Can anyone (please) help confirm and connect this possible Welton family? Mary B. Welton Beers, b. VT 1802; per 1880 census, her father was b. VT and mother b. NJ. She married John Beers before 1828, when son William Henry was born 28 Nov 1828 at Blossburg, Tioga Co., PA. They were at Southport, Tioga Co., NY in 1830 with William Henry, and still at Southport, now Chemung Co., NY in 1840 with William Henry, Angeline and Silas H. Elias P., 1830-1838, didn't live long enough to be recorded in a federal census, but seems to be included in the 1835 NYS census, when John Beers was apparently confused with his cousin, John N. Beers. (John is not indexed in 1840, but is found listed right after John N.) Mary B. was widowed before the 1850 census, when she was at Dryden, Tompkins County, NY, with three children: Angeline, b. 1832/33; "Sarah" who was actually Silas H., b. 1838/39, at [Southport] Chemung Co., NY, and Candace, b. 1844/45, probably at Steuben Co., NY. In the 1855 NYS census, she was at Schuyler Co., NY (where William Henry died in 1853) with Silas and Candace and this is where their birth places come from. In 1860, although again not indexed, she was a seamstress at Wells Twp, Bradford Co., PA (Edsallville post office), with Silas, Candace (now as Catherine) and James, b. 1847/48 in NY (and a total mystery, never to be seen again - as was Angeline, although she is apparently listed in the 1840 census). In 1870, Mary Beers is living with Silas and his family at East Charleston, Tioga Co., PA, and in 1880, what could be the same location is now Duncan, Tioga Co., PA. She died 8 Jul 1889 at Antrim, Tioga Co., PA, according to an obituary published in the Wellsboro Gazette on 18 Jul 1889. Ch named William Henry, Angeline, Elias P., Silas H. and Candace C. Lester Welton, b. VT, 1802/03, was found only at Chatham, Tioga Co., PA in 1850 census (p.163). Lester was a sawyer, his wife was Sally and their children were named Charles (or poss. brother?, age 28, laborer), Andrew, Helen, Harriet, Otis, Daniel and Holmes. Mary B. Welton Beers found at Wells Twp, Bradford Co., PA in 1860 and East Charleston, Tioga Co., PA in 1870 (with son Silas and his family) but this is also where the Beers family was located; they were all carpenters, wheelwrights, carriage-builders and sawyers. Sallie Welton/Wilton b 1803 NY, father b CT mother b NJ per 1880 census. She married William A. Carr. At one time they resided in Southport as one of their sons was born there. Also possible connection in Wells Township, Bradford Co., PA: James and Calvin Carr early 1830's. Sallie and William move to Scipo, Hillsdale County, MI about 1845. Mary B. Welton Beers was also b. NY at least once; her parents were b. CT and NJ in 1880. She was at Southport in 1830 and 1840. Hezekiah B. Welton, b. 1804/05 at VT, was at Groton, Tompkins Co., NY in 1850. Hezekiah was a shoemaker, his wife was Sophia (b.1805/06) and their children were Walter, Aimee and Mary. (Walter - and Aimee? - may have been ch of a first wife because three Benjamin children fill the age gap between Walter and Aimee). He may also be the Hezekiah B. Welton at Sheldon, Genesee Co., NY in 1830 (p.283), b. 1800-1810 with wife b. 1800-1810 and one daughter, b.1825-1830. Mary B. Welton Beers was found in the 1850 census at Groton; H. B. Welton was a witness at the marriage of one of Sallie Welton Carr's sons in 1851, but he could have been a cousin unless there were first cousins of the same name born at about the same time (see below). A possible father for these possible siblings would be: 1820: Silas Welton at Dryden, Tompkins Co., p. 24 (could not find him but name and location could be important! Ancestry.com census images all snafu for this twp in 1820 census; on Tompkins Co. NYGenWeb site, the name in the 1820 census is Elias - which could as easily have been transcribed wrong as Silas was indexed wrong - and he headed a family of: 1 male under 10, b. 1810-1820 3 males 10-15, b. 1805-1810 1 male 16-25, b. 1795-1804 (but not 1802-1804) 1 male 45+, b. bef 1776 2 fem under 10, b. 1810-1820 1 fem 10-15, b. 1805-1810 1 fem 16-25, b. 1795-1804 1 fem 26-44, b. 1776-1794 and if his name was Elias, that could be Elias Welton, b. 18 Jul 1776 at New Haven, New Haven Co, CT, the son of Nathaniel Welton and Martha Tuttle; but there seems to be no further information about Elias or his siblings: Sarah, Hezekiah (b. 1766), Uri (b. 1768), Nathaniel (b.1770), Jarvis (b. 1772), Allen (b. 1774), all at New Haven.. Unless that Hezekiah is the one at Sheldon, Genesee Co., NY in 1840, p. 188, indexed as "Hesikiah Wilton":1 m b. 1761-1770, 1 f b. 1801-1810; with Jarvis Welton (prob son, b. 1791-1800, not brother) next door. Chancey Welton (b. 1811-1820) was also at Sheldon, p. 223. By 1850, Chancey seems to be at E. Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., OH, p. 315: [Chancey Welton, 30, Laborer, b. NY; Eliza, 28, b. MA, Mortimer G., 12, b. NY, Daniel, 10, b. NY and Ashley (m), 2, b. OH.] A Uri Wilton was at Pickaway Co., OH in 1810 (no details available), while Nathaniel Welton seems to have stayed at New Haven Co., CT 1800-1820 and Allen Welton is found only in 1800 at Litchfield Co, CT (10110-20010-00).
