I believe Catherine Griggs was the daughter of Simon Griggs and Letitia Brevoort although I was not aware that she was born in Schoharie.(See Simon Griggs in the 1790 New York census.)
Simon was the son of Abraham Griggs and Sarah Schut.Letitia was the daughter of Henry Brevoort.
The only surrounding evidence to bear this outis that Samuel and Catherine Mott named their oldest daughter Latitia.(Spelling used on Family Search entry)
In the 1810 census, Henry Brevoort appears to be living next to Samuel Mott Jr.This would be Catherine's grandfather.Henry's death is listed as 1820 in the Alburgh cemetery list.
You would also be interested in looking at the Griggs Steele Pioneer Cemetery in Noyan,Quebec.Trhee of Catherine's younger siblings died and were buried there.
