Historical Sketches of Kentucky by Lewis Collins, Maysville, KY. and J. A. & U. P. James, Cincinnati, 1847. Volume 1. Reprinted 1968. Fayette County. The Poets and Poetry of Kentucky, page 574. MRS. CATHARINE ANN WARFIELD, Nee Ware, was born in Washington, Mississipi, in 1817; married in 1833 to Elisha Warfield, Jr., of Lexington, Ky.; spent several years in foreign travel; about 1838, settled at Lexington, and in 1858 removed to Pewee Valley, near Louisville. In 1842, her poems and those of her sister, Mrs. Eleanor Percy Lee, were published in a volume entitled "Poems by Two Sisters of the West;" and in 1846 a second volume was published - the poems envincing a riper judgment and more maturity of thought. In 1858-60, Mrs. Warfield published in the Louisville Journal some poems of increasing strength and beauty.
