I found Catherine's mother's will yesterday on the internet. I didn't know her mother had an illigitimate child named Hanna. Catherine
s daughter Sarah Westfall drowned in the Swatara River when she was in her 30's. Sarah was my 5th great grandmother. She probably had photos and documents that drowned with her.
