General Notes: Husband - William Welsh, Esq.

---

Washington Co, PA

He served for many years as justice of the peace, and in the family library his docket was long preserved, every entry made in clear, neat and orderly form, and written by a superior penman. The Rev. Dr. Estep, who was widely known as one of the most able clergyman of the Baptist faith, said of William Welsh that he "never met a more logical or clear reasoner" than he.
He died, leaving a widow, eight daughters and two sons.
