My research indicates that Catherine "Kitty" Parr was born about 1792 in Morgan,
Wilkes, NC, (not Moravinton) and died about 1878 in Chatfield, Navarro, TX. 10 Feb 1820,
she married Philip T Beddo in Kingston, Roane, TN. Catherine is the daugher of John Parr,
born 14 Jun 1759 in Roxbury, Morris, NJ and died 07 Sep 1850 in Greenwood, Johnson, IN.
John's wife was Mary ULN according to Wilkes County church records.
John Parr is my third great grandfather. He and brother Matthias were practically
"joined at the hip" from their childhood days in NJ. They both served in the Rev
War and both moved back to NJ for a couple of years after the war before moving to Wilkes
CO, NC. Then on to Roane, TN > Shelby, IN > Johnson, IN.
I believe Matthias fathered nine children and Catherine was not among them. There is only
one male we are not sure about, at this point - and there is some sensitive information
surrounding him. John fathered eight children that I know of, and Catherine was the fifth
child and third daughter. There is a Roane CO record listing several of the weddings of
John and Matthias's children.
