Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/St_Leger-13

There is no surviving record of Katherine's birth. She was a daughter of Sir Warham St Leger of Leeds Castle, Kent, and Mary Hayward, daughter of Sir Rowland Hayward of London. Katherine was baptised 7 October 1608 at Broomfield, Kent.[1]

Her father's mother, Mary Scott, had married as her 2nd husband Sir Alexander Culpeper of Greenway Court. He refers to Katherine in his will as "the grandchild of my wife, whom I therefore call daughter". (But see note on Culpeper-63.)

She married Sir Alexander's nephew and heir, Thomas Culpeper, on 10 July 1628 in All Saints Church at Ulcombe, Kent.[2]. He was the son of John Culpeper Esq. and Ursla (Woodcock)

They had three sons: Sir John, John (gent) and Alexander. They also had three daughters: Mary, Anne and Frances.

Accounts of their Colonial careers are confused - the true story has yet to be elucidated.

Katherine was presumably widowed before she died, since administration of her estate was granted to her son in August 1658.
