Biography

NOTE : Catherine should not be confused with Catherine [LNU] who married Martin Bash of Westmoreland, PA.

Catherine, daughter of Ulrich Schallenberger of Hempfield Township, Lancaster, PA, is named in an indenture dated 1767 as the wife of Martin Besh of Maryland.^[1] Since she was married by 1767, she is assumed to have been born before c.1745.

Research Notes

An unsourced Findagrave entry gives that she was the wife of Martin Bash and was buried in the Bash-Somers Cemetery in Pleasant Unity, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.^[2] However, the Findagrave entry for Martin, prepared by the same contributor, appears to contain a number of errors, and it is not clear that the entry for Catherine is correct in any particulars. Martin is not identified as having spent time in Maryland.

1820 : In (Election District 9) Frederick, MD : Catharine Bash.^[3] Household includes :

1 female aged over 45 (assumed to be Catharine)

1 male aged 16-25

1 female aged 16-25

2 females aged 10-15

1 female aged under 10

(This looks like a widow and her children aged between about 5 and 20. Catharine might be estimated to be aged about 50, and thus born c.1770. She is probably not the daughter of Ulrich Schallenberger.)

Died 1808 Unity, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, United States. 1808 Unity, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, USA. ^[4] 1808 United, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States of America. ^[4] Found multiple copies of death date. Using 1808
