Catherine was the youngest daughter of Thomas Sandy and Sarah Bush. She was one of six siblings and born when her father was 28 and her mother was 40. She was born in Owen County, Indiana, where her father was a farmer.
On the 9th of Aug 1847, Catherine (supposedly) married the recently widowed, Casper Lingle. There is no doubt they married, but some confusion in the date Casper's first wife, Matilda Ratts, died, the date he remarried and the date (and mother) of Thomas' oldest son's birth.
Suffice it to say Casper had been married no more than two years when his first wife died, and he married Catherine Sandy soon after. Perhaps Catherine became the step-mother of Casper's motherless son, John Simeon. Or perhaps John Simeon is her son, born very shortly before (or after) her marriage to Casper. No doubt one of the recorded dates is incorrect and the confusion may some day be cleared up.
Casper was a farmer in Morgan County Indiana. He and Catherine were still in there early twenties when they set up house together. They raised five sons:
John Simeon Lingle 1847 – 1886
William Alfred Lingle 1849 – 1915
James Alexander Lingle 1853 – 1900
Jeremiah Sandy Lingle 1855 – 1939
Thomas Lincoln Lingle 1866 – 1942
In the early years of their marriage they remained in Morgan County, living with Casper's recently widowed mother. In fact it is possible that their farm had been his parents' family home.
Sometime after 1855 the family moved west to Missouri. It was a popular move at the time and several of Casper's siblings had moved west before him. In 1860, Casper and Catherine were farming in Scotland County, Jefferson Twp, Missouri on the eve of the Civil War.
A decade later the family was back farming in Morgan County, Indiana, seemingly no worse for wear. I've found no record of Casper doing military service during the Civil war, but the name of their youngest son, Thomas Lincoln in 1866, should give some indication of the family's political leanings.
Catherine and Casper remained on their farm in Morgan County for the rest of Catherine's life, with most of her sons and their families established nearby.
She passed away 9 Sep 1882, at the age of 57. Cause of death is not known.
