Famous “Outlaw” Relatives Thomas Edward “Black Jack” Ketchum (October 31, 1863 – April 26, 1901) Samuel Wesley Ketchum (January 04, 1854 - July 24, 1899) Our common link to “Black Jack” and Sam Ketchum was Edward Ketchum (Abt. 1765 – 1836). Our line descends from Edward’s son, Joseph. Joseph’s brother, Peter, was Black Jack and Sam’s grandfather. This makes them and my grandmother, Brooksie, 2nd cousins twice removed. A full and complete story about Black Jack and Sam was written by Berry Spradley who was a great-grandson of Samuel Ketchum.
