Catherine (?)1
F, d. after August 1799
Her married name was Catherine Linville. Thomas of this narrative likely married by 1754, possibly to a woman named Catherine or Jane, possibly someone whom he met along Carolina Road in Virginia; Present (2/20) DNA research suggests that Thomas may have had more than one wife. This is also reflective of the gaps in births of his known children. He had at least one child by 1754 (Jane, who lived to adulthood). Whether the family was living only in North Carolina or may have spent a short time in South Carolina (where some records suggest daughter Jane was born there) is not clear. There is no extant record of Thomas Linville in Belews Creek between 1754 and 1759, though he and his two brothers William and David may have been maintaining some foothold in land around Lynville Creek and Mountain in present-day Franklin County VA (near state highway 676 south of Staunton River) in the 1750s. Three sons named a daughter Catherine, which suggests a possible name for their mother and there is one record of a Catherine Linville in 1799 (see Thomas's bc 1732 timeline). The names of Thomas's known daughters were Jane, Rebecca and Sybilla. With the first daughter named Jane (possibly named for a mother or an aunt) and second son named Abraham, there has been a suggestion for a possible connection to the Vanderpool family, who used those names. These Vanderpools who appeared as neighbors in Belews Creek area by 1757 definitely intermarried with several Linvilles a generation later. But they appeared to still be in northern Virginia until about 1757. At this point the connection to these Vanderpools is speculative, but as this description of Thomas's life reveals, he was definitely closely allied with them. What the nature of their relationship beyond their children and grandchildren internarrying along the migratory trails from Belews Creek to Wilkes County, North Carolina, then Campbell County, Tennessee, western Missouri and on to Oregon. [See discussion on Thomas's descendants for additional information. Both families have incomplete genealogies between 1750-1800.] Her married name was Linvill. Catherine (?) was (an unknown value.) She died after August 1799 at (possibly) Carter County, TN.
