I saw the post on the Welch family and am wondering if we could be talking about the same Welch line. My Welch's were Samuel Hanson Welch m. Eliza Adeline Shetter(aka Adaline E. Shetter) abt 1880 possibly in Sangamon Co. IL. They later moved several times, but ended up in Missouri where Samuel died in 1943 and Adeline moved to California to be with her family. Any connection? Linda
