For
as far back as I have been able to trace my Fetterly line they were found
residing in Herkimer County, New York. John Fetterly, the first ancestor,
is believed to have been born in 1727. I will not give all the details
here but do have much more information. John married Elizabeth Crouse and
to them seven known children were
born. Their son Robert, b. ca
1770, is next in my line of ancestry.
Robert wed Hannah Rattenauer
in 1793 and they were blessed with six known children. (known to me) They
remained in Herkimer county as his family before him. Their son, Jacob,
is next in my direct line.
Jacob, born Feb 10, 1805 married
Margaret (Sisson I believe) b. June 15, 1805, sometime around 1824 as their
first known child was born in 1826. They raised nine children to my knowledge,
all of them being born right there in Herkimer county, in the Stark ~ Danube
area. Their daugher, Mary Ann, married Abner Munk, March 18, 1855 in Fordsbush.
By the year 1868, the family
was beginning to migrate to new locations. Jacob's son, Peter Fetterly
had moved on to Illinois and his daughter, Mary Ann and her family were
moving to the prairies of Nebraska. Jacob and Margaret, along with sons
Nicholas and Harvey, moved on with Mary Ann and family to Nebraska. They
all settled in Lancaster county, near a little township known as Bennet.
There they are all buried.
My line continues through their
daughter Mary Ann Fetterly and her husband Abner Munk. (see the Munk page
for continuation of line)
I have a considerable amount
of information on this family including names, dates, etc., and would love
to have you contact me if you wonder if, or know that you are a part of
this family tree.
Much of the data that I have
pre-Mary Ann is thanks to the book by Ross Eckler,
Three
Pioneers of Stark.
