Catherine D. Chandler

Catherine Chandler was born 1824 in Louisiana to James and Elizabeth Norwood. Her dad died when she was 9. Her mom had help with raising her and her siblings by her father's sister Catherine and her husband Elias Norwood.

She married first William Boone 10 June 1841 in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. They had a son William. This husband, William died prior to 1850 and Catherine moved, with her son to her Aunt Catherine's household. Catherine then married James Lawrence Satterfield 16 January 1853 in E. Feliciana Parish, Louisiana.

In May of 1853 James and Ctherine went to court and requested a family meeting to discuss the support of her son William Boone. This is a practice in this part of the United States. Family members come together to make decisions on how to pay for the rearing of orphaned child or children that have the father die. This family meeting (1,2) was made up of Catherine, her new husband James, two of her Norwood cousins, Edward Story, Samuel Dunbar, her sisters husband, and William Hamilton.

Catherine had two children with James; Clara and Isaiah Norwood. Clara and Catherine both died before 1870
