Biography
Catherine aka "Katie" Troxel was born about 1783 in Loudon County, Virginia, the child of Jacob Troxel. Her mother has been suggested to be a Native American, Cornblossom Doublehead, but there is no proof of the existence of such a woman.
Catherine died Mar 21 1814 in Oneida, Scott County, Tennessee.[1]
She married Jonathan Blevins.[2]
- "Know all men by these presents that we Jonathan Blevins and Elisha Blevins are held and firmly bound unto his excellence James Garrard Esq. Governor of Kentucky for the time being and his successors in Office in the sum of Fifty pounds Current Money for the use of the commonwealth to which payment will and truly to be made we bind ourselves and each of our Heirs etc. Jointly and Severally firmly by these presents sealed and Dated this 7th day of April 1803.
- "The Condition of the above obligation is such that whereas there is a marriage shortly intended between the above bound Jonathan Belevins & Katy Trosall. If therefore there be no lawfull cause to obstruct the same then the above Obligation to be void else to remin in full force. Signed and acknowledged before me M. Paul C.W.C. (or E.W.E.?)Jonathan Blevins (his mark), Elisha Blevins.
- The Consent of Jacob Troxall Father to the within named Katy was proved by the oath of John Troxall. Teste Micah Taul (sp?)..."
Some have used the above to associate Katy Troxel as the daughter of Jacob "Big Jake" Troxell and Princess Cornblossom, daughter of Chief Chuqualatague. But as you can see from the original, while her father is named Jacob, there is no further information about her parentage.
The presence of John Troxall suggests a relation to Katy-- possibly a brother?

Troxel-373 has Armstead Blevins (Blevins-2087) listed as husband & married in 1803, but that Armstead wasn't born until 1817. Not sure how that even got entered. There is the other Armstead (Blevins-638), who is listed as half-brother to the 2087 one, born in 1820. But he's also the son of the husband of this Catherine Troxel-106. So, that's about as far as I can make it, b/c I'm so addled! It looks to me like some kind of overhaul needs to be done before merging anybody, but that's just me. Thanks!
