Philip Welch

Hi Jennifer, unfortunately there are no records in Ireland going back this far in time, were you able to find out about his life in the United States?

Wikipedia has some good sources and references (on the bottom of the page)  on the subject you might find something interesting there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentured_servant

Thank you Susan.  I am a descendant of Moses.
