4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

According to the "Descendants of Richard Card" article, Phoebe Card was the 7th child and 3rd daughter of Job and Judith (Greenman) Card, born in Westerly, Rhode Island[1].  

On November 27, 1751, Elijah married Phoebe Card of South Kingstown in a wedding ceremony performed by Justice Samuel Tefft. Elijah was the son of William Champlin and Joanna --?--, born about 1730 and died before 11 March 1779[1,4].

Elijah and Phoebe had eleven children, all probably born in Charlestown, Rhode Island[1,4]:

1695. Phoebe (born about 1752)
1690. Elijah (born 1756)
1691. Joseph (born  about 1758)
1692. William (born about 1759)
1693. Mary (born about 1760)
1689. Jeffrey (born 1761)
1694. Hannah (born about 1762)
1696. Amey (born about 1764)
1697. Anna (born about 1766)
1698. Elizabeth (born about 1768)
1699. Alice (born about 1770)

The will of Elijah Champlin, written on 14 January 1779 and proved 11 March 1779, bequeathed the remainder of his personal estate to his wife, Phebe Champlin for her support and support of their four youngest daughters[2]:

"And as to the rest of my Personal Estate be it of what kind or nature soever I give and bequeath the same to my well beloved Wife Phebe Champlin as well for the payment of all my Just Debts & Funeral Charges as also for the payment of the Legacies herein bequeathed and for her support & the support and maintenance of my four youngest daughters to wit Hannah, Anna, Elizabeth, & Alice, till they shall respectively be able to support themselves, and after that Time what I have herein given to my wife to remain to her own use forever."

Phebe (Card) Champlin was named an executrix of the estate of Elijah Champlin along with their eldest son, Elijah Champlin[2].  

There is no death date or death place noted in the "Descendants of Richard Card" article.  She probably died after 1779.
