Biography

If the scanty sources can be trusted, then widow Batsford married the widowered father of her own daughter-in-law. Either that, or she and her second husband (to whom she was a second wife) engineered a wedding between their respective biological children. It all seems just a little off.

Katherine was born in 1635. She passed away in 1702.
