I'm not sure - there were some Welch's in our line living in Monroe - descended from Warren Welch. I also know there were Welch relatives in Alexandria and around there. Warren Welch livied in St. Francisville. His first wife died and was buried there and their children were 'fostered' out. I'm not sure that they were ever all reunited - although Dr. Jacob Perry Welch did reunite with his father Warren. In any event, if you learn of any other names farther back - please let me know. I am going to keep your email in case I can establish a connection later on. Teri Welch
