PARENTS
OF SARAH ANN CATOR
(wife of Charles CORNELIUS COLISON)
George
Benjamin and Louisa Burgess Cator
Louisa Burgess
married George "Benjamin"
Cator* in Anne Arundel County in Maryland on Feb 6, 1835, when she was
approximately 21 years old. His age is not yet known to us. It
is interesting to note that her death certificate lists Louisa as being born in
PGC, MD.
*Per
Anne Arundel Genealogical Society on
5/18/2005: "In Anne Arundel County, Maryland Marriage Records
1777-1877 by John W. Powell (Pasadena, MD: AA Gen Soc, 1991), p. 20, there is a
marriage license dated 6 Feb 1835 for Benjamin Cator and Louisa Burgess. This is
the only license listed for a Benjamin Cator between 1777-1877. The only other
Cator in these records is Thomas Cator and Lydia A. Neale (listed on Cator
Tidbits webpage) obtaining a license 15 Dec 1866. It was not unusual for
Prince George’s County residents to go across the Patuxent River to Anne
Arundel County for a marriage license. Louisa’s family was of Anne Arundel
County. The Cator family seems to have resided in PG Co."
The
Burgess family resided on South River in Anne Arundel County since colonial
times and were members of the All Hallow's Parish in Davidsonville since the
1696 Act of Establishment made the Protestant Episcopal the "official
church" of Maryland and charged the ministers with the duty of recording
vital records in the parish registers.

CHILDREN
OF BENJAMIN AND LOUISA CATOR:
1)
SARAH
ANNE CATOR
born on April 3rd in 1836 in Maryland. Married
Charles C.
Colison
May 16, 1872. She died 12 Dec 1932 in Washington,
DC. Louisa
is evidently buried at Glenwood Cemetery near her daughter Sarah A. Cator
Colison.
2)
JOHN
CHARLES CATOR born
in Feb
15 1838;
Christened All Hallows Parish
Feb 15 1838 (same day
???) in Anne Arundel County, MD.
3)
JANE
ELIZABETH CATOR, born one year later
almost to the day, Feb
12 1839.
Christened Mar 31 1839 at All Hallows Parish, in AA County, MD.
Married George F.
Timms in Aug
20 1864.
Per her death
certificate, Jane Elizabeth Cator Timms died September 25, 1912 at 72 years of
age. She died at 646 B Street, SW, in Washington, DC. Her husband
was still living at the time of her death. Jane
lived in DC for 60 years...since 1852! Louisa and Sarah did not more to DC
until 1860!
I think the part of being in DC for 60 years is
important, if true. It would mean she came in 1852, which would be before
Louisa and Sarah, who's death certificate's say they were there since 1860.
4)
MARY ELIZA CATOR,
born May
1844. in
Maryland*. Married Washington Cook Sanderson on
Dec 16 1869. Mary Eliza died on May 16 1926. He died on March 7
1909. Both were buried at Loudon Park Cemetery in Baltimore.
*
Per her death certificate,
Mary Cator Sanderson is listed as being born on May 30 1842, instead of, as
listed on Census records, May 1844. At the time of her death she was living at
Homewood Apts. in Baltimore City, Ward 12, as was her daughter. She was a
Baltimore resident for 75 years, since age 9!
1850 CENSUS, Spauldings, Prince
George's, MD. Pg 103; Roll M432_295: Louisa Cator and her daughter JANE
are living with the Methodist
Minister's family (Rev. Thomas
McGee b. 1795 PA; R. McGee, wife, b. 1795 in PA; son George R. McGee b
1839 MD). JANE
is 9 years old and Louisa is
35. Louisa's husband is not listed with the family
Jean
Colison found a Thomas McGee living in Baltimore City, 11th Ward, 1860
Maryland Census, LOUISA P. CATOR was also listed in same
Census and in same ward. Different pages - not living together, but
in same area. That same year, 1860, McGee died. We know that Louisa
was a widow in 1860...or before. The Methodist Conference Museum has a
"memoir" on Thomas McGee's death: It tells of
his birth in PA and becoming and M E preacher ... Upon his death he was on
the way to Baltimore with his wife to consult a doctor about his poor
health. He supposedly died of a heart attack. No name of wife
or children mentioned" in the memoir. Also of note: Thomas
McGee was on the Charles Circuit at Pisgah, in Charles Co.
Per the 1890 DC City
Directory, Louisa
Cator was the widow of
Benjamin
Cator, and lived at 825 SW 6th Street which is the same address as
listed in the 1880 Census (see below). Additional proof that Louisa
Burgess married Benjamin Cator and they became the parents of Sarah A., John
Charles, Jane Elizabeth. and Mary Eliza Cator.

JANE
ELIZABETH CATOR was born 12 Feb 1839 in
Maryland; died
1912; buried
in
Glenwood Cemetery, Section C, Lot 108
right next to mother Louisa Cator and sister Sarah Cator Colison and her
family. Jane's husband George purchased the lot but neither he nor their son
Cook is buried there.. She married GEORGE
F. TIMMS in August
20, 1864 in DC. George was
born in March 1844 in Virginia (born to VA born parents). This is the
notation in the family bible:
Their children were:
1) MARY ANTONETTE TIMMS,
b. 09 Jul 1865, Washington DC;
died 1879; buried
in
Glenwood Cemetery, Section C, Lot 108.
2) CHARLES BUSHROD TIMMS,
b. 25 Jan 1869, Washington DC;
died 1937; buried
Glenwood Cem., Section C, Lot 108. Note:
In his will written in 1922, 15 years before his death, Charles Bushrod
Timms left $50 to the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church and the
remainder to his fiancée, ANNA JORG. He died before he was
able to marry for the first time at age 68 or so.
3) COOK SANDERSON TIMMS,
b. 13 Mar 1871, Washington DC;
died 1880.
In the 1890 Washington DC City Directory George F. Timms
was listed as living at 646 B southwest
with an occupation of "clothing" "clerk."
In the
1900 Census for DC District 84, Jane
Elizabeth Cator Timms and George Timms boarded at 646 B Street SW, DC. They were
listed as:
- George F. Timms,
Boarder, white male, b. March 1844, age 56, m. 34 years, born in VA
to VA-born parents.
-
Jane E. Timms, Boarder, white female, born Feb 1840, age 60, married 34

- Charles Timms, Boarder, white
male, born Jan 1869 ( or maybe 64), age 31, Single, Clerk, Express Company,
born in DC to VA born dad/MD born mom.
In
the 1930 Census for Charles Timms b 1869, son
of George Timms and Jane Cator, Jean found that Jane has had 3
children with only one living -- that would be Charles. He was 61 and
single in the 1930 census. Jane and George's children, Mary Antonette b
1865 and Cook Sanderson Timms b 1871 both died before 1900. They still
could have had families.
1930
DC District 393 Federal Census for Charles Timms (3906 Morrison Street,
DC):
Jean found a Washington Post article dated October 22, 1904 in
which Charles Timms was listed as an officer of Eldbrook Methodist Church's
Epworth League. Family stories say that the Derrick family
"owned" Eldbrook Methodist Church, meaning they were all very active
there.

MARY
ELIZA
CATOR,
born May 1844 in MD. She married
WASHINGTON "COOK"
SANDERSON
16 Dec 1869 in Baltimore, MD, where
they lived.
He was born in MD. Cook and Mary had a
daughter E. Louise
Sanderson, born Oct
1880. E. Louise grew to marry Arthur
Fredrick Booze who was born 10 years earlier than she was.
Washington Cook Sanderson and Mary Eliza Cator married
on December 16th in 1869
in Baltimore and had two daughters and
another child, but no information known on sex or name of this additional child.
The Booze family was
reportedly wealthy. Cook
died on March 7, 1909 and Mary died May 16, 1926. From
the Loundon Park Cemetery Records in Baltimore, Jean learned that W. Cook
Sanderson was buried there on March 8, 1909 and Mary was buried there on
May 18, 1926. They are both in Section 121 N 1/2.
This is their family bible wedding notation:
1870 Census Baltimore MD Ward 20: This indicates that he went by name
"Cook" and his wife by "Mary." They have an Ella
Sanderson, age 20, living with them, but is not their
daughter.

Mary Cator Sanderson attended this church,
as did Louisa when she visited daughter, Mary
Their daughter Eva L Sanderson joined the
church February 25, 1887, by pastor E Todd.
Note: Eva Edmondson,
her married name, is mentioned in the records.
A Lula Sanderson was alsobaptized here in the 1890s.

1900 US Federal Census Baltimore District

Jean found that Washington
Sanderson and Mary have been married 30 years in 1900 and
he works as a merchant. Their daughter Louisa is living with them
and is 19 years old (born October 1880). This Census states that
Washington was born in September 1845 and is 54 years old; Mary born May
1844 and is 56 years old. They have had 3 children, of which 2 are
still living.
Note: Mary and Cook
Sanderson moved from 906 N Arlington St to 2000 Baton Ave, no date.
1900 Census Baltimore City Ward 1, Maryland; Roll:

born June 1870 in Maryland, 29 and Single. William S. Booze is a physician
while Walter and Arthur are clerks for the US Government.
1910 US Federal Census Baltimore District
233, Ward 14, Bellaire Apt House, 2101 Madison Avenue, NE, by Bloom
Street, Apt. 5a: Jean found that Mary is alone as
"Head of Household" in the 1910 Census as Washington Cook died
in March of 1909. Mary evidently had 3 children, 2 of whom are
living. Mary and Louise are listed as having their "own income"
and William W. Edmondson is listed as a "wholesale..." Eva has
