Catherine Getzen-Danner was the daughter of Thomas George & Amelia Stokes Getzen-Danner of Union District, South Carolina.
She was married 3 times. First to Benjamin Saunders about 1826 in Union County, South Carolina and bore him a daughter, Katherine Saunders, who died of Typhus at the age of 13 years, 1 month, & 25 days (1827-1840). Her husband, Benjamin, died before the birth of their daughter.
Catherine then married a 2nd time to Farr Bates in about 1827 and bore him 2 sons, Fair Humphrey Bates and Thomas B. Bates. Her husband Farr, died before 1850.
[Note: A correction received 20 Mar 2015 from Cheryl Wheat Luginbill, a direct descendant of the Bates family, has written me the following:
"Hello, I am related to the Bates family. Catherine married Farr Bates sometime after 2 Jun 1830. She did not marry Humphrey Bates, to whom she is now linked on Find-A-Grave. That was Farr Bates' father! His dates are wrong on his gravestone, and I've asked the person who has Humphrey's memorial to correct them. They should read 1760 - 12 April 1804, which is when Humphrey Bates of Union Co., SC died. I have his probate records which prove that date.
Farr Bates, husband of Catherine Getzen-Danner, was born about 1790 in Union Co., SC, and he died about 1841. He is found on the 1840 Union Co., SC census with his wife and two sons, but he must have died sometime later that year or early the next year because I have found a reference to his death which says: 'Farr Bates died about 1840, leaving widow Catherine, and children, Farr and Thomas.' This reference is in the Newberry Co., SC History and Genealogy Annals by G. L. Summer, published 1950.
So far, no gravestone for Farr Bates has been located..."]
Catherine married a third time to Robert W. Browning and headed toward Texas shortly after their wedding. Catherine's sons Fair Bates and Thomas Bates preceded the procession by about a week as they were in charge of the wagons, the cattle, and the slaves. When Catherine and husband, Robert Browning reached the Mississippi River at Rodney, Jefferson County, Mississippi, Catherine took ill and died within a few hours of Cholera.
Catherine was buried in Rodney, where incidently there was a Presbyterian Church that was established in 1832.
