  Kate Mooney was born in Monaghan County, Ireland, the daughter of  Rebecca Gillis Mooney  and  Daniel Mooney . Her mother had eloped with Daniel and they had a son, John and shortly thereafter, Daniel was accidently killed. Rebecca returned to her parent's home and soon after Kate was born. Rebecca raised the two children in their  grandparent's  home. In 1835, Kate's brother  John  emigrated to Canada. After spending a year with his uncle  William  (Rebecca's brother) and some time in Vermont, John returned to  Inverness  in 1847. John was a progressive young man. He started buying cattle and shipping them to Quebec. As business expanded, he bought in the U.S. and while there, sent for his sister Kate and their  mother to come to Canada from Ireland. When Kate first arrived, she worked in the mills in Vermont. Later, she married  John George  of Inverness. After their marriage, her  mother  came to live with them. Kate is buried in  Boutelles Cemetery  in Inverness next to her husband. Acc. to notes by Mrs. Grace Cox's mother, of Inverness, Catherine's brother John sent for her and their mother Rebecca Mooney to come to join him in Inverness. [3]
