I don't know where she was born but her husband's (Peter McDonald) Rev War records indicated that they were married in 1782 in Berkely or Hampshire County, Virginia...now West Virginia. Estimated birth for Catherine...1762. After the Rev War they settled in Jefferson County, Ky where six of their children were born: Mary 1784, John 1785, Sarah 1787, James Madison 1789, Catherine 1791, Daniel 1793. They then moved across the Ohio River to Clark County, Indiana where five more children were born: Elizabeth 1795, Rachel 1798, Parmelia 1800, David 1803, and Peter 1806. Catherine Wise McDonald died 1841 in Clark Co., Indiana. Peter McDonald died in Charlestown, Clark Co., Indiana in 1825. Catherine Wise McDonald in my farthest female ancestor. I felt sure that she must be from the German Wise family here in Frederick Co., MD...but I have had my complete mtDNA done and find more matches in Ireland, England and Scotland then Germany.
