Hi Listers, I am new to the list and would like to find someone who is researching the WELCH and DURGIN families. Benjamin and Thankful DURGIN WELCH were probably the parents of my ancestor Martha (Patty) Welch who was born in 1791 in Franklin County, most likely in the town of Franklin. Martha married Samuel Eldridge in Brome County, Quebec, when she was fourteen years old. I'm thinking that this means Benjamin Welch moved there from Franklin. Does this family ring a bell with anyone? Thanks, Janet Hobbs Johnson
