Green Berry KETCHUM Sr. (Peter Reasor , Edward ) was born on 10 Nov 1820 in Alabama. He died on 28 Oct 1868 in San Saba Co., Texas. He was buried in China Creek Cemetery, San Saba, TX. Green was employed as Farmer, rancher.
Came to Texas about 1848 from Christian Co., IL with father & two brothers and their families. Brother James arrived in Texas in 1846 and uncle Jacob earlier. Green Berry Ketchum was the County Coroner in Christian County, Illinois before he came to Texas. He married Temperance Katherine Wydick in Macon County, Illinois (which later became a part of Christian County).They eventually settled 5 miles west of San Saba, TX where Richland Creek meets the San Saba River and "a few miles above the mouth of the creek". They registered as members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on Simpson Creek. They are buried at China Creek Cemetery located 2.7 miles north of Harkeyville,Tx. in San Saba County. Harkeyville is 3 miles west (on Hwy 395) of the city of San Saba, Tx
Green married Temperance Katherine WYDICK [image] "Temple" daughter of Samuel WYDICK and Nancy on 27 Jan 1842 in Macon Co., Illinois. Temperance was born on 26 Mar 1824 in Kentucky. She died in 1873 in San Saba, Texas. She was buried in China Creek Cemetery, San Saba, TX.
One descendant said that she remembered her family passing down a story that Temperance was of Germanic descent and could speak only one word of English when she and Green Berry were married. The word was 'cornbread'. I was told that she somehow became blind in her later years. She reportedly once said that her father was a slave trader in Union Town, Pennsylvania. There were five brothers, sons of John Wydick, Sr. (John, Samuel, Jacob, George and Joseph Wydick) who moved from Logan Co. KY to Macon Co. IL (1825) and an Emanuel who moved to Macon Co. the next year. They are most certainly from this same family. Some doubt whether they came from Pennsylvania or from Kentucky to Illinois.
