"An example of English descent is Edward Ketcham (Chetham as it was spelled in England on the records of his first marriage to Mary Hall and the birth of his first children). There are no known records of his parents, nor any siblings. Edward is not found on any passenger list, but he came to America during the Great Puritan Migration. He can be found with his family in Ipswich, Mass, in the 1630s. It is assumed Edward was born in about 1590, though no record of his birth has been located."  Source: Wikipedia

07. Isabel Ketchum, ^[1] presumed daughter of Samuel and Deborah was born October 9, 1769 in Lansingburgh, New York.  She married Asa Turner on February 14, 1788.  According to researcher Rupert Charles Loucks, Isabel was almost certainly a younger sister of Sarah Ketchum, wife of Asa Turner's brother Thomas.  Sarah was the daughter of Samuel and Deborah Ketchum, who, as of 1790 census time were also Lansingburgh residents.  Sarah is also noted as wife of Thomas Turner in "Turner Family in America."
