Catherine was born 22 Aug 1797 in Somerset County, PA. She married John Spacht on 2 Apr 1820 in PA. She and John lived in Hancock County, Ohio, where she died on 5 Feb 1892. She was a member of the Brethren Church in Ohio. This information in verified by the Spacht family Bible. I know that she is NOT the daughter of George Ball Custer and Catherine Leatherman. I have George Custer's will and his daughter Catherine (born in 1792) married Samuel Littlel. So whose daughter is she? Can anyone help? ------------------------ Search the Archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/BRETHREN ------------------------ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BRETHREN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
