Catharina was born 2 May 1764 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, according to an index of baptisms at Lowhill Reformed Congregation, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, 1769-1881, database, Ancestry. No dates or context are supplied in the index for the parental entries; probably because Ancestry did not have permission to publish the records themselves.
Catherine was not included in a list of heirs to Jacob Schmithers, son of Wil and Anna Catharina Schmithers: "the Brothers & Sisters of the said Jacob Smeathers decd were nine in number, to Wit, Henry Smeathers, John Smeathers, Teny Lentz, Barbara Miller, Peggy Hollow [Hollar], Polly Hartman, Eve Pasinger [Bassinger], Susannah Rough [a.ka. Rowe], & Betsey Craiglo."[1]
IF Catherine was indeed the daughter of Wil and Anna Catharina Schmithers (and therefore sister of their son Jacob), she apparently did not survive her brother Jacob nor did she leave surviving descendants.
