Re: Father of William Catron b. 1839 in Wythe, Va.

creeperlady — 2012-04-17 01:20:15Z

Patty, I have researched this family before, and here is the information I have, which was taken from the 3rd edition of the Kettenring Family book, published by Henry Catron in 1978. He lists Margaret as Margaret Catron; it is not known if she was married, therefore maiden name something other than Catron, or if Catron was her maiden name and she never married. The books lists Joel Washington, Catherine and Nancy as older siblings of William; William's DOB is listed as 30 Dec 1839, DOD listed as 1 Dec 1914.

The Christian Kettenring of whom the other person wrote was married first to Sarah Vinnirick in 1803 in Wythe Co, VA and they had 8 children, one of whom was named Joel, born in 1812. After Sarah's death, he married Cerena (maiden name unknown) by whom he had 3 more children. None of Christian's children were named William, Nancy or Catherine, according to information found in "the book". Also, the surname of Christian's children was spelled "Cattron" (probably a phonetic spelling). I hope this is helpful to you.

Again, there is no information in Henry Catron's book (and he wrote 3 books, each one containing more information than the preceding one) regarding the husband of Margaret Catron....or whether or not she was married at all. There is no indication of the father of any of her 4 children, neither are the names of Margaret's parents listed.

My great=grandmother, Emma Phelps (Osborne) always said her great great grandmother was a Cherokee indian. Her mother was Darthula Hattie Catron (I have a picture of her and her husband). I am trying to keep going but not sure if records are correct. I found Robert Catron and Peter Catron listed as her father's name (obviously one is wrong).

Re: Stephen Catron married Polly Porter

creeperlady — 2011-02-07 01:50:40Z

The book, "Kettenring Family" published in 1978 and written (compiled) by Henry Hardy Catron, lists the following information: Stephen Kettering b. 15 Feb 1795, d. 17 Jun 1835 at Wythe Co, VA; son of Christopher Kettering, Jr. Married 12 Sep 1818 at Wythe Co, VA to Polly Porter b. 1797. No children.

Christopher Kettering, Jr. b. 1769 (America) d. 2 Feb 1804 in Wythe Co, VA (killed by a falling tree). Son of Christopher Kettering and Anna Maria Susannah Gose. Christopher Jr's wife was Susannah Houch b. 7 Jun 1773 NC, died 17 Oct 1854. Stephen was listed as their second child.

You might further check Wythe Co, VA to see if Polly Porter Kettering remarried.....the name Kettering was later known as Ketron and Catron. Hope this information is of help to you.

Re: peter catron/sumner co tn

alexander1741 — 2010-10-01 04:06:05Z

Julia Ann Catron Coleman's husband, James Preston, mother is believed to be Elizabeth Vann Coleman who married William Coleman from Cocke Co TN. Researchers have placed her birth in Cocke Co TN and also in SC, which makes more sense to me because of the large Cherokee groups there. The family name of Vann is definitely Cherokee from all that I have been able to find place the Vann family in SC as well as TN and NC. Julia Ann's mother, Suzanne Sluss, was purported to be a "survivor of an Indian massacre". Can any of you confirm any of this information?

My Catrons are from Wythe County VA then on to Sullivan Co TX. However, I am interested in learning when and who Catrons intermarried to begin a Catron Cherokee line. Henry Catron married Suzanna Sluss - their daughter, Julia Ann Catron Coleman is my great great grandmother. I couldn't pull up the web site for the family I saw in other postings.

Hello, My name is Aubri Heaslet, and to my knowledge they're really aren't many Catrons left in Texas, where I am originally from. My Great-grandmother, Julia Mae Catron who married my Great-grandfather James Henry Heaslet, who so on and so forth had me. But, if you also search the name Kettenring, since that is the original of the Catrons who immagrated from Europe changed their name when they came to the states. They're is also a reliable forum page containing a small family tree of the Kettenring/Catron family.

Re: Perry Catron or Cattron

robertelfers — 2010-08-30 15:28:19Z

My gg grandfather was Perry Catron originally from SW Virginia (poss. Gate City). He would have been born around 1905 and died in 1976 I think. His father was I have been told was a sheriff in VA and was shot in the back when he was a boy. I am told his name was Tilman.

He left VA as a young man and found work in Richwood Indiana. This is where he met and married Mabel Williams. They lived there until the family home burned down and they went to Cincinnati and finally settled in Falmouth, KY where they operated a fishing camp on the Licking River.

Could this person be your relative?

Hi - I just saw your post. Were you ever able to find any information? My mom was a Catron, from Kentucky. Her great-grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee, and the name Alice Catron sounds very familiar. Her father's name was Charles Regal Catron, born maybe around 1910? His father's name was Thomas Cook.

Re: Willard Catron

freckles1948 — 2010-04-04 05:00:31Z

I barely remember your grandfather. However I can tell you that he was one of 12 children. There were also 2 who died shortly after birth. YOur grandfather was the first in his family to graduate from college. He also recv'd a Master's degree in Education from Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas. He was also a Lt. in the U.S. Navy. My e-mail address is dcatron1@cox.net. If you go to my facebook page you will be able to see some old family pictures. i am sure there are some of your grandfather. In fact I know there is one of him and an airplane. He started pilot training during WWII but couldn't do it because he would black out at high rates of speed and at high altitudes. I believe he passed away as a result of a brain aneurism. My father also had a brain aneurism and died as a result. It evidently runs in the family. Where are you located? My aunt and I have searched for someone related to your grandfather for several years. Can you fill me in on who your parents are and where you are located? it is really good to hear from you please continue to communicate with me.

Re: Catron and related names

creeperlady — 2010-03-15 00:13:06Z

Good Luck on finding one! Henry died a number of years ago; his last book (1537 pages) was printed in 1978. A lady in Texas reprinted that edition about 10 years ago, but she printed only those for which an order was placed. A number of people have asked about his book, but I don't know of anyone who has found one for sale.
