Jacob Ketchem was on 1815 tax list for Bledsoe County, TN. Jacob was found to be in Blount Co., AL 1830 on page 12 of the census records, recorded as Jacob Cotchum, age 20-30, along with a female age 20-30. Shortly thereafter he was in Texas
and fought in the Texas war of Independence from Mexico. After the war he received a land grant from the Republic of Texas of 1,280 acres in Fannin District, TX for his service. The grant was a Second Class Headright, issued to those who
arrived between March 2, 1836 and October 1, 1837. Heads of families received 1,280 acres. Jacob Ketcham was the original grantee (the person who was awarded the land). After fulfilling any conditions of the grant, such as making improvements,
and paying any required fees, the individual could then apply for a patent (the original title from the government) from the Texas General Land Office. The patent was issued 18 Feb 1845 to the Heirs of Jacob Ketcham, patent number 245, patent
volume 1, Certificate 11, file number 41. The land is now known on property maps of Fannin County as the Jacob Ketcham Survey, Abstract 608. Sometime after his death, his widow Mary married George McNutt and they moved to Lawrence Co.,
Arkansas. Jacob's brother Peter and the rest of the family filed a legal action in Tarrant County, TX (Fort Worth) to try to claim the land, but apparently to no avail. It was this court action that produced the affadavit saying that Edward was
known to be the father of Peter, Jacob, and the other children. Another (earlier) action in Blount County, Alabama produced a similar affadavit.--Barry Spradley
