Katherine [Catharine] married and died of renal disease Goodman’s Style [Stile]....Anne married a Mr. Kane and the pair went out to Austria...Elizabeth married a builder...My brother Fredrick was a builder...William died a few years ago...Henry I have lost the run of...I have never seen any of the children of any soon after.
