Catherine Hoskins was born about 1718, the daughter of Samuel Hoskins Sr (abt.1685-abt.1732) and Mary Brereton (abt.1685-).[1] Caty, age seventeen, married twenty-six year old Hugh Sanders in 1735.[1] Caty and Hugh had twelve surviving children; four sons and eight daughters: John, Nathaniel, Robert and Charles, Sally (Sarah), Elizabeth, Molly (Mary), Millie (Mildred), Ann, Catherine, Abigail, and Rosie.[1]
Caty and her family along with other Spotsylvania families, began to follow and support the Baptist ministry of Lewis Craig. Her daughter Elizabeth married Lewis Craig, founder of the Baptist Church at Paytes and her oldest son married Lewis's sister, jane Craig, about 1762.[1]
In 1780, Hugh and Caty sold 900 acres in Spotsylvania County.[2] Caty and Hugh seemed to be selling their land, perhaps in preparation to follow Lewis Craig's Traveling Church to Kentucky. Hugh died in August of 1781, leaving his Spotsylvania farm to his wife, Caty.[1] The Traveling Church left Spotsylvania County, Virginia, on 29 September, 1781.[1] Caty, her son Jon and his wife, Jane Craig and some of her family left Spotsylvania "early in 1782 after the winter eased up."[1]
Caty lived more than a dozen years in Kentucky near the forks of the Elkhorn River. "In 1793, Caty, by then age seventy-five, relinquished the legacy from her husband, leaving any last remnants of farmland and possessions in Virginia to Nathaniel as h/ugh had asked."[3]
