IF ANY OF THESE NAMES ARE FAMILIAR, POST THEM AND I WILL SEE IF I FIND THEM IN CEMETERY RECORDS.

Thank you for responding so quickly to my message. I will review the list of names and get back with you. I do know that Joseph WELKER is my great grandfather....my grandfather being BRUCE.

I never met my grandfather (Bruce) so I don't know much if anything about my father's side of the family. My father was OSCAR WELKER.

I was able to obtain Bruce Welker's obit through my local library and the Vigo County Library. I found through the obituary that he is buried at Clearview Cemetery in Brazil, Indiana. I made a trip to the cemetery, but was unable to find exactly where he was buried. I thought I would try writing the cemetery to obtain the location of his grave site so I could get some pictures of the marker (if one was put there).

My grandmother was Lillie Belle Harrison, the daughter of Benjamin Franklin Harrison, Jr. She is buried at Hall Cemetery in Universal, Indiana.

I did find in your listings a Frank Harrison (Benjamin was omitted from name) married to a Sophia Hines Harrison (Mary was omitted from name). The names of the children was spelled incorrectly according to some information that I was able to obtain very recently.

This is basically the extent of my knowledge of my family on my father's side. Thanking you once again for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

Hi Pat,
Can you give a little more info. I am descended from Wm. H. Hedges and have Welkers in several family lines. (Hedges and Webster). You can email me privately and tell me what exactly you are looking for.

Check out this website, Pat. You can email Michelle. She has a lot of info about the Welkers. I have info on the Hedges.

http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Park/2447/mainpage.html

Joseph Welker and Mary Walton had the following children: Charles Edward (Charley) born 1858 in Ohio ~married Clara I. Hedges 1882 Indiana.
Nancy A. born 1860 in Kentucy ~married Andrew J. Foltz 1882 Indiana.
John born 1861 in Indiana ~married Nettie M. Hedges 1884 & Olive Belle Hedges 1900. Both marriages occured in Indiana.
James William born 1862 in Indiana ~married Julia Ettie Tosser in 1886 Indiana.
Carrie born 1864 -1897
Harriet born 1867- 1883
Frank born 1868
Matilda (Tillie) born 1870
Maggie M. (Margaret) born 1873
Emma Jane born 1876 ~married Ernest Hedges
Bruce born 1879
Katie (twin) born 1883 ~married Maynard Hedges
George (twin) born 1883-1959

Thanks, I check the web site out. I appreciate your help.

Jan, I don't think I have your e-mail address.

Do you know if you have a Sophia Welker in your Welker family from Penn?She was born I believe in the 1830's,,she moved to Ohio and married a David A.Moore in Findlay,Ohio ,,Hancock Co in 1851,,I am trying to find out where in Penn she was born and who her parents and siblings were,David A.Moore was also born in Penn somewhere.
Thanks

Hi Pat, I am a direct descendant of Rosa Dell Harrison, Lillie Bell's twin sister. I have alot of information on the Harrisons and some on the Welkers. I'd be happy to share with you what I have. Best wishes,
