Looking for my KETCHUM FAMILY (Ketcham/Catcham/Catchum/Catchim)lived in the South side of the South Fork of the Holston River area in mid to late 1700s. There was Edward, Jesse, James, Hugh, Joseph and probably others. NOTE: Ketchum Branch (creek) runs into S. Fork of Holston River about 3 miles East Northeast of Lodi about a half mile north of Buck Bridge. (see USGS Konnarock Topo quad map)at http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=36.70289&lon=-81.73234&datum=nad83&u=4&layer=DRG&size=l&s=50 This same USGS map shows a Ketchum Cemetery in the same location, about a mile east of the S. Fork of the Holston River and a mile south of Rush Creek. This location is about 2-3 miles east southeast of Lodi and about a mile west of a "Masada" Church, and a quarter mile or less north of Ketchum Branch. This is almost certainly where some of these Ketchum/Catchum kin are buried, but I have never been able to find any information at all about this Ketchum cemetery.
