Hi Kim,

I have replied several times to this thread and you are obviously not receiving them.

If you receive this one, PLEASE, send me a phone number reversed, email address reversed, husband's name so I can do a directory search, etc to: bob_elliker@usa.net or belliker@gmail.com or bobg0252@gmail.com I'm asking for response outside of Ancestry as I've had all kinds of difficulty with their communications.

I really would like to visit about KETTERINGS. I'm sorry to hear about Betty passing away, I had talked to her several times, got nice letters from her especially at Christmas. I'm also curious about this castle in England. Hadn't heard about it before. Tell me more!

Have a great day!

I ama descended from Henry Kettering and wife Susanah Sluss through their daughter, Julia Ann, who married James Preston Coleman(Coalman)about 1835. I keep on seeing that Susanah was a survivor of "the massacur" and never see any one say what that is all about. Do you have any info? James is buried in Hayesville NC (Clay Co) Methodist Church cemetery and Julia came to Texas with her younger children and is buried in Shannon (CLay Co) Texas in the towns cemetery. Her youngest child, Nebraska America Coleman Matheson, is my great grandmother.

Re: Adventures Of Kettenring Family in America

cc_grise — 2010-09-12 19:30:52Z

On page 1310: "SLUSS, SUSANAH married Henry Kettenring." (no other information)
Page 818: "KETTENRING, HENRY, May 19, 1775-Mar.18,1854. Born at Wytheville, Va. Died at Sullivan Co., Tenn. Son of Johann Michael Kettenring. Married Susanah Sluss...". The entry lists 16 children, including Joseph. The first four born before 1804 are listed with a last name of Kettenring, the rest with the last name Cattron.

Re: Adventures Of Kettenring Family in America

clcomer — 2010-07-30 21:02:47Z

Louis, I am interested in the book. I realize you posted this 10 yrs ago,however I started researching my family and we recieved a letter from Henry Cantron back in 1966 about buying this book for $25. I hear there are two books now and I am sure its more than $25 if you can give me any information on this I would appreciate it. Is there info on Henry Ketron who married Susannah Sluss and there son Joseph who marries Elizabeth Cookenour to Sarah ann b 1844 d1923 marries David J. Hobbs Thanks again for your time. Cathy

joanne15722 — 2010-03-08 04:58:11Z

Bob,

My great grandmother is Laura Catron. If this is the Kettering book I saw as a kid I was one of the very last listed in it- Joanne Johnson. I don't have a copy but would love to buy one.

Re: kettering

cc_grise — 2010-02-14 20:57:31Z

I have the 1978 edition of the book, which is over 1500 pages. I'm not sure if there is a later edition or not. The front page has the following: "Compiled and Published by Henry Hardy Catron, Springfield, Illinois" and "Lithoprinted U.S.A., Unigraphic, Inc. Evansville, Indiana 47711 1978". Mr. Catron was born in 1907, so it is unlikely that he is still living. Good luck.

I do not know. I don't even remember what I paid years ago. Sorry.

Re: Kettering Book by Catron

redsuzy — 2010-02-11 15:50:02Z

how much would the book cost?

Re: Kettering Book by Catron

belliker — 2010-02-10 11:37:13Z

Their web site is http://www.higginsonbooks.com/ and there's contact information there. Order the book and pay for it, they will print and send it to you. They have lots of other surname books available in digitized formats also.

I have not been able to make connection with any CATRONs. My in laws are descended from Michael Kettering b.1788 in PA and that's a dead end for me. I have not been able to connect with thousands of others in the book.

Have a great day!

Re: kettering

BMordy — 2010-02-10 00:14:28Z

I got the book a number of years ago and don't recall how exactly I ordered it. I think it was from the woman that did the reprint. There are thousands of names if you give me a few names and date I will look see if they are there.
I am related throught my gandmother to the Ketterings.

Re: Kettering Book by Catron

redsuzy — 2010-02-09 13:55:37Z

could you please explain to me how you went about gettint the kettering book "printed on demand"
meaning they would prinnt you a copy if you placed an order or printed online if you contacted the publisher
are you reLATED TO tn CATRONS?

Re: Kettering Book by Catron

belliker — 2010-01-26 18:38:02Z

I suggest you contact Higginson Publisher. I was able to get two copies of a "printed on demand" copy of the book from them, the latest version (expensive). One for me and one for my wife's uncle Don Kettering in Monmouth, IL

My mother in law was a Kettering descended from Michael, b 1788 in PA but I can't get farther back than that. Would love to correspond with anyone regarding Ketterings, etc. at my regular email address that is bob underscore elliker at usa dot net.

Thansk fro any reply!

Re: kettering

BMordy — 2010-01-25 22:23:53Z

I suggest you try the address I gave and see if there are any copies or if Connie is still around. I do not know where rlse to find one. The book is huge.

Re: kettering

clcomer — 2010-01-25 19:55:44Z

I am looking for this book. My family recieved a letter from Henry Catron back in 1966 asking if we wanted to purchase a book. However I am just getting this letter 40 years later. Back then it would cost $25.00. Can you tell me if I can still purchase one.I come form the ketron, hobbs, myers connection. Thanks Cathy

Re: Ketring ? Kettring Michael and family I have photograph

2006-08-13 14:25:15Z

Hello: I went to an estate sale in Virginia, near Washington DC and the pictures were there, might have been Arlington or Upper Alexandria. I did not find out if the sale was that of a descendant of Michael or not. I meant to ask the name so I could look for connection of the family but forgot and this was last day of the sale.
I was touched by the pictures and maybe silly of me to buy them but I do hope that one day, somewhere, pictures of my family will be rescued and a note placed on the boards and so that is why I sometimes buy some pics, letters and bibles. I think you can click on my name above and get my e-mail address if you want to write direct. I don't know about putting up pictures through here. I did find a tree listing this family and left a postem but there was no reply. Main pic of whole family and two others of, I think was, Sarah and Clara, pics are downstairs and I will get them out of box and more details if you think they are related. Let me know if the family is yours. Kind regards, Cherie Lynn

Re: Ketring ? Kettring Michael and family I have photograph

2006-08-13 00:07:50Z

Where did you buy these at? My folks have a Michael Ketterning, but I need to go back in our tree, and find out details of his origin. We can from the Black Forest in Germany, over to Maryland, and down into Virginia. I would love to see the pictures, and hear details of how you came across it. Thank you in advance.

There is a home in Lemont Illinois built by John Kettering son of Adam from Palmyra, Lebanon, PA. It's vacant recently purchased by a builder that wants to develop the land. This would include the leveling of a beautiful 1840's or 1850's Mansion! The home was a residence up until about 5 years ago. since then it's been badly vandalized by teenagers... for more information email me. drutter322@aol.com

I am looking for the geneology done by a relative of the family of Oscar. R. McCoy of Wolf Creek Pass (Pagosa Springs) Colorado. Married to Eva in 1900, children were Clarence (1906?), Ila, George and Crete. Oscar dies in 1934 and Clarence continued to live there for awhile. There is a family cemetery on Wolf Creek Pass.

I am looking for the geaneology done by Betsy McCoy. We think she is a relative of Clarence.

Re: Hans Jacob Kettenring

There seems to be a missing generation early in the Kettenring family tree. Hans Jacob Kettenring, Jr. (as listed in H. H. Catron's book) is probably the grandson of Hans Jacob Kettenring, which would make him Hans Jacob the II or III.
