Biography
Catharine was born in 1802
- Children:
- Sarah Fretz (1826 - ) md 1845 Robert Walker
- Rachel Fretz (1828-1866) md 1858 John F. Kilaver
Research Note: Trees online have her parents as Johann Michael Heiney (1756 - 1833) and Anna Elizabeth Sixs, but I found Michael's 1833 estate records and it lists his 9 children numerous times - there is not a Catherine. See his profile.
