Austin WELCH and his wife Margaret MELIA, brother-in-law Michael ENGLISH, his wife Honora [Hannah] MELIA, and their families came to America from Ireland in 1851. They first settled in Marcellus, Onondaga County New York.
Austin was in Jones County by 12 May 1868 when he bought the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 Sec. 25 and the SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 Sec. 24 of Township 85 and the S 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Sec. 24 Township 85 Range 1.
Austin's children were Gregory WELCH, John B. WELCH, Michael WELCH, Thomas WELCH,Bridget WELCH, Austin WELCH, Henry WELCH, Patrick WELCH, Martin WELCH, Maggie WELCH and Mary WELCH.
Austin and his wife, and Michael ENGLISH'S family were all buried at St. Peter's, Temple Hill, Cascades Iowa.
Gregory WELCH remained in Onondaga Co., New York. John B. WELCH lived in Connecticut, and then in Columbia, Boone Co. MO where he established the Welch Military Academy. Michael WELCH moved from Iowa to Stanberry, Gentry Co. MO. I do not know the history of Austin WELCH Jr. Henry WELCH moved from Jones Co.to Stanberry, Gentry Co. Mo around 1901 with his wife Mary Ellen READE. Patrick WELCH and wife Susie MORAN moved to Montana and later to Spokane WA, where he was very successful in buying land for the railroad. Martin WELCH also moved west and worked for the railroad. Maggie WELCH married Samuel LINDSEY.
One daughter married Francis DUKE, and another daughter married Stephen K. MANNING and moved to Superior Wisconsin.I would like to hear from descendants of the above named children of Austin Welch. I would also like to hear from descendants of Michael English.
