General Thomas Welsh Family Papers
Title
Reminiscence of Mary Young Welsh as told to Emilie Benson Welsh
Description
Various notes of and about the Welsh family recorded by Emilie Benson Welsh, wife of Blanton Welsh, as told to her by Mary Young Welsh, sister of Blanton Welsh as they sat on the piazza at 552 Chestnut St., Columbia, Pa. Discusses ancestory of the family, military record of Thomas Welsh, and his horse, "Jerry." Note: The top part of page one appears to be in the hand of Blanton C. Welsh; remainder of writing appears to be in a different hand, presumably that of Emilie Benson Welsh.
Admin/Biographical History
Thomas Welsh (1824-1863) was a Lancaster County native (born and raised in Columbia), who rose from hardscrabble origins to local fame, first as a Mexican War hero, and then as a brigadier general during the Civil War. He was well known and well respected as a no nonsense officer, for his leadership and gallantry in battle, for his dedication to the service of his country, and for his concern for the welfare of his men. See MG0828 for more biographical information.
