Catharine Parrott was the dau of Rev. War veteran, John Parrott and his 2nd wife, Louise "Lucy" Bean. Catharine
married George Hershel Hughes, in Parrottsville, Cocke Co.,
TN, 24 June 1825. Their 3 children, Harriett B., William Fletcher, and James Monroe, were all born in Parrottsville.
The family then appears in the Cole Co., MO, census of 1830.

After her husband, George Hershel Hughes, died, Catharine
went to live with her daughter, Harriett Williams, in
Wheatland, Hickory Co., MO, where she died on 23 Oct 1864.
Catharine was buried in the Williams Bend Cemetery, on the farm of the late Jim Williams, about 8 miles NE of Wheatland, Hickory Co. In the 1980s or '90s, two Hughes cousins
visited the cemetery, found it in great disrepair, with
Catharine's headstone fallen over, and they removed her
headstone only to the Turkey Creek Chapel Cemetery in Warsaw,
where it would be near her son William Fletcher Hughes
and other family members.
