[147] The Blount County marriage records (unofficial) call him Rasor Ketchum.
[149]
Fowkes' "History of Christian Co. IL" says Peter R. Ketchum was soldier in War of 1812, Black Hawk War, Civil War. Died in the Civil War in Col. Pughes Regiment on 4/22/1862-St. Louis. This was NOT Peter. Maybe his father-in-law? or father,
Edward (not likely)? Peter and his brother Christopher were farmers and operated a small grist mill in Christian County, Illinois before Peter moved to Texas with others of his family in 1848. Christopher was a minister in Christian County, and
it was reported by a descendant that Peter was also a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church South (in Caldwell Co., TX). After arriving in Texas, Peter bought land from M. G. Dykes between Luling and Prarie Lea, Texas on Seals Creek on
March 19, 1852.
[151]
Peter Razor (Reasor?) Ketchum is mentioned in the Blount County Alabama Court - Final Record - Feb. 18, 1825, Page 54 - Peter Ketchum vs. Vestal Beeson (no further information). Later that year Peter Razor Ketchum married Ann Burrell in Blount
Co. on Oct. 12, 1825. No other information available about this union has been found. If it is correct, then Ann Burrell could have been the mother of some or all of the children born after James. Twenty seven years later, Peter Razor (Reasor?)
Ketchum married Arabella Waggoner in 1852 in Caldwell County, TX. However, Peter's son C.V. Ketchum's obituary says that he came to Limestone County, TX with his parents (plural), and then to Caldwell County, TX. If this is correct than Peter's
wife (Ann Burrell?) died in Limestone or Caldwell, between 1848 and 1852.
[153]
Peter R. Ketchum and Arabella married in 1852 and had no children. Marriage of Peter and Arabella is recorded in book A, Caldwell County, Texas. Arabella was widow of James B. Waggoner who died in 1851. James Waggoner and Arabella Waggoner had
at least four children. James Waggoner, Mary Frances Waggoner, Sarah Waggoner (married Moses Howard on June 27, 1852), and Amanda J. Waggoner who married a Schuyler.
[155] NOTE: Information below is a mystery. Nothing else can be found in the Caldwell County courthouse about the charges brought against these men or a trial outcome, if the cases did go to trial.

NOTE: in the book b, page 576 there were several cases right after Peter Ketchum with the same charges against other men. this suggests, that they were all connected. It also seems that Hamity Williams and Peter Ketchum were deceased before
trial date and charges dismissed.
