residence with them. From them, in their quiet family circle, he heard the wonderful story of the visit of the angel Moroni to their son Joseph; the story of the finding of the sacred record, and of the efforts of the young Prophet to translate the same so that it might be given to the world. Oliver Cowdery became deeply interested and determined to visit Joseph, who, at the time, made his home in Harmony, Pennsylvania. It was on April 5, 1829, that Oliver arrived in Harmony, having accompanied Joseph's younger brother Samuel on the journey. Two days later, Oliver began to write for Joseph while the latter translated the ancient characters written upon the plates. As the interesting work progressed, Oliver became exceedingly anxious to have the gift of translation conferred upon himself. Joseph inquired of the Lord and received two enlightening revelations in regard to the matter, and pertaining to the duties of both himself and Oliver (See D&C sections 8 and 9). After about five weeks of continuous labor, Joseph and Oliver came upon certain passages in the plates which pertained to the subject of baptism. Realizing that they themselves had not been baptized, they decided to seek information from the Lord in prayer concerning this important subject. It was on May 15, 1829, that they knelt in prayer, on the banks of the Susquehanna River, near Joseph's home. While thus engaged, a messenger from heaven descended in a cloud of light and, laying his hands upon them he ordained them, saying: "Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness." The heavenly messenger said that the Aaronic Priesthood did not have power to confer the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. He told them that his name was John, the same that is called John the Baptist in the New Testament, and that he acted under the direction of Peter, James and John, who held the keys of the priesthood of Melchizedek, which priesthood he said would in due time be conferred upon them, when Joseph should be the first elder of the Church and Oliver the second elder. The heavenly messenger also instructed them to baptize each other, and directed that Joseph should baptize Oliver, and that Oliver should baptize Joseph. The brethren complied immediately with this request and the ordinance was performed in the nearby Susquehanna River. Joseph then laid his hands on Oliver and ordained him to the Aaronic Priesthood. Oliver followed with the same procedure and ordained Joseph to the same priesthood. The exact date when the Melchizedek Priesthood was conferred by Peter, James and John is not known, but historians are generally agreed that this important event took place shortly after the bestowal of the Aaronic Priesthood. Due to persecution which developed in the neighborhood of Harmony, Joseph felt that he and Oliver would be forced to move away. Oliver thereupon wrote to David Whitmer of Fayette township, New York, with the request that he and Joseph be permitted to finish their important work at his father's home. Arrangements were satisfactorily concluded and about the first of June, 1829, David Whitmer arrived at Harmony with a two-horse wagon to convey Joseph, Emma, Oliver and the sacred record to Fayette. Arriving at the Whitmer home, the work of translation was immediately resumed, and in about four weeks' time the great and important work was concluded. From David Whitmer we have the information that the translation was finished "in the latter part of June 1829." The vision of the Three Witnesses, of which Oliver Cowdery was permitted to be a member, occurred a few days after the translation was completed, in a grove near the Whitmer home. After arrangements were made by Joseph Smith and Martin Harris to have the manuscript of the Book of Mormon published, Oliver Cowdery was assigned the task of making a printer's copy and looking after the details during publication. This work was performed in a satisfactory manner. On April 6, 1830, the Church was organized in Fayette, New York, and Oliver Cowdery was one of the six original members. It was on that occasion that he was ordained by Joseph Smith to be the second elder of the Church. On April 11th [1830] Oliver preached the first public discourse given by any member of the Church. Thereafter he was very active as a missionary of the Church during the entire summer and fall of 1830, assisting the Prophet in every way possible. In October 1830, Oliver Cowdery, Parley P. Pratt, Peter Whitmer, Jr., and Ziba Peterson were called by revelation to undertake a mission to the Lamanites residing on the western border of the United States. Experiencing great hardships, and traveling mostly on foot, the four brethren reached Independence, Missouri, early in the year 1831. Here they began their labors and here Oliver Cowdery and two of his companions remained until the arrival of the Prophet Joseph and several companions in July following, when Jackson County was designated by revelation as the gathering place of the Saints and a site was selected and dedicated on which a temple was to be built. In the month of August, Oliver Cowdery returned to Kirtland with the Prophet and several companions, and the day following his arrival he was ordained a high priest by Sidney Rigdon. In November 1831, Oliver Cowdery and John Whitmer were sent to Independence with the revelations, which were to be published there by William W. Phelps. Shortly after Oliver's arrival, on January 22, 1832, he was married to Elizabeth Ann Whitmer. The marriage took place on Elizabeth's seventeenth birthday; Oliver at the time was twenty-five years of age. During the Prophet's second visit to Missouri in the summer of 1832, Oliver was appointed one of the high priests to preside over the Saints in the gathering place. When the serious trouble between the old settlers of Jackson County and the Saints broke out in July 1833, Oliver was sent as a messenger to the First Presidency at Kirtland to inform them of the disaster. Following his arrival he was asked to take charge of a publication known as the "Evening and Morning Star." At the dedication of the press, which was held on December 18, 1833, Oliver Cowdery was present, and the same day the Prophet recorded the following blessing in his history: "Blessed of the Lord is Brother Oliver; nevertheless there are two evils in him that he must need forsake, or he cannot altogether forsake the buffetings of the adversary. If he forsakes these evils he shall be forgiven, and he shall be made like unto the bow which the Lord hath set in the heavens; he shall be a sign and an ensign to the nations. Behold, he is blessed of the Lord for his constancy and steadfastness in the work of the Lord; wherefore he shall be blessed in his generation, and they shall never be cut off, and he shall be helped out of many troubles; and if he keeps the commandments and hearkens unto the counsel of the Lord, his rest shall be glorious." At the organization of the first high council of the Church in Kirtland, on February 17, 1834, Oliver Cowdery was selected to be a member. When the Prophet, with Zion's Camp, started for Missouri in May following, Sidney Rigdon and Oliver were left in charge of the Church at Kirtland. After the Prophet's return, on the evening of November 29, 1834, he and Oliver Cowdery united in prayer, and made a covenant that of the means that came to them they would give "a tenth" to be bestowed upon the poor of the Church, "or as he shall command." This was the first introduction of the tithing principle among the Latter-day Saints. In February, 1835, the Three Witnesses of the Book of Mormon, Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer and Martin Harris, chose twelve men from the elders of the Church, to be members of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles. In blessing them and giving them instructions, Oliver Cowdery took a prominent part. He was also one of the trustees of the school in Kirtland, where he studied Hebrew, in connection with the Prophet and other elders. On September 14, 1835, he was appointed to act as Church Recorder. He had previously held the same office from April 1830 to June 1831. Elder Cowdery was present at the dedication of the Kirtland Temple in March 1836, and took a prominent part in the proceedings. On April 3, 1836, he was with the Prophet in the Kirtland Temple when they beheld the great vision of Moses, Elias, and Elijah; and the Savior of mankind appeared before them. In September of the following year, 1837, Oliver Cowdery was appointed to be the assistant counselor to the president of the Church. Despite his great privileges and experiences, Oliver Cowdery practically rejected the leadership of the Prophet during the latter part of 1837 and early in 1838. He opposed several important measures which Joseph Smith advocated. As a result, the high council at Far West, Missouri, where Oliver was residing at the time, took action against him on April 11, 1838, and the following day excommunicated him from the Church. For a period of ten years Oliver Cowdery was not connected with the organization he had so materially assisted in founding. During the years 1838 to 1848 he practiced law in Ohio and Wisconsin. In October 1848, Oliver Cowdery, with his wife and daughter, arrived at Council Bluffs, Iowa, the gathering place of the Saints who were preparing to make the long journey across the plains to Utah. Here he requested of Orson Hyde, who was presiding over that branch at the time, the privilege of again being baptized into the Church. At a special conference of the members held on October 21st [1848], the request was granted and shortly afterwards Oliver Cowdery was baptized by Orson Hyde. In the spring of 1849, Oliver Cowdery expressed the desire to visit with his wife's family in Richmond, Missouri, before undertaking the long journey across the plains. Accordingly, the trip was made to that place, and there, as a guest of his father-in-law, Peter Whitmer, in whose home near Waterloo, New York, the Church had been organized, he spent several pleasant months. As the result of a severe cold, contracted sometime during 1849, he became infected with the dreaded disease known then as "consumption," which brought about his death on March 3, 1850. Oliver Cowdery, at the time, was a few months past his 43rd birthday. Of his death, David Whitmer, who was present, relates: "Oliver died the happiest man I ever saw. After shaking hands with the family and kissing his wife and daughter, he said: `Now I lay me down for the last time: I am going to my Savior'; and he died immediately with a smile on his face."
