Biography
Catherine was born about 1770. She was the daughter of John Nichols, Sr. and Mariah J. Payne. She passed away after 1830 and possibly shortly before 1837 when a chancery case was entered into the Bedford County, Virginia courts.
Marriage and Family
Catherine Nichols married John Pollard on 9 Jan 1787 in Bedford Co. VA. Based on this date, we assume she was born before about 1770. She was the mother of nine children. The last for whom we have a birth date is Sophia, born in 1812. Thus Catherine did not die earlier than that date, and perhaps died much later.

John's will (5 April 1803) names his daughter Katherine Nichols Pollard. Most of the other records and family trees I have seen spell her name Catherine. Since WikiTree searches will bring up records with either spelling, I do not believe that Katherine should be listed as a nickname.
