- Nymphenburg, 15 Jan 1836: Georg was a brandy distiller with Jakob Stalter in the court district of Rain.
———————————-
Georg Kettner Jr. (39) was naturalized on September 20, 1855 in Tazewell County. He stated he was born in "Byrone" Germany and that he arrived in New York on 6/2/1851. He actually arrived on 6/7/1851.
In 1860, 43 year old George Kidner (Jr.) and 37 year old Ann Kidner, both from from Bavaria, are living in Pekin Township with 4 year old John Bohn (1860 U. S. Census, Illinois, Tazewell County, Pekin Township, p. 22, line 30). 1870 US Census - George Kettner (54 born Bavaria), Anna Kettner (46 born Bavaria) and John Bohn (14, born IL) living in Pekin's 3rd ward in 1870 (1870 US Census, Illinois, Pekin, page 10 [129/151 at Ancestry.com]). I also note that a John Bohn married Ann E. Hons or Haas on 6/25/1858 in Tazewell County . I wonder if perhaps Anna Kettner was the widow or ex-wife of John Bohn Sr. and mother of John Bohn who lived with the George Kettners in 1860 and 1870. I also note that a 28 year old John Bohn from Peoria enlisted in the Union Army for 3 months on 4/20/1861. He was a private in Company E., 8th Illinois infantry. He mustered out on 7/25/1861.

George Kettner signed a Declaration of Intent for Naturalization at Pekin Sept. 20, 1855. He stated that he was 39, was born in the Kingdom of Byrne [Bayern/Bavaria], and that he had arrived at New York June 2, 1851.
In 1860 he was living with Anna Elizabeth Haas at Pekin; the census describes the household of laborer George Kidner, 43, Bavaria; Anna, 37, Bavaria; John Bohn,4, Illinois; Frederic Smelzer, 24, Bavaria; and Cartroon, 23, Prussia. Anna had apparently brought a 2-year-old son John to her marriage with John Bohn Sr. in Tazewell County June 25, 1858, and John Sr. had died before 1860.
The 1870 census of Pekin's Third Ward describes laborer George Keltner, 54, Bavaria; Anna, 46, Bavaria; and John Bohn, 4, Illinois. [2, 4]
