William TheriaultWV GeoHistory
Published thorough research on the history of the Bakerton area and many of its prominent families, including the Welsh and Flanagan clans. His research has added detailed insight into the lives of our ancestors.

William Bauman C&O Canal Association
Conducted extensive research on the Welsh and Flanagan families and their relationship with the canal, as well as the Bakerton area limestone industry, authoring an extensive report on his findings.
