Catherine Barbary Smith daughter of Stephen Smith Jr and Mary Eve Harniter, was bom on April 17, 1788 and died September 7, 188 1. George Souter was bom in 1783 and died February 12, 182 1. George and Catherine Barbary were married in 1808 and settled on Cedar Creek near the mouth of Williams Branch. When George Souter died in 1821, he left Catherine Barbary a widow with six children. She raised these children by herself, and at the time of her death she had 24 grandchildren, 50 great grand children and 14 great great grandchildren. "Aunt Kate," as she was affectionately known by kin and by neighbors, was a devoted member of Cedar Creek Church for nearly seventy years. When she first joined Cedar Creek, it was probably still German Presbyterian and known as Appi Fonnn, but later it became Methodist. She died at the home of her daughter Frances Hendrix in Fairfield County and is buried in the old Pine Grove Baptist Church Cemetery. George Souter was buried in the now desecrated Souter graveyard near the mouth of Williams Branch.
