There's a question as to whether Phebe was a Leonard or a Hedges orwhether Moses' wife was Eunice Fatout. This is treated at length byVirginia C. Jansen, 22 Feb 2002, HISt314 WSU/TC (Chapter 20. LeonardAncestry of the Jansen Daughters). She makes the case for Phebe being aLeonard, although she would have been a first cousin and first cousinmarriages were rare and frounded upon, which may explain why neither themarriage nor the baptisms of their 10 children are recorded in theHanover church records.
