was born between 1770 and 1780 (Derived for Census records). She

on Culpepper County Personal property tax lists from 1800 to 1804.
Frederick Watts' Will, proven in 1837, gave Caty a share of his estate
but instructed that the two slaves that he had previously given her be
taken into account in the division of the estate. (Culpper County Will

included as a head of household in the 1840 Census of Oglethorpe County,
GA. The only other member of her household was a female 30 -40. In
February 1840, she sold her interest in the estate of Frederick Watts,
which included 87 1/2 acres if Land, to her brother-in-law Robert Smith.
