Biography
Catharine (White) Coffin was a part of the Abolitionist Movement.
On October 28, 1824, Levi Coffin married long-time friend Catherine White, the sister of his brother-in-law. The ceremony was held in the Hopewell Friends Meetinghouse in North Carolina. Catherine's family is believed to have been involved in helping slaves escape, and it is likely she met Coffin in this activity. The couple were deeply involved in the Underground Railroad in Indiana and Ohio and their home is often called "Grand Central Station of the Underground Railroad."
The couple had six children, the first born in 1825. Coffin's parents moved to Indiana in that year. He and his new wife and son followed them and moved to Newport (now called Fountain City, Indiana) in 1826.
Note: new narrative profile will be added when one for husband Levi has been completed. ~ T Stanton, Quakers Project, 8 May 2021.
