Estelle and list: I now have recorded a William or William Welcome LAW or LAWS born from four generations in direct descendancy. The first in 1690 (Scotland), then 1718 (Henrico County VA), then 1756, and finally 1788. All are in the same lineage ie. each was a son to the William before him. Also, regarding " William Welcome sister ANN married John LOVELACE", I show Lovelace as being a William also . Should he be a John or a William? Comments? Guidance?
