This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BRITTON, COLE, WELCH Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.jefferson/12424.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi, I think the Charles Welch you're talking about is the same one who married my ancestor's sister Eunice Cole, daughter of Moses Cole Jr. and Isabel Nelson. Eunice's sister Diadema Cole married Otis Britton and they were my grt-grt-grt-grt-granparents. Otis Britton and Charles Welch chopped a road from Brownville to the ferry at Chaumont very early in the settlement of the region. You can see all of the details I have on Charles Welch by reading these pages: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~legends/cole.html http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~legends/britton.html I'd be interested in any details or photographs you may have to share as well. I hope this helps, Mark Wentling
