Thanks Pat I'm pretty sure that my Ketchum's came to TX from IL by 1850. C.V. Ketchum's obit said he came to LC with his parents (plural). I have looked for years for info of his mother, wife of Peter K.

Brad Something about your Ketchum name keeps me wondering. This Hiram Walker died in 1888 Madison Co TX , if this is the same group of Ketchum families maybe you can find some of them in Walker Co TX Also in your tag line I see the Ketchum family came from VA to IL to TX. The group of families that came to TX after 1850 census was 3 Wilson bros. that have ties to the Anglin family which go back to Lee Co VA. some of this Anglin group were in Edgar Co IL in 1830. They were all big Primitive Baptists. As I search my IL info now I will keep my eye out for your Ketchum name. I am planning to do some heavy IL work in the next few weeks on some of my lines. I placed your family in the LCT data base with your name & email address behind them so if I find anything I can get in touch with you.

Edward married Mary Reasor, daughter of Peter Reasor, about 1791. (1) Property - [date: 1800] [place: Wythe Co, VA] 90 acres on headwater of S. Fork of Holston River Page 536 --(1800) Edward Catchem to Peter Tarter. 90 acres on headwaters of S. Fk. of Holston adjacent to Wisman, Catchem, & Dougherty. Wit: John Griffits, Christian Reoser (Razor), Nathional Morgan, 200pounds. (2) Early Setlers of Lee co., VA., Vol. 2 p. 593. Mary Reasor married Edward Ketchum. -------------- Peter Razor (Reasor?) Ketchum, son of Edward, is mentioned in the Blount County Alabama Court - Final Record - Feb. 18, 1825, Page 54 - Peter Ketchum vs. Vestal Beeson (no further information). Later that year Peter Razor Ketchum married Ann Burrell in Blount Co. on Oct. 12, 1825. No other information available about this union has been found. Peter R. lived in Caldwell County, TX died there Apr 6, 1868. ------------ Green Berry Ketchum, son of Peter, came to Texas about 1848 from Christian Co., IL with father & two brothers (Peter Jr. and Chester VanBuren) and their families. Brother James had arrived in Texas in 1846 and uncle Jacob arrived earlier, later living in Fannin County after receiving a land grand for fighting for Tx Independence from Mexico. Green Berry Ketchum was the County Coroner in Christian County, Illinois before he came to Texas. He married Temperance Katherine Wydick in Macon County, Illinois (which later became a part of Christian County). Eventually settled 5 miles west of San Saba, TX where Richland Creek meets the San Saba River and "a few miles above the mouth of the creek". Both brothers James and Peter, Jr. were killed by indians, at different times, after arriving in Texas - James near San Angelo and Peter Jr. in Medina Co. --------- Two sons of Green Berry Ketchum were Thomas Edward (Tom) and Samuel Wesley (Sam) Ketchum. They were the principals in the Black Jack Ketchum gang in the late 1800s in TX, AZ and NM. Sam was my great grandfather. He was shot (along with another of the gang) by a posse after a train holdup near Folsom, NM and died 2 weeks later in Santa Fe Territorial Prision. The sheriff and two other deputies were also shot. Brother Tom was shot 5 weeks later trying to rob the same train, at the same locaton, alone, for some reason? He was hung in Clayton, NM after having his arm amputated from the gunshot wound and being tried for "felonious assault on a train" which law was later repealed, but too late for Tom.
