Biography

Catherine Killian (also called Catrin and Trina - transcribed as Brina at one point), Andreas's daughter, is believed to have been born between 1746 and 1753,[1] some say before 1752.

Mother: Most trees show Catherine/Brina/Trina (m Dobson, Pritchett) as daughter of Margarethe, Andreas Killian's first wife.

Husbands: There is little doubt that Patriot Captain John Dobson Sr. married Catherine Killian, daughter of Andreas Killian. Following Dobson's death at Ramseur's Mill on 20 June 1780 Catherine remarried to a widowed fence-neighbor, James Prichard.

Dobson legend indicates Patriot Captain John Dobson Sr. and Catherine Killian had five children: Joseph III, Nancy, Mary Ann, Benjamin and John Dobson Jr. No records have been found to substantiate this list of children, but later census contains information on Joseph, Nancy and John Dobson Jr. One or more of their children may have been killed in a 1776 by Cherokee Indian Raid instigated by the British during the Revolutionary War.

The 1790 Census of James Prichard's household reflects entries matching the widow Catherine Killian Dobson's family as numbered by Dobson legend and exhibited in subsequent censuses.

Father's 1785 Will

In the AKDHA transcription of Andreas's will, dated 1785, she is listed as Brina: I give to my son-in-law James Prithet husband of my daughter Brina one shilling sterling. Andreas's will mentions James a second time, spelled 'Pritchet'.

The AKDHA biography for Catherine, which gives her many nicknames, including Catrina, Brina, and Trina, notes that she should not be confused with her sister Christianna, who married John Barringer.

The will also states: "I give to my son-in-law John Barringer husband of my daughter Christina ([Christianna Catrina]) one seventh part of my unbequeathed personal estate."

Merged profile Killian-694 had Nancy Ann Dobson profile attached as only child. That profile triggered the following automated message:

Warning: Check the data.
  • A child's birth date (Dobson-2837 born 1753) should not be before a parent is six years old (Killian-206 born 1750).

The birth date of about 1742 for Catherine was also from Killian-694.

Killian-694 and Killian-206 appear to represent the same person because: they share a similar birth year, the same nickname, and a daughter, Nancy Ann, with the same surname, Dobson, as the surname of one of Catherine's spouses.

after Dobson profiles are merged, profiles for daughter Nancy will need to be merged also.
