Daughter | Mary Ketcham (b. 26 September 1808, d. 2 May 1876) |
Daughter | Jemima Ketcham (b. 4 February 1811, d. 15 January 1891) |
Birth | 8 April 1772 | Benjamin Ketcham was born on 8 April 1772 in Suffolk County, New York. His marriage is recorded in the records of Rev. Joshua Hartt, whose records start in 1772, but he only lists 4 baptisms for 1772, and not Benjamin's. This birth date is calculated from the age at death, as reported in a listing of the Fort Salonga cemetery in the Boston Transcript.1,2 |
Research Note | 1790 | 1790 Suffolk County, New York. Attached list of all the Ketcham's in Suffolk County in the 1790 census. Most likely one of these is Benjamin's father, or his widowed mother. |
Marriage | 9 August 1799 | He and Elizabeth Mulford were married on 9 August 1799 in Smithtown, Long Island, New York, Rev. Joshua Hartt was a Presbyterian minister, in the Smithtown area from about 1780 to 1809, and as a supply minister until his death in 1825. Benjamin and Elizabeth had 6 children: Alfred Elizabeth (m. Charles Hawkins) Abram Mulford Zurviah (m. Thomas Edwards) Mary (m. Epenetus Rogers) Jemima (m1. Joel Higgins, m2. Delevan Davenport Doudge) Benjamin m2: (Mulford-Gardiner article calls Elizabeth his first wife. She is buried in Mulford Cemetery. They are the only Ketchams buried there, of 9 burials.)3,4 |
Census | 1800 | He appeared in the census 1800 in Huntington, Suffolk County, New York. Benjamin is listed as: One male under 10 One male 16-25 One female 16-25 Neighbors: Gilbert Lammis, John Darling, Widow Gildersleeve 2 free blacks listed just after him, Jabez and Gloriana, each with 4 persons. At the top of the same page are many Ketchams: Zephaniah, Nehemiah, Hubbard, David, Nathaniel and Jacob. All have young children. Joshua Hart is listed a few households below Benjamin, so this may be Smithtown. In 1800, Smithtown is not listed separately. Image 12 of 20 on ancestry.com |
Census | 1810 | He appeared in the census 1810 in Smithtown, Suffolk County, New York. Benjamin is listed as: One male under 10 One male 10-15 One male 45+ 2 females under 10 1 female 26-44 This does not correspond exactly to the Benjamin Ketcham family listed in the Family Record of Elias Mumford. That would be: One male under 10 (Abram, b. 1803) One male 10-15 (Alfred, b. 1799) One male 26-44 (Benjamin was 38) 3 females under 10 (Elizabeth - 1801, Zurviah - 1805, and Mary - 1808) 1 female 26-44 However, it does seem unlikely that there were two Benjamin Ketchams in the same local area with young children. On a List of Freeholders, Smithtown, Long Island, NY in the year 1810, available on ancestry.com, Benjamin Ketcham is listed, as Yeoman, with a note "removed 1820", presumably when he moved to Huntington. |
Marriage | 9 May 1814 | He and Abigail Hartt were married on 9 May 1814 in Smithtown, Long Island, New York, Not sure of her name, basing this on a death notice in the Brooklyn Evening Star, 16 Apr 1860, "At Huntington, L.I., Abigail H., relict of Benjamin Ketcham, age 80."5 |
Census | 1820 | He appeared in the census 1820 in Huntington, Suffolk County, New York. Benjamin is listed as: 3 males under 10, 1 male 26-45 1 female under 10 2 females 10-16 1 female 26-45 One person in manufacturing. Elizabeth would have been 19, so it does not appear she was living at home. The boys appear to be sons of Abigail, his second wife, whom he married in 1814. Neighbors: Jonas Smith, John L. Hart, Epenetus Smith, Alexander Smith, Jesse Scudder, John B. Scudder 1820 U S Census; Census Place: East Hampton, Suffolk, New York; Page: 295;NARA Roll: M33_74; Image: 308 |
