User:Geo Swan/Catherine Weisenberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Catherine Weisenberg (c. 1723–1759) was a Germano-British woman best known from her time in colonial New York Province. Weisenberg was born to parents from the German Palatinate, the British King's German possessions. She may have been born in Germany, herself.

She came to New York as an indentured servant, and was bound to a pair of brothers. She had a relationship with William Johnson, a provincial official in the Mohawk River valley. She lived with him, and bore him at least three children, from 1739, until her death in 1759.
