I'm at a dead end, looking for Welcom(e) Ashley, and now I am wondering, is there another name besides William that Welcom(e) could have come from or derived from? Has anyone come in contact with anyone with this as a Surname or given name in and aroung the VA,KY, TN, NC area. Any idea as to why someone would name a 4th child "Welcom"? Would appreciate hearing from anyone with an idea. As I said I am stuck with this in 1801, supposedly. TIA Babe in Fl babe4@ix.netcom.com
