Katherine Evans is of unknown descent. She was born in 1715 in county Tyrone, Ireland and died in 1808 in Fayette County, Kentucky. She was buried at Mt. Pisgah Church in Fayette County, Kentucky.
After her husband was killed, she may have married Robert Endicott.
Katherine had several misfortunes; she had had both legs and both arms broken, a darning needle run through her foot and taken out at the instep, and one eye knocked out by a baboon. The animal threw a stone at a man who was teasing it and he, to protect himself, jumped behind her.
