Catharine, daughter of Nicholas Stillwell and Catherine Huyberts, was baptized on 14 Jul 1678 along with her sisters Ann and Rebecca at the Dutch Reformed Church, Flatbush, New Amsterdam.[1]
She married Barent (Christoffelzen) Christopher abt. 1701 in New York; born 1680; died aft. 1732. The husbands match, and the first and middle names are almost the same, so most likely this is the same person as Catharine Stillwell Christopher. The approximate death date is close but not exact.
