• Notes

  [A review of the 1860-1880 census records has caused me to revisit the structure of Timothy Ketcham's family. In 1860, Nancy [Ketcham] was listed following Timothy in the usual position of a wife. In 1870, Nancy did not appear in the record, and a much younger woman, Emma, was listed following Timothy, followed by two young children, then Timothy's mother Nancy, his sister Eliza, then a John G. Ketcham (age 14). On the 1880 census, neither Nancy nor Emma appeared (but his five children were listed). From this evidence, I have inferred that Timothy's first wife Nancy died and Timothy remarried between 1860 and 1870. The second wife Emma died after the birth of the youngest child Kate in 1878 and before 1880. While I have assigned the children Sarah and George as Emma's offspring, they could be children of Nancy.
