There isn't an Ichabod Phelps in NY in 1820. I think he must have died between 1810 and 1820.
1810 census Schoharie Co NY p151, Broome twp
Ichabod Phelps 1 M 26-45, 1 M 45+, 1 F 26-45
[Ichabod Jr 28?, Ichabod 61, wife?]
His neighbors are Wilson Phelps 16-26 and Othniel Phelps 26-45. A few houses down in Darius Phelps 26-45 with 9 children.
Note that Daniel Roberts who married Polly Phelps is in Schoharie Co in 1820. An Ichabod Phelps 1782 apparently lived with Daniel and Polly from at least 1820 to 1850, and with their son in 1860. Apparently Ichabod 1782 never lived on his own. Why did he move in with Polly by 1820, though? The obvious reason would be that his father had died.
1800 census Schoharie Co NY p1208, Bristol twp
Egabud Phelps 1 M 10-16, 1 M 16-26, 1 M 45+, 2 F 10-16, 2 F 45+
[Wilson 12, Ichabod Jr 18?, Ichabod 51, Polly 15, x, x, wife?]
Also in Schoharie Co on p1207 are Darius Phelps 26-45 and Niel [Othniel?] Phelps 26-45. They are near the bottom of p1207, and Egabud is near the top of p1208.
1790 census Tolland Co CT p135
Icabod Phelps 1 M 16+, 2 F
Icabod Phelps Jr 1 M 16+, 1 M 0-15, 4 F
My Ichabod should have at least Darius, Othniel 16, Ichabod 8, and Polly 5, which doesn't fit either of those entries. I'm fairly sure this is Ichabod Sr + Mary Trumbull, and Ichabod Jr + Hannah Olcott.
This must be him:
1790 census Litchfield Co CT, Litchfield
p377
Ichabod Phelps 3 M 16+, 3 M 0-15, 4 F
p367
Elijah Phelps 4 M 16+, 1 M 0-15, 4 F
Darius Phelps 2 M 16+, 1 M 0-15, 3 F
This Ichabod has enough children to be mine, and there is an Elijah nearby. Who is the Darius, though? Was Ichabod's son old enough to have children in 1790? Or did Ichabod have a brother Darius?
