Greetings Nora,
I've been on a few months genealogy sabbatical.But now that fall is here I'm slowly getting back into gear again.I am a direct, if very distant, descendant of the KEETCH/KETCH family (the name switched between spellings several times) from Georgina Twp., York Co. ON < Queensbury Parish, York Co., NB < USA? < England
My earliest record is of a John KETCH who, according to cousins, " "Believe to have come from From England.
John, Mary, and their two sons Lemuel and George were all baptized at the same time on 12 June 1792.
-- This from Jack Hicks, cousin to Ruth Vowels,: "John came to NB with the Military and was connected to the Queen's Rangers.The NB Natural Resources and Energy Crown Lands Index of 1988 shows that John was granted Lot 27 on the River in the Parish of Queensbury, York Co, 208 acres, 12 June 1792."
It is believed John was born about 1760.It is thought he may have married in about 1784 because of this bit of information I found online: John KETCHSex:M
Marriage(s):Spouse:Mary
Marriage:Abt. 1784New Brunswick, Toronto, York, Ontario
Source Information:Film Number:2034470
His wife Mary (last name is thought to maybe be PRINCE or PRICE) and he had 10 known children:
Lemuel b. 1789; George b.1791; Elizabeth b.1793; Mary Ann b.1795; William b.1796; Sarah b.1800; John b.1803; Anthony b.1805; Thomas M. b.1807; Ann b.1809
I descend from William (b.1796) who married Abigail ANDERSON.
At this time I have connection with Ketch/Keetch descendants/cousins across North America, ex: New Brunswick, Ontario, BC, Maine, New York, Michigan, California, Washington, Pennsylvania, Texas (and who knows where else the family migrated to.. back to Europe, Australia, etc.?)
If any of this sounds remotely interesting to you, I have more information to share and a few more details.Feel free to either post here or email me directly.

Of course, this isn't up to date but will give you some idea of what I have.
Good luck regardless,
