Having only recently broken through a brick wall and discovered my Catlin ancestors,
I'm not all that familiar with all the names. None of the ones you mention have
cropped up so far, but it's "early days".
I am intrigued that your last name is Shipman, since the Norris Catlin who may be
Miranda's father married Betsey Shipman who died in Lincklaen 14 Feb 1848 at age 62.
Buried next to her in the cemetery are Abner Shipman b. 12 Jan 1759 and d. 6 Sep 1832, and
his wife (at least on the same stone) Margery Avery b. Jan 11, 1757, no death date given.
Her parents, perhaps?
The Catlin names I've identified so far are children of Elisha and Roxanna (Dewey)
Catlin: Eli, Norris, Florilla, Orrin, Sheldon, Alonzo, Sophia Maria. All were born
between 1784 and 1807, the first three at least were born in Harwinton, Litchfield, CT.
Elisha and his brother Jesse were among the first settlers of Lincklaen (German, at the
time they got there about 1797).
Thank you for your response!
