About the year 1806 or 1807, Nathaniel Welch 1754---1832 and wife Lura Dickinson Welch 1764---1851 with some of their children came over the Green Mountains from Vermont into an unsettled portion of Pennsylvania making the journey in an ox sled, they located in what is now Sullivan Township.

In this record Mrs. Seymour gives the names of the children of Nathaniel Welch and Lura Dickinson Welch as follows:

Nathaniel 2nd Married ______________
Sallie Married Mr. Fairchild
Samuel Married Hannah Doyen
Elijah Married Charlott Spencer and_________ Spencer
Leonard Married _________ Bryant
Harry Married Nabby Harding and Betsy Rude
Jefferson Married
Sophia Married John King
Mary Married Sylvester Bailey

Mrs. Seymour has also given in her record the names of the brothers and sisters of Nathaniel 1st but, little is known at the present time of any of them excepting, Harriet who married Forest Ashley.

In the year 1891 the decendants of that worthy couple decided to have a family reunion which was held the following year 1892 at the home of Nelson Welch, that place being the old homestead of Mr. Welch's father Harry Welch, situated in Sullivan Township.

It was not until 1924 that a registration of names of those attending the reunions was taken, and in looking over the names for the past five years we find those attending were mostly decendants of four sons of those pioneers. Nathaniel 2nd, Samuel 1st, Elijah and Harry with some of the Ashley branch of the Welch Family.

This year the secretary has endeavored to arrange the names by families giving in the margin at the left of page a genealogy back to the first Nathaniel Welch.
