The Welsh family are of English origin, having moved from England to Germany at an early date, but for several generations were residents of Germany. His great-grandfather came from that country to America in 1732, and settled in York County, Pennsylvania. His son Henry, was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary war. In 1779 he (Henry Welsh) was tax collector of the Heidelberg District, York County, Pennsylvania.

He was a hatter by trade, and carried on business for many years at Waynesboro, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. His family consisted of eight children, six living in 1887.
