Notes
Birth
Catharine was 15 to 19 in the 1840 census (born 1821 to 1825).
She was 37 in the 1850 census (born 1813).
She was 36 in the 1860 census (born 1824).
She was 45 in the 1870 census (born 1825).
The 1840, 1860, and 1870 censuses are consistent so the 1850 census is being eliminated. Her birthdate is estimated to be 1824 to 1825.
Catharine's father George Helman had one female under 10 in the 1820 census and one female 5 thru 9 and one female 10 thru 14 in the 1830 census. His daughter Elizabeth was married to George Shaffer and his daughter Catharine was married to Beatty McMillen. George Sheaffer and Beaty McMillen were living next to each other in Plumcreek Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania in the 1840 census. George's wife Elizabeth was 20 to 29 in the 1840 census. Beatty's wife Catharine was 15 to 19 in the 1840 census. Therefore, Elizabeth was the oldest daughter and Catharine was the youngest.
