She was the daughter of Timothy and Elizabeth Trigg Reagan, married Davis Carter on 26 May 1815 in Madison County, Illinois.

Catherine "Caty" Reagan came with her parents as a baby to Sevier County, Tennessee in late 1795. She was living with her parents in Sevier County when her brother Reason Ragan returned from Illinois Territory about 1809. He had
run away from home earlier and had married in Kentucky. He and his wife moved on to settle in Illinois Territory and he wanted Catherine "Caty" to return there with him, which she did.

Catherine "Caty" lived with her brother Reason and sister-in-law Rachel in the Wood River community of Madison County, Illinois Territory. She was there when her brother's family was massacred by Indians on Sunday, 10 July 1814. She was not feeling well and had remained with Rachel's sister instead of going with Rachel and the children.

Then her brother lost his life while pursuing the Indians after the massacre occurred. The records show Catherine "Caty" gave bond for administering the
estate of her brother Reason Ragan. The County Court of Madison County, Illinois Territory appointed her as one of several administrators for her brother's estate.

Catherine "Caty" died in Walkerville Township, Greene County, Illinois and was buried in the Hunnicut
Cemetery.
