her brother Reason Ragan returned from Illinois Territory about 1809. He had
run away from home earlier and had married in Kentucky. He and his wife moved
on to settle in Illinois Territory and he wanted Catherine "Caty" to return
there with him, which she did.

Catherine "Caty" lived with her brother Reason and sister-in-law Rachel in the
Wood River community of Madison County, Illinois Territory. She was there when
her brother's family was massacred by Indians on Sunday, 10 July 1814. She was
not feeling well and had remained with Rachel's sister instead of going with
Rachel and the children.

Then her brother lost his life while pursuing the Indians after the massacre
occurred. The records show Catherine "Caty" gave bond for administering the
estate of her brother Reason Ragan. The County Court of Madison County,
Illinois Territory appointed her as one of several administrators for her
brother's estate.

Catherine "Caty" died in Walkerville Township and was buried in the Hunnicut
Cemetery.
