Biography

Note

Although the Welch Family Bible names David Welch's wife as Hannah, she may not be a Lowrance/Lawrence, as I have as yet found no evidence of such a daughter among the records associated with John Lawrence/Lowrance. Although I found a DNA match with one of John's descendants, this match is much better explained by another, better documented, link I found with Debra & Craig Jackson, with their ancestor Nancy Jane Welch (1792-1850), as daughter of Ephraim Welch Sr. (1773 - 1835) and Sarah Elizabeth (Miller) Welch (1770 - 1835), our common ancestors. The relation of the Jackson family to John Lowrance is much better established. -- Kent Creamer

Appear to be unrelated to this Hannah Lowrance

The following Ancestry sources are for a Hannah Lowrance christened 21 Dec 1740 in Hexham, Northumberland, England and a Hannah Welch who arrived 1771 in Virginia. However, as her parents appear to have been born in America, and her grandparents in Germany (as Lorentz), these are unlikely to have any relation to this Hannah Lowrance.:
