Individual Notes
• Richard Fellows was at [1831] wedding of [daughter] Lydia and Sherman Smith.1853

• No Richard Fellows in Clarkson or Old Brockport cemeteries.4908

• I’ve searched the Fellows material that I have available, and am sorry to say that I have nothing at all that would help identify the Richard you’re looking for.
I do think that all those with the Fellows surname who were in Connecticut before 1800 were descendants of William of Ipswich. But, as you know, the name Richard is not at all common in that group. I know nothing further about the Richard born 1785, son of Philemon.2588
Research
• His parentage is likely, but not completely proven; needs more work.

• Cannot find in 1820 census; Ancestry.com, 26 Feb 2005 and 18 Jun 2005, including examination of sibling’s family compositions.
