Individual Details
CATHERINE MARR
(Abt 1711 - Aft 1783)
Genealogies of Virginia Families from Tyler's Quarterly, GPC, Baltimore, 1981, reprinted 2007, p.617, concerning John Marr, states that in the Bradford Bible, John Marr's daughter Mary married Thomas Kingcart, Jr. and secondly, John Bradford. Mary was "sister to Daniel Marr's grandfather and sister of the grandmother of Benjamin Hardin, a member of Congress from Kentucky". Daniel Marr, died 1826, was a grandson of Daniel Marr who died in 1753. Congressman Benjamin Hardin, born Westmoreland Co VA, 1784, was a son of Benjamin Hardin who married his first cousin, Sarah Hardin, sister of Col. John Hardin. Col. John Hardin & Sarah were children of Martin and Mary (Waters) Hardin. Congressman Benjamin Hardin's father Benjamin was a son of Maj. John Hardin - brother of Martin. Therefore, it would seem indeed that Mary's sister was married to Maj. John Hardin and deeds state his wife was Catherine.
Although Catherine is seen as the daughter of John Marr and Elizabeth Fishback, she was probably the child of an earlier wife of John Marr. She is last recorded in a deed dated 9 May 1780 and a Fayette Co PA tax list in 1783. (Note: I have not found this deed, nor do I believe she would have been listed in a tax list as a married woman) She possibly died before her husband moved to Kentucky. She was not living at the time of Maj. John's will.
