The Catherines

When I was born in 1951, I believe that my parents wanted to choose a name for me that carried the ancestry and history of women in my family. Research has shown me that the name Catherine, is evidently well known and appreciated in my paternal family. They named me:
                                                                  
 Catherine Lee Lowe

These ancestral women came from England and Germany, eventually living in and around Catawba County, North Carolina:

Anna Catharina Mull 1707-1762

Catherine Brown Warren Boone  1708-1778

Catherine Sherrill Robinson  1732 -

Anna Catherina Schuffert  1732 -

Catherine Mary Mull Weidner  1733-1804

Catherine Weidner Mull 1755-1838

Catherine Elizabeth Shuford Whitener  1841-1908
