Michael and Mary were born in Germany and arrived in America-Philadelphia on the ship " Chance" on 09/09/1765. They settled in Lancaster, PA later moved to Wythe County, VA and then to Sullivan County, TN. - info courtesy of Contributor: Moments In Time (48218027)
"Henry donated the land where the camp meetings were held, later for a cemetery and his nephew, Henry Cattron Hicks later donated adjoining land for a Methodist church, which is today called Arcadia Methodist Church and cemetery... Henry and Susannah are also buried there, although no marker is found for their graves... Henry Ketron's mother and father, Michael and Mary, are buried there" - posted online by __bettyw41 in 2007

Johann and Michael are apparently brothers, not the same man, see the 1956 book on the family by Henry H Catron
It was also common for German families to use the same middle name for their children, which also adds to the confusion, so it is possible that Michael and other siblings all had Johann in their name, but for clarity, at the moment I'm going to remove the Johann. - J Chandler

I don't think the 1757 marriage to Maria Ehrgott, nor the son George born IN GERMANY in 1769, have anything to do with this Michael Kettenring. This Michael was already in America by then. And that George's father is Johann Valentine Kettenring
