The Welch Family
Breathnach — “Welshman or foreigner (from the Irish 'Breathnach')”
County Wexford1851
Thomas Welch arrived in 1851 as one of the first Irish settlers after John Cowman. He became an original trustee of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, alongside John Cahalan, John Hogan, and Nicholas Roach. The Welch family donated land for St. John the Baptist Cemetery, consecrated in 1884. The Welch name is deeply embedded in the institutional foundations of Irish Hubbardston — church, cemetery, and community governance.
