I'm reticent to enter this source with quoted matter in Overview. If the writer is correct (one can't know now from whom or what source the writer had), then William—perhaps with his family when he was young or later as an adult—removed from about 100 miles from Teweskbury, Gloucestershire to be near enough to layer meet Anne in or near Crewkerne, Somerset.

“PHELPS, William, colonist, b. in Tewkesbury, England, 19 Aug., 1599; d. in Windsor, Conn., 14 July. 1672. He emigrated to this country in 1630, and founded the town of Windsor in 1635. He was a respected and important member of the colony, a justice of the first court that was held in Connecticut, foreman of the first grand jury, and a magistrate for many years. He was also a devout and rigid Puritan, and active in the affairs of the church. Dr. Henry R. Stiles says of him: “He helped to lay broad and deep the foundations of the Republic."—His descendant of the sixth generation, Noah, patriot, b. in Simsbury, Conn., 22 Jan., 1740; d. there, 4 March, 1809, was a landholder, and captain of militia previous to the Revolution.”
