Biographical Notes

Joseph Wickham Case wrote, "Kate, a slave of my grandfather, Lieut. Moses Case, who was born about 1730 and died at the age of 90, said that when she was a girl she knew several Indian families living around the Necks,—especially one named Youpsag, who had her hut in the squaw lot at Southarbor." From Southold Town Records Volume 2, page 535.

Catherine's husband was Cesar (#1739), enslaved servant of Zaccheus Goldsmith. He was the probably father of all her known children—Enos (#1741), Jason (#1745), Limus (#1743), and Festus (#1744).
