Seeking information on Maxwell's children. From the 1810 Census, Hagerstown, Maxwell's family was composed of 1 male under 10, 1 male 10 to 15, 1 male 45 and over, 2 females under 10, 1 female 10 to 15, 2 females 16 to 25 and 1 female 26 to 44. ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Richard, The Maryland Herald April 26, 1809 "Peter Troxell, weaver, has taken the house formerly occ by Maxwell WELSH, Schoolmaster, a few doors below the jail." The Maryland Herald August 19, 1812 "Died Monday last in this town, after a short illness, Maxwell WELCH , in his 53rd in his 53rd year, leaving wife and 8 children. His remains were interred in the German Lutheran burying ground." Other early Welch sightings include: On Oct. 10, 1799 the Maryland Herald lists letters remaining at the post office. In that group of people is Jacob Welch, Schoolmaster at Boonsborough. A similar list on Jan. 10, 1799 lists William Welch in care of Samuel Pechtel. There isn't anything in the estate distributions, but you might find something in Orphan's Court or Guardianship Bonds because he left children, some of whom may have been minors. There is also an alternate spelling of WELCK - so the ch may have been pronounced as a k if the name were German (as in Lawrence Welk). If he belonged to the German Lutheran Church, you might have some luck with church records. St. John's Lutheran Church, St. Matthew's Lutehran Church and an Evangelical Lutheran Church were in Hagerstown as well as the union church St. Paul's which was both Lutheran and Reformed. Maybe someone else knows which church has the German Lutheran burying ground. If you find names of children there are quite a few marriages in the index - I could look them up for you.
