Henrietta Phelps Jeffries (January 5, 1857 in Halifax County, Virginia – August 22, 1926 in Caswell County, North Carolina) was an African American midwife and a founding member of the Macedonia A.M.E. Church located in Milton, North Carolina.〔Piedmont Triad News-Record, "Midwife on Trial," November 19, 1999, p D1.〕 ==Biography== Henrietta Phelps was born the daughter of a slave, Elija "Phelps", and Charlotte Ann Bennett, a midwife.〔http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=caswellcounty&id=I57926〕 Henrietta was the oldest daughter in a family of 7 children. She grew up in her family home with her parents until her first marriage to George Lawson of Milton, North Carolina, on January 21, 1872, at the age of 15. The marriage produced a son, George, Jr. Henrietta was widowed by age 22.〔http://pages.suddenlink.net/phelpsdna/Southern_Phelps_Research/NorthCarolina/Henrietta%20Phelps%20Jeffries%20Article.pdf〕 She subsequently married Allen Henderson Jeffries, a tobacco farmer of Caswell County in Leasburg, North Carolina, on July 30, 1881. Henrietta had 11 children with Allen Jeffries, and was mother to 18 children total.〔Piedmont Triad News-Record, "Midwife on Trial," November 19, 1999, p D1.〕 The family resided in Milton, North Carolina. Henrietta was literate, able to read, and listed the nature of her occupation as "doctress", working on her own account as a "midwife", according to the 1910 U.S. Census.〔1910 United States Federal Census Record for "Heriette Jeffreys", Caswell and Semora Counties, District 0025.〕 She is recorded having birthed "hundreds of children, both black and white"〔Piedmont Triad News-Record, "Midwife on Trial," November 19, 1999, p D1.〕 throughout Caswell County, North Carolina. It appears that Henrietta learned midwifery from her mother, who was also a midwife.〔http://pages.suddenlink.net/phelpsdna/Southern_Phelps_Research/NorthCarolina/Henrietta%20Phelps%20Jeffries%20Article.pdf〕 Henrietta Phelps Lawson Jeffries died August 22, 1926. She is buried at Macedonia A.M.E. Church on Yarborough Road in Milton, North Carolina.
