Biography

Mary (Morgan) Catt was born in Sussex, England.

Mary Morgan was baptised at East Grinstead, Sussex on 23 July 1682. Her parents were Nicholas Morgan and Mary Yeomans. ^[1]

Mary Morgan married John Catt, both of Ewhurst, on 4th June 1711 at All Saints, Mountfield, Sussex, England.^{[2] [3]}

Mary and John Catt had seven children, although there is considerable doubt about Samuel's existence.

1. John Catt b. 1712
2. Stephen Catt b. 1714
3. Solomon Catt b. 1715
4. Elizabeth Catt b. 1719 d. 1720
5. Mary Catt b. 1721 d. 1723
6. Samuel Catt b. 1724
7. John Catt b. 1728

Mary Catt died in 1762 and was buried on 1st June 1762 at Westfield, Sussex, England. ^[4]

Research Notes

Others had her christening on 29th August 1692 at Woolbeding, Sussex, England, the daughter of Edward and Frances Morgan. ^[5]This is unlikely to be this Mary Morgan. Woolbeding is a long way from Ewhurst.

Tony Cairns records on "The Weald" has John and Mary marrying at St James and St Mark, Ewhurst, Sussex. Mandy Willard suggested on her now defunct website, "John Catt and Mary Morgan may have married in 1711. A marriage licence was issued on 4 June 1711 by the Archdeaconry of Lewes. It recorded that John was a yeoman of Ewhurst, Sussex. However, there is an entry in the Sussex marriage index that notes the banns were published in Mountfield, Sussex in June 1711 between John Catt of Ewhurst and Mary Morgan."
