Notes - Catherine was a "zelous Quaker Minister". Her husband, known as Big George Robinson was not born a Quaker. This caused some concern when she married him. They first declared their intention of marriage on the 3rd day, 1st mo, 1687 at tark/Kennett Monthly Meeting in what was then Pennsylvania When they declared it a second time on the 7th day, 2 mo, 1688, friends asked them to wait to marry as they were still uncertain of it. This normally would have been the meeting where they would have been given consent. They again asked for consent on the 4th mo, 1688 and members were appointed to inquire of them on these intentions. The 5th mo, 1688, the meeting finally gave their consent. They finally married athe the monthly meeting held at Catherine's father's house on the 11th mo, 5th day, 1688. They had six children. Eli Jay has her listed as the d. of Valentine and Ann Calvert. That is because he has the marriage date of these two a decade earlier than most other sources. (C-1546, 2169E)
