From John Sibun's book Our Town's Heritage 1708-1958 Hebron, Connecticut, published by Douglas Library, Hebron, CT, 1975: "The first white men to settle in town were Timothy Phelps and William Shipman, who arrived in Hebron from Windsor in June 1704. The area, then a wilderness, was used by the Indians as a hunting ground, and the few white men who knew of its existence passed through to other locations. The first two houses were located along Route 85 sourth of today's center. Approximately on what is now the Hilding driveway, Shipman built his homestead and Phelps constructed his home across the road on the land now owned by the Porter family. It is possible they worked on their property during the summer months only for the first two years, and returned to their families in Windsor when winter set in."
Timothy moved with his younger brother Nathaniel to Hebron in 1690. Hebron was incorporated in 1708, and Timothy was one of the first selectmen. Another brother Joseph moved there later.
