History of Buchanan County, Iowa
ed. by C. S. Percival and E. Percival. Cleveland: Williams Bros., 1881.
Jesse Kitch was born in Tuscarawas county, Ohio, May 28, 1822. He worked on his father's farm, and during the last year or two of his residence at home, farmed for himself. In May, 1851, he came to Liberty township. November 14, 1850, he was married to Jane Eberhardt, of Tuscarawas county, by whom he had seven children: Aeriliu, born October 17, 1851; Elmer, born September 25, 1853; Eudora, born August 25, 1856; Jasper, born August 30, 1858; Wilson, born September 23, 1860; and Seymour, born November 6, 1862. His wife died December 4, 1864. On the twenty-sixth of November, 1865, he was married to Mary E. Megonigle, of Byron township, who has one child. In politics he is a Democrat, but is not in any sense a politician.
This page was made possible through the help of many
people.
First, and foremost, I want to thank my ancestors, without whom I wouldn't be
here, and without whom I wouldn't be the same person I am. Second, all of the
people on the Kitch-L list who
have helped and given encouragement, but especially for the major contributions
by Linda (Antram) Smith and Tom Kitch; these two furnished both inspiration and
names and dates, as well as a sounding board for my ideas. In addition I
have had help and support from too many others to name here. It is
appreciated, and as long as we keep living, our genealogy will continue growing.
