Note: N128 John Merriell’s notes indicate conflicting information. In one place he lists Katherine having married a Mr. Everett Lawrence and giving birth to a daughter. But the divorce records of her parents (1882) lists only 2 minor children, Anna and Adele. In another place he says Katie May died at age 10 when Adele was 12 years old.
It seems clear that Katie May died and the note regarding marriage to Everett Lawrence is an error. This was derived from the Brewster Genealogy by William McCray Brewster, 1977, which, while a wonderful source, nevertheless has errors.

“Kate was (probably) not Katherine but Katie May. She died in Aug 1881 which was after John (her father) left home.”
- from a letter written by John McCray Merriell to Nancy Eberle Dec 21, 1984 -
The 1900 Census record for Rebecca Wilson Johnson Rose indicates she had had 4 children, 2 who were living at that time.
