    Cathrine Patterson Boarder F 16
    William is a merchant and the family has been in New York for 10 years. I'm not sure this is our family, the ages are wrong. If this is our William, they lost a child, explaining the gap between Catherine and William. Is Cathrine Patterson a relative of Catherine Wolley? I find no more information on this exact family. Maybe the younger Catherine gave the information to the enumerator and was wrong?

    William married Catherine Louisa ??? about 1850. Catherine was born on 16 Mar 1831 in , , New Jersey, USA; died on 21 Aug 1877 in , , New York, USA; was buried on 22 Aug 1877 in Brooklyn, Kings, New York, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Catherine Louisa ??? was born on 16 Mar 1831 in , , New Jersey, USA; died on 21 Aug 1877 in , , New York, USA; was buried on 22 Aug 1877 in Brooklyn, Kings, New York, USA.

    Notes:

    William Jr's death record lists her as Caroline Morris. Catherine E's marriage record to Charles lists her as Catherine Postern. Her death record gives Catherine Louisa Harris and says she is married. Her stone at Green-Wood gives Catherine L Harris and also lists William H and Joseph G. Is Postern her maiden name? She was only 39 in 1870, did she re-marry after William's death?
