The records listed below for John Welsh help to show a possible connection to the Whitsett families, including those of Ralph, James and William, and evidence of a son, John Welsh, Jr. who may have been the only child of Elizabeth and John Sr. The migration of John Welsh from Lebanon Twp., Lancaster Co. to Cumberland, York and Westmoreland Counties mirrors that of the family of Ralph Whitsett. |

Warrant for John Welsh,
Lebanon Township, Lancaster Co., 150 acres. Warrant Register
states the land was patented by heirs of Peter Yetter (name John
Welsh scratched out) February 8, 1785. There is some confusion
here, because the same land based on the same warrant was surveyed
for the heirs of Peter Yetter on January 12, 1785. |

2, [draft labeled John
Welsh Cont'g 8a. 36 ps & allowances; surrounded by tracts for
Robert Cannon, now Jacob Smith and Abraham Thorley said to be Robert
Cannon originally now Samuel Plantz & Andrew Shell]
"A draught of a piece of land situate in Fairview Township formerly Newbury in the County of York Containing as set forth 8a. 36 pcs. & allowances & Surveyed in pursuance of a warrant granted to John Welsh for 50a. Dated the 2nd day of June A.D. 1753. The same land is now owned by Jacob Smith included in a larger tract & no access to any papers could be had & Surveyed the above on the 10th day of April 1833 ..." [This is confusing, the application for the warrant for this land was registered in the book for 1766-69, a few lines above Samuel Whitsit; it appears that maybe the date on the survey return for the warrant should be 1763 vs. 1753] [8, 9] |
