Abraham (Abel) Welch 1807
I am researching Abraham Welch.Records that I have located refer to him also as "Abram" and "Abel".Married Anna Bowman and is the father of Aaron Welch.I am trying to find documentation of Abraham's birth and his parents.The census consistently lists Abraham's birth place in Illinois.He married Anna Bowman in 1832 in Indiana.Aaron Welch was born in Indiana.
A few people have Abraham's father listed as James Welch, but do not have a source to document the relationship.A few also list Abraham as being born in Ireland, but do not have a source to document the birth.
I have reliable records for the name(s) and relationship to Aaron Welch.
There is conflicting information about the death of Abraham.He is noted on find a grave as being buried in Union County, South Dakota in 1875.He is on the census living with his daughter in Wisconsin in 1880.I have confirmed with the courts in South Dakota that there is no record that he is buried in South Dakota and the error is in the find a grave listing.
Any assistance in locating a record of the birth and the parents of Abraham would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!
