1844 Catherine Ann Brock


Born: Mar. 25, 1844 in New York State      

Died: Dec. 26, 1902 in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania


Her father was Jacob Brock - no info.

Her mother was E. Mary Russell - no info.

E. Mary Russell was the daughter of Frank Russell and Cornelia,
probably Burhyte.  There is a note which says that Cornelia 
emigrated from Holland in 1850, but the source is not clear.

The Russell family came to Windsor, NY from Connecticut.  Riverus Russell
was a soldier in the American Revolutionary War.  The name "Riverus" may be
wrong or just spelled incorrectly; the source is nearly illegible.

She was married Feb. 13, 1862 to 1812 John M. Burhyte.
He was her uncle, being the brother of her mother.

They had these six children together:

  1862 Jane "Jennie" Elizabeth Burhyte  born  1 Jan 1862 ; died Apr.  7, 1893
  1864 Jacob Henry Burhyte              born  6 Nov 1864 ; died Mar. 26, 1912
  1866 Caroline Lucretia Burhyte        born 11 Nov 1866 ; died May  12, 1917
  1869 Mary Cornelia Burhyte            born  2 Nov 1869 ; died Sep.  3, 1958
  1872 James Horace Burhyte             born  4 Nov 1872 ; died May  23, 1928
  1872 John Elliot Burhyte              born  4 Nov 1872 ; died       in 1877, age 5
  
All these children were born in New York State.

N.B.: James and John (Jr.) were twins.

After John died in 1874, Catherine re-married Apr. 15, 1876 to 1847 Austin Terry, 
They had these children together:

  1877 Sarah Ellen Terry            born Jan. 10, 1877  (she married Ezra Dwight)
  1878 Jaline Weasner Terry         born Jul. 21, 1878  (she died young)
  1881 Georgeanna Terry             born Jan. 17, 1881  ("Aunt Anna", she married George Ford)
  1882 Stephen Wilmont Terry        born Nov. 27, 1882  ("Uncle Steve", he married Nellie Barnhart)
  1884 Elvina Terry                 born May   4, 1884  (twin of Melvina)
  1884 Melvina Terry                born May   4, 1884  (twin of Elvina)
  1886 William Austin Terry         born Sep. 29, 1886  ("Uncle Bill", he married Ruth Rose)
  
N.B. I have seen three spellings for 1884(1): Alvina, Elvina, and Elvira.

Catherine had a total of 13 children; six with 1812 John Burhyte 
and then seven more with 1847 Austin Terry.
