Am looking for information on the wife of Thomas Welch, Mary, buried in the
Welch/Whitesel/Conklin Cemetery near Union City, Indiana. She died August 19, 1851 in
Randolph County, Wayne Township. Is there any possibility there was an obituary notice
either published or in the Randolph County Historical Museum in Winchester? Census
records found the family in Ohio before then and the History of Randolph County indicates
that the family came to Union City in 1837 with their son, William. The family settled
there and William married Elizabeth Whitesell and had 10 children. Rex Bartram researched
Ohio for me and found a deed for Greene County, the Town of Bellbrook from 1830 (purchase)
and 1836 (sale) and Mary is mentioned but no maiden name or additional information.
Anyone have any clues or suggestions on how to find out more history on her?
