I’m not having much luck reconciling citations to come up with parents for Catern ‘Katherine’ Ashman wife of Robert Ashman
Before giving up, anyone want to take a crack at it?

Her maiden name has not been found, but it is suggestive of Dutch origin.
Perhaps they were Francis Jeacockes, Sr. & Grace Jeacockes Thomas Jeacox was her brother:
Sister or sister in law to Thomas Jeacox?

And also her son in law (?).
"Thomas Jacocks, Sr. son of Francis Jeacockes, Sr. bapt. 20 March 1619 at Stratford-on-Avon, d. at Passyunk, m. [[Ruth Jacocks Ruth Jacocks] Ruth] Ashman (b. 1656), dau. of Robert Ashman
Alternatively, her parents were Susan Armitage & Thomas Armitage
But … Then follows testimony, 3 June, 1656 -- ‘Robert Ashman said nine years back he was bound for James Pine to Thomas Armitage his father-in-law, for L30 which he intended to give his son Manasses, so that his wife should not have his estate and deprive his son. …”
“There are some Ancestral Files that give Catherine Jeacockes as Robert Ashmun’s wife, and some genealogies, but Torrey says she was Catherine Armitage. I haven’t seen any evidence that she was either one -- though I have seen what both these ‘guesses’ are based on. Probate records named her as Katrina, and she apparently lived until about 1707, since that is when the estate was finally distributed.” (Joanna Ashum, Ashman Genforum database, #13, 23 Jan 2000).
