Bob,
Thank you so much for your efforts.I am still curious about a couple of things.
Do you find any Missouri/Tennesse/Texas Welch families?
Do you find a Serena Welch?
Do you find any Welch marriages that include these surnames:
Crawford; Garrett; Webb; Middlebrook/s; Huey; Monroe; Cavender; Ratliff; Sirmon.

I am even wondering whether Thomas H. WELCH, if actually born abt. 1824, didn't simply leave his three children with his wife Amanda Middlebrook's relatives and move on to marry again and start a new family.He would have only been 31yrs. when he disappeared off our radar.
Thomas and Amanda must have married sometime in 1848. Could have been Limestone County, Navarro County, Robertson County....but so far we have failed to find a marriage license.
The only hint to his possible age and place of birth is the 1850 Robertson County Census which indicates he was 26 years old and born in Missouri. He is enumerated with wife Amanda and son Charles I. WELCH, age lyr.
Thomas paid taxes in Robertson Co.1849 to 1851, skipped 1852.
Paid again in 1853 skipped 1854.
Paid Taxes in Karnes County, 1855.
That is last known of him.
No mention made of wife Amanda since 1850 Census.
Shortly after Amanda died, the children, Charles, Sarah and Harriet went to live with William Mansfield Garrett and wife, Margaret Ann (Byars) Garrett. When Thomas was no longer in the picture and guardianship was asked for, the first to ask was William M. Garrett and supposedly he got it., or was about to.
DISTRICT COURT CASE: Case before the court. Jane C. Galloway filed suit to become the guardian of Charles I. Welsh, and his two siblings, Sarah Jane Welsh and Harriet Calistine Welsh. Filed in District Court Office, Karnes County, Texas Minute Book A, Page 84., Filed April, 1859.
In 1859, Karnes Co.,TX., Grandmother Jane C.(Crawford) MIDDLEBROOK GALLOWAY applied for and was appointed guardian of three minor,surviving children, Charles I. WELCH, Sarah Jane WELCH, Harriett Calistine WELCH.
1860 --Jane C. Galloway paid taxes on the minor Welch children
Thomas and Amanda had three children:
Charles Ibzan WELCH b:7-12-1849, TX.
Sarah Jane WELCH Cavender b:12-15-1851, TX.
Harriet Calistine WELCH Sirmon b:abt1852, TX.
