I suggest you google "major james ketchen" (and then "james ketchen" india and just "ketchen" india for example) for a start as it brings up relevant links and then take it from there. Perhaps when you have done that you can post something more specific about what you would like to know about him and/or his family?
I see you have related threads on the KETCHEN name

Hello
You do not give an indication of time, I would suggest you look at books.google.co.uk I typed in his name and found some interesting 'titbit's, hopefully they are your man!

Hello
Reference the above, I decided 1806 was the year of birth, 'furlough' temporary leave of abscence from post
google....
The pages relate to books issued and likely to be found on the ''books' link
The dates are most likely the date of promotion
London gazette will most probably carry these london-gazette.co.uk
