Notes for JACOB WELDON:
Note: Peggy L. Stewart Gore gives Jacob's date of death as July 31, 1783.
Further notes from Peggy Gore (Dec. 29, 2003):
The Welden/Weldon family migrated across Georgia as soon as land opened from Indian Territory. They were traders who got along so well with the Indians that when a daughter of William Welden married an Indian fighter, she was reportedly disowned and stricken from the family records.
The first Welden from this family in Georgia was Jacob Welden (b. 1720; d. 1779 in Richmond Co., GA; married Catron/Katherine about 1740) who was given grants in St. Paul Parish--later Richmond Co., GA--in 1773. What he actually got seems to be land that he had already been living on and had converted from wilderness into farmland. He and/or his wife were associated with a synagogue there and may have been of Jewish heritage.
