More about Kathryn:
Cass Blackstone had 9 children. She was never married.
On Kathryn's tombstone her name is spelled Kathrin Blackstone. The dates are 1844 - 1928.  The birth year appears to be wrong. In Documents such as Census' etc., her name is spelled Catherine Blackston. But, it is and was spelled Kathryn.

 1860: US Census Walker County, Alabama  (Gap Post Office)
 Cathrine age 8. in household of her parents, George and Lucinda Blackston.

 1861 September:  Kathryn's parents lived in an area of Tuscaloosa County that later became part of Walker County, Alabama. Many of the records for this area have been lost, and makes research VERY frustrating.

 1870: Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. (source: Minutes of Black Warrior Baptist Church)...
Kathrin is not found in any Census record for this year. The 1870 Census of Tuscaloosa County where they lived is missing, maybe the records got destroyed.

September 1871: Cathern Blackston recieved into fellowship of Black Warrior Baptist Church by Baptizm.

April 1872: brought up on charges of "Dancing in Church." Black Warrior Baptist Church.
