Excerpt from Historic Sullivan, by Oliver Taylor
Ketron's camp-ground was established about the same time as Bond's [1842]-a year later, perhaps. It was also known as Reedy creek camp-ground. Henry Ketron gave the land for the tents, church and burying-ground. The church was burned down in 1863 and the camp-meetings at that place abandoned. Among the early tenters were John Ketron, Wesley Ketron, Watson Ketron, Joseph Newland, William Newland, Abner Hughes, Lot O. Gott, Rev. S. D. Gaines and Philip Foust.

From the research of Bob Shell:
Abner Hughes was the son of Jacob Isaac Hughes and wife, Ann (Nancy) Pike. He married Rebecca Woodward in Abingdon, Washington County, Virginia on 29 Feb 1800. He also married Sarah Idding after Rebecca's death.
