Surname: KETTLE
-------------------------
Hi Mary!
I have a P. (Peleg?) KETTLE in my database, that owned property in Jackson
Township, Porter County, Chesterton area in 1876. He had 40 acres on what
is now road 350 East. I believe the house that is there is original. It
is quite old. In 1895, they were gone from the township. (At least as a
larger property owner.) I believe there is mention of the name in the Chesterton
Tribune abstracts (1882-1890) which I do not have in front of me, but will
check.
I am gathering information on the families that have lived in Jackson and
would love to hear from you!

Your post:
My family (Kettle) moved from Syracus, NY to Valparaiso, Porter County,
IN around 1865. I don't know why, nor can I find them listed anywhere in
IN. Two children were born there. Any help would be great!
