Edward Phelan
Edward Phelan, also Phalen or Felyn, was an early settler of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Phelan was born in approximately 1811 in Derry, Ireland〔 and later became, along with John Hays and William Evans, one of the first settlers of Saint Paul.〔Regan, ''Irish in Minnesota'', 8〕〔Holmquist, ''They Chose Minnesota: A Survey of the State's Ethnic Groups'', 148〕 Phelan was later accused of Hays' murder, the first ever in Saint Paul, but was acquitted. He was indicted for perjury a year later but fled to California before he could be prosecuted. Phelan was killed by his companions in what they describe as self-defense before he could reach California. Many locations in Saint Paul, Minnesota are named after Phelan as a result of his early land claims. Phelan's name was spelled variously and as a result most locations are named Phalen and not Phelan〔Upham, ''Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance'', 440〕
