Connie, I am afraid I can't help you with William Dallas Welch. My line is from Rev. Thomas A. Welsh. He had 4 sons, but none named William. His only brother died in infancy. T.A. did have an uncle, Crawford Welsh/Welch, who lived in Belmont/Harris county. I don't know if he had a son named Timothy or not. A Rita Hayes was looking for information on Timothy a couple years ago when I first started. I can give you some information on him if you want. BTW, I want to thank you for the newspaper articles you have posted on the Meigs list......they gave me several valuable leads to my "missing" ggg grandmother.
