(Catherine Thomas Cleaton Rainey's grave marker clearly has 1781 on her grave marker, but it does say "CIRCA." Others have suggested that her birth date was actually 1791. If she was born in 1791, her first child, Ann, would have been born when Catherine was 20, and last, Rebecca, at the age of 38. These are very reasonable ages. If Catherine was born 1781, she would have had these children between 30 and 48. While these ages are possible, they are less likely.)
