Elizabeth Porter Phelps
Elizabeth Porter Phelps (1747–1817) was a member of the eighteenth-century rural gentry in western Massachusetts; she is also recognized as an important diarist from late 18th century and early 19th century in Hadley, Massachusetts (USA).
==Biography==
Elizabeth Porter () was born in 1747. As a young child she moved with her parents to a large farm known as Forty Acres, located in Hadley, Massachusetts. Built in 1752 by Moses and Elizabeth Porter, this estate reflected the family's wealth and social standing. After Moses Porter died in 1755 during the Battle of Lake George (an episode during the French and Indian War), his widow Elizabeth Pitkin Porter, who never remarried, hired a series of managers to help run the large farm; she remained at the estate until her death in 1798.
Elizabeth Porter married estate manager Charles Phelps, Jr. on June 14, 1770 and continued to reside at Forty Acres. In 1772 Phelps gave birth to a son, Moses Porter Charles Phelps. In late 1776, Elizabeth gave birth to another son, Charles, only to lose him soon after (thought to be from a smallpox outbreak). In 1779, Elizabeth gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth Whiting. After her daughter's marriage to Dan Huntington in 1801 and removal to Litchfield, Connecticut, the two women remained in contact with each other through a lively correspondence.
After Elizabeth Porter Phelps' death in 1817, her daughter Elizabeth Whiting Phelps () Huntington moved into the house with her husband Dan Huntington. Betsy kept her own diary, and maintained correspondence with her 11 children. These materials are part of a large collection of family papers on deposit in the Amherst College Library, over 90 linear feet of archival material documenting the family's history over eight generations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://asteria.fivecolleges.edu/findaids/amherst/ma30_main.html )〕
