Signing their names were: Johannes Kettner and Georg Michel Kettner
Records show the Ketner family to have settled in the Tulpehocken area of Berks County, Pennsylvania, by 1743 or earlier. A list of charter members of Christ Lutheran Church at Stouchsburg, organized in 1743, included John Ketner and George Michael Ketner. This church was formed largely by a group of 160 members who withdrew from Ried's Lutheran Church in the area, thus placing the Ketner's as being there before 1743.
