She is the paternal granddaughter of John Pittman & Catherine Jones of Halifax County; and the maternal granddaughter of Reddin Pittman & Martha Bryant/Bryan of Edgecombe. She is a direct descendant (on both sides of her family tree) to the Pittman family patriarch, Thomas Pittman Sr. of Monmuthshire, England who arrived in the Virginia Colonies around 1630.
Her mother died in 1861, just a year after giving birth to Kate's sister, Minerva Pittman. When she was 8 years old, her widowed father remarried to Mary "Eliza" Battle, widow of William Francis Dancy of Tarboro. For the next six years, Kate was raised by her father and stepmother, along with Minerva, Frank Battle Dancy (from her stepmother's first marriage), and two more children (Eliza Battle Pittman and Cornelia Bradford Pittman) would be born after her father remarried.
Kate died in 1873, just one month before her 14th birthday. The elaborate monument was erected in Calvary as a lasting remembrance.
