Joanne, Hello! > Jay - We also have Kittles in our line - in our genealogy the name is spelled > Kettle. +++ Do you have that picture of Ma and Pa Kettle? Sorry, I could not help myself. Strange sense of humore. +++ I have only two Kittles (and no Kettles) in my Database: Abraham KITTLE Sr. and John S. Kittle. > The info I have is that Abraham Kittle and Christina Westfall emigrated from > New Jersey Colony to the south branch of the Potomac. From there they moved to > the Tygart River Valley near Beverly, Randolph Co., VA. +++ Do you have any info that would suggest about when they did this?  Do you know if Abraham was actually born in New Jersey?  Were they married there?  I have their marriage date as 30 Aug 1754. > Their son George b. 14 July, 1774 is the father of Gehannah (Johanna) Kittle > b. 25 Dec. 1797 who married James Gibbens, my husbands direct ancestor - I > have some additional information contained in a family genealogy  written in > 1894 - not sure how accurate it is - but willing to share if you like >> Did the Westfalls and Cutrights (were they the Kortrechts?) come to WVA >> with the Kittles from New York? I am related to the Kittles and am related to >> the others through Abraham Kittle. I believe the Kittles were originally from Denmark. (Von >> Ketel). Best wishes, +++ Do you have indications that they were Dutch or Danish and lived in the Ny and NJ Dutch Colonies? Jay
