Biography

Catherine was the daughter of James Norris and Eleanor Knipe. ^[1] She was born in March of 1807.^[2]

In 1809, when Catherine was just 2 years old, she and her family immigrated to Canada aboard the Saint Sophia. The family settled first on Prince Edward Island, but after 2 years, they moved to Nova Scotia. In 1817, the Norris family again uprooted to move to Harrison County, Ohio. There, they settled on the banks of Stillwater Creek. A village grew around them called Norrisville,^[3] now Tippecanoe.

Catherine married Ezekiel Davis in Harrison County, Ohio on September 1, 1837.
