Biography

Monroe, New Jersey

Catharine Anderson^[1][2] was born the 27th of July 1771 in Monroe, New Jersey.^[1][2] She was the daughter of John and Anna (Lloyd) Anderson.^[2][3] Catharine married Robert Perrine,^[3][4] of South Amboy,^[5][6][7] on the 28th of April 1791.^[2] Robert and Catharine started their family in South Amboy, Middlesex, New Jersey. Although they lived in South Amboy,^[7] they traveled over ten miles to attend church in Tennant. ^[8] within the Manalapan Township in Monmouth, New Jersey.^[9] Monmouth having been the site of the longest land battle of the Revolutionary War,^[9] had settled into a quieter place by the time they had their first child, Anne.^[10]

At the turn of the century Robert and Catharine had three more daughters (Peggy, Elizabeth and Mary), and now had a household size of six.^[2][3][11] Over the next ten years they added little Catharine,^[12] John Lloyd,^[13] Joseph^[14] and William Craig Perrine^[15] to the family. They now had a bustling household of ten. Robert Jr was born in the fall of 1812, and woefullly died the following spring.^[2][3] Their final child, another Robert Jr,^[16] was born in the spring of 1814. This completed their family of eleven.

In 1850, Catherine was living in Rochester, New York, with her son Robert.^[1] She was seventy-nine years old according to that census record.^[1] Robert Jr was working as a plow maker, and his wife Sarah was taking care of their three children and the home.^[1]

Catharine died on the 31st of May in 1851,^[2][3] of old age.^[17] Her husband Robert had predeceased her in 1824.^[2][3] According to the family histories, they were both laid to rest in the Tennant Churchyard.^[2][3] Her tombstone, however, is found in the Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester,^[18] where she had recently resided with her son.^[1]

Research Notes

• County Formations:

South Amboy, Middlesex, NJ formed from Perth Amboy in 1782

South Amboy, Middlesex, NJ incorporated in 1798

Freehold Township, Monmouth, NJ established 1693

Manalapan Township, Monmouth, NJ formed 1848 from Freehold Township

• I'm not sure if they traveled to Tennant to attend church, or they later moved there and so the church baptized them and included their birth records in the church records.
