(The only source for his name is the obituary for his son, Milton. I could not find the family in the 1850 census, and it's possible Johnson died before 1850.) Florella Odell was born abt. 1811 in New Hampshire. The family lived in the same area on White Hill, near Hopkinton and Parishville, in Saint Lawrence County, New York from at least 1860, but probably lived there by 1842, when their first son was born. Their children were: Milton A Welch, born Oct 29, 1842 in Hopkinton, according to his obituary. He never married. Charles Newton Welch, born Sept 1843 in Hopkinton. He also never married. The two lived and farmed together on White Hill, and had a cabin on Joe Indian Lake. They were both members of the Odd Fellows. Augusta Abby Welch, born about 1848, married Robert James "R.J." Robson, and had two children: Walter Alexander Robson b. 1888, and Clara b. 1890. Augusta died in 1891. According to the obituaries of the two "Welch Boys", they and their mother are all buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in Parishville. But mentions a "family plot", so there should hopefully be more buried with them. I'm looking for any information on Johnson Welch or Florella Odell, or any tombstone photos or indexes available for Hillcrest cemetery.
