Amity Welch b abt 1784
I'm trying to track down the parents of Amity Welch/Welsh/Walsh b. 15 Nov 1784 in NJ. Her husband was James Johnstun b. 17 May 1784 in NJ. James Johnstun's parents were James Johnstun & Margaret Kinney.
Amity Welch eight children that I know of. Two children were given the middle name of Walker, and two more the middle name of Kinney.
Rebecca Walker Johnstun b. 9 Aug 1813, & her brother Jesse Walker Johnstun b. 21 Jan 1820. Since two of the children had "Walker" as the middle name, I am curious as to whether that was the last name of their maternal grandmother. She would have married a man with the last name of Welch/Welsh/Walsh. Has anyone ran across something like this?
Two other siblings in the family have the middle name of Kinney, Mary Kinney Johnstun & Hannah Kinney Johnstun. The paternal grandmother's last name was Kinney.
I'm just following a hunch, but who knows where it will lead? Anyone have any ideas?
