The Ketchum farm
near Kaw City, Oklahoma, is now
deep below Kaw Lake. Where the Ketchum children and, later, the
Musgrove children, played now belongs to the fish.
Frankly, as a genealogy source, these pages are fairly worthless. When I started, I had no real understanding of what I was doing, and failed to note references. I do have some documentation, but I failed to include that documentation here. However, Berry Spradley's and Charles Thurman's pages (links below) do contain documentation, although there are some errors on the Spradley pages--but none that should cause any real difficulty. I have found conflicts and guesswork in my investigations; I suppose that is almost always the case when records are sparse and, sometimes, centuries old.
Perhaps something here will provide you with a starting point.
