Rex, What are these books? I've never heard of them. Priscilla

I am searching for information on Eli WELCH, born 1812, in SC and his wife, Sarah Ann HUDMAN Welch, born 1819, in Greene County, GA. Eli WELCH and Sarah Ann HUDMAN married on August 28, 1830, in Chambers County, AL. Both Eli and Sarah and many of their descendants lived and are buried in Lafayette County, MS. But there must be descendants still living in Chambers, Lee, and Tallapoosa County, AL. Several WELCH siblings married in Chambers and Tallapoosa County, AL. I do not have much information on this WELCH family in SC and Chambers County, AL during their earlier years before settling in Lafayette County, MS in the mid 1800's. I have a considerable amount of information on some of Eli WELCH and Sarah Ann HUDMAN's descendants, all ten of whom were born in Chambers County, AL between 1839 - 1859. I have been researching for almost two years now and have 685 pages of this WELCH LineAge and would like to add a great deal more. Eli WELCH and Sarah Ann HUDMAN Welch had ten children, six sons and four daughters. All ten children were born in Chambers County, AL between 1839 and 1859. 1 F Mary Elizabeth Ann WELCH, born December 15, 1839-1840, in Chambers County, AL. 2 M William WELCH, born about 1842, in Chambers County, AL. 3 M Thomas WELCH, born about 1844, in Chambers County, AL. 4 M James Howell “Hal” WELCH, Jr., born July 5, 1845, in Chambers County, AL. 5 F Serena Sarah Clementine WELCH, born September 18, 1847, in Chambers County, AL. 6 F Nancy Ann “Annie” Haseltine WELCH, born November 22, 1849, in Chambers County, AL. 7 M Daniel “Dan” Noonal WELCH, born March 29, 1852, in Chambers County, AL. 8 M Mathew Eli WELCH, born February 1854, in Chambers County, AL. 9 F Matilda “Tildie” Ann Evangeline WELCH, born ____, 1855, in Chambers County, AL. 10 M John Nicholas WELCH, born November 27, 1859, in Chambers County, AL. ANY information on this WELCH family would be greatly appreciated. The original spelling of their surname was WELSH. I basically have little information on William WELCH b. 1842, and Thomas WELCH born 1844 and would appreciate if anyone has any information on these two WELCH's. Eli WELCH was born 1812, in SC and has several known siblings, all of whom were born in SC (presumably Chesterfield County). There are many WELCHs born in South Carolina. Eli WELCH and his known siblings are: 1 M Robert WELCH, born 1808, in SC. 2 M Eli WELCH, born in 1812, in SC. 3 M Henry WELCH, born 1813, in SC. 4 M William WELCH, born 1815, in SC. 5 M George Howell WELSH, born December 25, 1816, in SC. (GHW and family continued to use the WelSh spelling and are buried with the WELSH spelling) 6 M John WELCH, born 1817, in SC (may be a cousin). 7 M Nicholas WELCH, born 1817-1818, in SC (may be a cousin). 8 M James Pinkney WELCH, born in 1819, in SC. 9 M James B. WELCH, born 1820, in SC/GA (may be a cousin). 10 F Elizabeth WELCH, born in 1827, in GA (only known sister) (married A. WATERS). Chesterfield County, SC seems to be the most likely county in South Carolina where these WELCHs were born and lived. There were also many WELCHs in Sumter and Lee County, SC. Many of these brothers came from SC to Chambers, Lee and Tallapoosa County, AL. Some went to Butler County, GA. I will be glad to share my information which I am working on daily and is "A Work In Progress." I am going to a Eli WELCH descendants' family reunion on September 5 in Oxford, MS. Hopefully, I will gather a great deal more information while there. I do NOT know the names of Eli's parents nor where they were born and where they died. There is a widowed Mary Welch, about 58-60 years of age, in the Chambers County, AL 1850 Census, but I do not have proof that it is his/their mother. Eli's parents most likely would have been born in the 1780's. The oldest child I have listed is Robert WELCH, born 1808, in SC. I do not know if there were children born before 1808. This should be sufficient information to ascertain if anyone in Chambers County has information on this WELCH family. Again, I would be grateful if anyone has any information they would like to share and I will share in return. Thank you so much in advance for your assistance. God Bless Us Every One - God's Peace Be With YOU. Celebrate Life! Love and Blessings, YYYYY Beverly Brown Hurt
