There are two Catherine Gorsuch listed as being buried in Know County Ohio on findagrave.com.
One, Catherine Ely Gorsuch is given as being born November 1810 in Northumberland County, PA and died December 05, 1852. Her husband is Jacob Gorsuch. If she was born November 1810, This person fits the data given in the profile here. However, then her mother was about 14 years of age when giving birth to her. Also on findagrave.com she is given as marrying Jacob Gorsuch in 1850 when she was 40 years of age.
The second Catherine Gorsuch listed as geing buried in Knox County Ohio was born in 1824 and died 1895. Her husband is Issac Gorsuch. Her birth date is appropiate for her mother giving birth to her in her late 20s.

Can you post links for the profiles, if they're on Geni? I would be happy to try to figure things out.

Tammy,
Thank you for trying to figurie this out.
Catherine Ely Gorsuch does not have a profile on Geni. She is listed on findagrave.com in Knox County Ohio. The same county in Ohio where Catherine Gorsuch is buried.
I do not know if either of these two women is the daughter of Elizabeth Carpenter Lybarger and I suppose if I took the time I could figure it out, but it at this time is not a high priority for me.

I can't find anything online to match either Catherine. I found Catherine Lybarger Gorsuch on find a grave with different dates than the profile I have on Geni, married to John Gorsuch. Her parents match. So I changed her profile, and her husband. I can't find Catherine Ely Gorsuch any place. Can you post a link for her find a grave entry?

I found another profile for Catherine Lybarger Gorsuch that matched, so I've merged them.

Tammy,
Thank you very much. I think that you did it. Your Catherine Lybarger Gorsuch is on FIndagrave.com in Delavare County Ohio. She has the right parents and her birthday is such that Elizabeth Carpenter Lybarger is old enough. So looks good. You are very good, much better than myself.
