Hello, Looking for any obit or mention of Jacob & Martha Welshons' passing in Westmoreland or Fayette counties. Both buried in the Truxal [Troxal, Troxel, Drachsel] Private Cemetery*. It is but a few feet of ground enclosed with a paling fence, and is but a few yards from route 981 leading from Mount Pleasant to Pleasant Unity. It is situated on the original farm owned by Abraham Drachsel [Troxal, Troxel]. Jacob Welshons b. 1 Nov 1784 d. 26 April 1871; Mt. Pleasant/East Huntingdon *buried Row 2 #7. Martha Welshons b. 1787 d. 11 July 1851; Mt. Pleasant/East Huntingdon *buried Row 3 #5. Thank you in advance, Todd Gilman
I found Jacob and Martha in Bullskin Twp., Fayette County in 1850. (p. 445) Jacob is 63 and Martha is 62. They are living with the family of John and Catherine Smith. John Smith is a shoemaker. Is John a son in law? The Chestnut Ridge Historical Society has some Traugh Family information-what exactly are you looking for? Do you know what church the Welshons were affiliated with? There might be some information there. Also the DAR genealogical library in Mt. Pleasant may be able to help. Here is a link. http://www.mtpleasantpa.com/dart.html Dawne ----- Original Message ----- From: "todd gilman" <wetzebra@netgate.net> To: <PAWESTMO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 1:34 AM Subject: [PAWESTMO-L] Death info on Jacob & Martha Welshons > Hello, > > Looking for any obit or mention of Jacob & Martha Welshons' passing in > Westmoreland or Fayette counties.
