No exact birth date is known. If she was born in 1795, she would have been 17 years old when she married. She married a Joseph Switzer on 24 March 1812 in Botetourt County, VA and the records list she was the ward of Thomas McDowall. This means she was under 18 years of age. From the estate settlement of her brother in 1834, Catherine is deceased, but her share is given to a Lewis Switzer. This must be her son who would have to be 21 years of age in order to receive his mother's share. Jane Doughty found Lewis Switzer on the 1850 census of Carroll County, VA. He is married to Celinda Simpkins and they had several children. He was listed as 38 years old, which makes the year of his birth 1812, the same year as his parents wedding. Her death date is not known, but it is likely she died within a few years of her only child's birth.
