From the Welty family tree by Mary Ann Atencio:
"After her husband's death in 1824, Barbara, her five children and herg randson, Joseph Wallace moved to Howard County, Indiana. It isbelieve d this happened between 1846 and 1848. In a "History of theWallace Fa mily" by Harold Prickett, reference is made to the factthat Susanna We lty purchased 80 acres of land in Howard County andwas living with her m other, Barbara, and her son Joseph next door tothe farm of her brother , John Welty. The
1850 census for Howard County shows Samuel and Nancy (Welty) Whisler,A . Robert Hall and Magdalena (Welty) Hall along with John andSusannah S pencer Welty, and Barbara and her daughter Susannah Welty,along with h er son Joseph Wallace all living in Taylor Township alongwith Samuel B eighler and his family (son of Magdalena Welty Beighler)Also in Taylo r Township was the family of Susannah Spencer Welty.Peter Welty and hi s wife Mary Schnellbacher were living in CenterTownship, adjacent to T aylor Township.
Barbara is buried in Upper Kokomo cemetery, Taylor Township at theinte rsection of 200S and 400E of Howard County, Indiana. BirdieJordan vis ited the cemetery in 1987 and said, "There are 13 membersof the Whisle r, Welty, Wallace and Good families in this smallcemetery. This abando ned cemetery was adjacent to a "New Light" logchurch many years ago. I w as in Whistler for the purpose of doingsome research on the Welty fami ly and to pull
courthouse records, but the day before I arrived the courthouse wassev erely damaged by a bomb and it was closed. Two months later I wasable t o go back and pull some records, but not extensively. At thattime I p laced artificial flowers on the graves of Nancy, Barbara andSusanna. I h ad complained to the city of Kokomo about the cemeterybeing a public d ump. when I returned in June it was clean. Thereare many broken head stones, so there may be more members of thefamilies than I could see. T here was a listing of the graves in thiscemetery in the Kokomo library , but I found that many errors hadbeen made in the listing, so
cannot vouch for it's authenticity."
