Hi, Paul. I have a Vergie D. Welch listed in my family tree, and she married Cicero Mikeal. Is this your family? Fidel Whittington's mother was my great-grandaunt Mary Etta Cheek. I am in touch with one of Mary Etta's grandsons, and he thought that Fidel married a Walsh. That name was probably spelled both ways back in the "old days" by the census takers.

My mother had an aunt that lived in Parsonsville NC years ago named Lillie Parsons. I last seen Lillie when I was about 10 years old. Lillie's husband I think was Frank. She had sons Paul and Silas and I think James. Some of her other kin was Alonzo Welch, (Alonzo's wife Bertha was in a wheelchair.) Ophelia Parsons, Mitch Welch, Wade Welch. My mother was Vergie Welch daughter of Dora Welch. Mother had a sister named Ruby that married Fidel Whittington. I have never been able to find out who my grandfather is. I suppose all the ones that could have told me are dead now? If you knew my mother or any of the people mentioned above, please let me know.
