Biography
Johann Friedrich Baumgärtner aka Frederick Bumgarner named son Joel in his will (Orange County, Virginia Will Book 2: 94). Frederick's wife was named Catherine as evidenced in lawsuit (Orange County, Virginia Order Book 4: 280.). Catherine was also supposed to have been granted administration of Frederick's will from the will book (Ardys V. Hurt, "Johann Frederick Baumgardner," Beyond Germanna, 1, no. 5, (September 1989): 41-43).
Son Joel Bumgarner named his mother as Catron Deer in his will (Culpeper County, Virginia Will Book B: 111). (Catron is a variant spelling of Catharine - Not a surname as suggested by some)

Unknown-145 LNAB is definately Kettenring (Kettering) as she is the daughter of Christoff Kettenring, even though my source information is slim, (MyHeritage.com). Her mother is Barbara Worz (Kettenring) She was evidently married 4 times , married names: (Major), (Baumgardner-Baumgaertner), (Deer) I may have failed to mention Catron-45 before, but this person is also a match for Catherine. So now we have a Double-Merge! There is currently no profile MGR for Catron-45, which will simplify things. Note that Kettenring-285 has Burial location, FindAGrave Citation, Marriage Date, & some notes wich should be preserved in the merge. Thanx
There doesn't appear to be any evidence that her maiden name was Kettenring. If that's true, then the final profile should be Unknown-145.
