Notes:

Michael's History

Michael arrived in Philadelphia with his two cousins Johann Jacob and Christopher on the ship "Chance" which sailed from Rotterdam and was on the sea for 2 months.

They went to Lancaster about 65 miles west where they joined up with Johann Adam Kettenring (born 1698 in Lamberg died 1775, Londonderry Township, Lebanon PA.)
a blacksmith who had crossed on the "Samuel" on 12/3/1740.

The Kettenrings were Lutherans. Within a year, Michael married Mary Marguard who was also on the "Chance." (She isn't listed on the chance?)

Michael, Jacob and Christopher all decided to leave Lancaster for Southwest Virginia. Jacob and Christopher went first in 1769. Michael and Mary arrived in Wythe in 1772.

In 1774, Virginia claimed the western territory and called out the militia against the warring Indians in a campaign called Lord Dunmores's War.

On June 2, 1774, seven Kettenring and Kettering men including four of Christopher's older sons (Francis, Peter, Jacob and Phillip) were enrolled as Catron in Robert Doak's company. The campaign ended at Point Pleasant (W Va) on October 10, 1774, when 3,000 soldiers defeated 1,000 Shawnee led by Chief Cornstalk.

After that, most of the Shawnee went west and Indian attacks decreased.

From the Southwest VA Tax assessments compiled by May B. Kegley:

Michael Kettering, one farm on the South Fork of Reed Creek, 518 acres having thereon two dwelling houses of wood, two stories each, 30 feet by 20 feet each, one barn, one corn house, all of wood, valued at $3000.

From "Historic Sites of Sullivan County"
The John Ketron Mansion on Reedy Creek Road (Bloomingdale Pike),in the Arcadia Community, is a large, two story hewn log house, now covered with white siding. It has a large back wing and porches on the front and side. In 1976 it was owned by Bruce Ketron. The Ketron heirs say this is one of the oldest houses in Sullivan county, which is quite possible since it stands in the Reedy Creek Settlement area.

Michael Ketron (or Kettering), the progenitor of this branch of the Ketron family, came to America in 1765 from Hess-Dounstadt, Germany. He married Mary Marguardt
(Born in Germany in 1747) in 1766 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Michael, known as "Michael, the Weaver," had apprenticed as a weaver of stockings in Germany. He brought his hand loom to America where he continued his trade. The Ketrons moved west with a caravan of pack horses in 1772 bringing with them their four children. They settled for a time in Wythe County, Virginia where he purchased 500 acres of unimproved land. He knew nothing of farming nor outdoor work but his wife was well versed in farming and could use an ax well (a thing her husband could not do).

Michael and Mary's son, John Kettenring was the first member of the family to migrate (by 1790) to the Arcadia section of Sullivan County. Another of Michael's sons, Henry, came to this section later. The father, Michael, joined them in 1809 and died here in 1814. He is buried in the Arcadia Cemetery.

----------------------

Johann Michael Kettenring and his wife Mary Magdalena Marquardt Kettenring are both buried in the Arcadia Methodist Church Cemetery located on the upper end of Bloomingdale Pike in the Arcadia section of Sullivan County, Tn., Neither has a stone.

There are many Kettenring/Ketron/Catron descendants buried in that cemetery. The land for the cemetery was donated Henry Kettenring/Ketron, who was the son of Johann Michael Kettenring. Henry and a couple of his brothers moved to Sullivan County, Tenn. from Wythe Co., Va and set up their homes and then went back to Wythe Co, some 90 or 100 miles northeast of Sullivan Co, to get their parents and younger sister and moved them down to Sullivan County. Michael either lived in the same house with Henry or maybe his brother John, or lived in his own house close by, probably with in shouting distance. Henry lived right near where the Arcadia Methodist Church and Cemetery are now.



According to history both Michael & Mary could read/write and had several books including a German bible & hymnbook & German speller for children & taught their children to read/write.

Birth:
Johann Michael Kettering (read notes on names), I took the "Johann" off the beginnings because they confused me. But a lot of them were born Johann, & went by middle names.

Died:
I know the general consensus is that Michael died in 1814 Sullivan County, TN. No one can offer (recorded) proof of this. It seems to be an assumption.

This was found in the Court order records of Wythe County, Virginia in January 1812.

"Lawrence Kettering appointed administrator of Michael Kettering, deceased, estate."

Michael married Mary Magdalene Marguardt on 29 July 1766 in Lancaster, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Mary (daughter of Georg Marguardt and Maria Catarina Unknown) was born on 15 Aug 1747 in Bavaria, Germany; died on 15 Nov 1841 in Sullivan County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
