CATHERINE KAY [2], daughter of James Kay and Grace Elgin, was
born on 29 March 1785, perhaps in Prince William County, Virginia
or Ninety Six District, South Carolina. The place of her birth is
unknown since it is not proven where her parents were in 1785.
Her parents are said to have been in South Carolina by 1785 but
again this is not proven. One of Catherine Kay's children, James
Marion Latimer, on the 1880 census stated that his mother was
born in South Carolina.
In 1801 (Abbeville Press and Banner) she married Dr. James
Latimer, who was born in Maryland on 25 Nov 1780, the son of
Benjamin Latimer and Arcaiah McConshie (or Machanie). Benjamin
Latimer was a Revolutionary Veteran and many later generations
have entered the DAR or SAR through him. He died in Maryland in
1784/5. After his death Arcajah McConshie Latimer married Robert
Elgin on 19 June 1785. Robert Elgin moved back to South Carolina
with his new wife and Latimer step-children, settling near the
Kays before 1800. Catherine Kay and James Latimer were,
therefore, childhood acquaintances.
Catherine Kay Latimer, her husband James Latimer, and her
brother Rev. James Kay Witnessed the will of Caty Elgin in
Abbeville on 12 Dec 1828. Catherine and Dr. James Latimer lived
on Hogskin Creek in Abbeville County. Through their property ran
a road known as Ball's Road, and later as Keowee Road. An early
crossing of Hogskin Creek was known as "Latimer's Ford". Perhaps
this property was part of the land granted to her father in 1794
We cannot find any reference as to Dr. James Latimer's medical
training, or if in fact he was a medical doctor.
Catherine Kay Latimer died in 1838 and James Latimer in
about 1840. Both are buried in the Shirley family cemetery onthe
Elmer Branyon farm, south of Keowee church in Abbeville County,
South Carolina . Markers have been placed there in recent years
to their memory (catherine 1785-1838; James 1780-1840) (Ref.
Wylma Jane Latimer Jolly of Joaquin, Tex. and Conrad Shirley).
