It’s Family Time~The Elizabeth Catherine Dry Families

Elizabeth Catherine Dry was borne abt 1829, a daughter of Peter Dry and Hetty Elizabeth A. Teter of Cabarrus County, North Carolina. She was the last borne of five children born to this couple. She had one brother and three sisters.

At age 22, Elizabeth Catherine Dry married Martin Kees on 24 May 1851 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. On August 20, 1862 at the age of 30 years, Martin Kees enlisted with Co G, 7th NC Infantry. Earlier in the year on 4 April 1862, Elizabeth had given birth to their 2nd Child, a boy they named Adam Kees. His baby sister, Eve was just a mere 2 1/2 years old.

Martin Kees did not survive the War. He was admitted to the hospital on 13 October 1862 where he died of disease in December 1862. <https://www.fold3.com/image/32717129>

On 2 April 1879, Elizabeth Catherine Dry Kees married Levi Hinseman.


No known children were borne to this couple. Levi Hinseman died before 14 January 1891 per his probate file. No exact death date has been found for Levi Hinseman. The date above is based on a list of personal property laid off as part of a year supply for the Widow.

Cabarrus County}        Justice Court
         We the undersigned commissioners with J. F. Welleford a Justice of the peace for Cabarrus County after being duly sworn met on the premises of the late Levi Hinseman on the 14th day of Jany 1891 for the purpose of laying off a years support for his Widow Mrs. E. C. Hinseman and find the family to consist of the Widow--- and proceeded to allot the following articles of personal property with the value annexed.
   

There is no doubt that Mrs. Elizabeth Catherine (E. C.) Hinseman was alive and well on 14 January 1891 when these supplies were laid off for her support. But, nine years later in 1900 no trace of Elizabeth Catherine has been found. Her absence from the 1900 Census may mean that she passed away sometime between January 1891 and June 1900.

Her son, Adam N. Kees and his new wife, Adelaide Loretta are enumerated in 1900 Census. If Elizabeth Catherine, his mother, was in fact alive its most likely she would be found with her son and daughter-in-law.
