J. Munsell, Albany
WELCH, DANIEL, from Norwich, Conn., 1768, was one of
the earliest settlers in town. He settled on the present Town Farm. He was a
wide-awake thorough-going man, and was familiarly called "Governor"
Welch. He was m. four times: first to Polly Bryant; next to Catharine Risden, in
1788; next to Return Strong’s widow in 1813; next to Widow Kent, of Dorset.
His numerous family of children are all dead or have left town, and he has few
descendants left here. In 1822 he removed to Mendon, N.Y., where he died in
1827, aged 81.
