Re: John George Tabler/Catherine Easterday

I contacted a very knowledgeable Easterday researcher who has great documentation.He has been trying to find the true identity of Catherine Kronin Tabler for several years.The records he found show that Catherine's father was Conrad Crone. She is mentioned in his will.Another source I've seen shows that she is the daughter of Henry Kronin.Many family trees name Catherine Kronin Tabler as a daughter of Christian Easterday. That information comes from the 1804 will of Christian Easterday which mentions his daughter, Catherine Tabler.Apparently someone assumed that the Catherine Tabler mentioned in the Easterday will was the wife of John George Tabler. Unfortunately many of us, myself included, have taken that assumption to be fact.The above mentioned researcher has been unable to discover to whom Catherine Easterday Tabler was married. In an Easterday family history written by Wesley Noah Wachter, the list of Christian's children was a little different than the names in his will.The family history did not show a Catherine.Instead there was a Margaret.She is possibly the Ann Margaret who married William Tabler.
