Catherine was likely the daughter of George Williams and Nancy Newhouse, named after her grandmother Catherine VanPelt Newhouse. Catherine's family moved from Washington County, Virginia to Franklin County, Indiana Territory in 1811.

Catherine was thought to be referenced in a 1914 bio sketch of Noah Sandifur and Mary Williams from The History of Miami Co. Indiana:

"In September 1821, he (Noah Sandifur) was married in Fayette county, Indiana, to Miss Mary Williams, a native of Virginia and a daughter of George and Nancy (Newhouse) Williams. Mr. Williams was also a pioneer farmer of Franklin county, whence he came probably as early as 1820, clearing a tract of land and establishing a comfortable home for his children, who were, as far as is known, Mary, John, Isaac, Sarah and James, a daughter who married a Mr. Wilson, and another who married a Mr. Walker."

The reference to "a daughter who married a Mr. Wilson" is thought to be Catherine.

Catherine married William Wilson on 23 Dec 1813 in Franklin County, Indiana. Catherine died two days after giving birth to her son Eli Adams Wilson.

Children of Catherine and William Wilson:
*Eli Adams Wilson, 1815-1899, m. Mary Sheffer, m. Rachel Thorne
