Information from the book "Peckinpaughs, Pickenpaughs, Beckenbaughs, Peckinpahs, and Peckenpaughs - Descendants of Johann Adam & Anna Maria Beckenbach" by Edwin T. & Atha Peckenpaugh Brace, Gateway Press, Baltimore, 1984, gives the following information on Catherine:

"Catherine, born between 1743 and 1747, may be the Maria Catharina, a Reformed Communicant in 1758. However, in the legal records that positivley identify her as the daughter of the widow, Anna Maria Beckenbach, she is named only, Catherine, the wife of George Brengle. Reformed Church records show Anna Maria Beckenbach as the sponsor for Anna Maria Brenckle, born 24 Dec 1770, the daughter of George Brenckel (Brengle) and Catharina. MD Hist. Mag., Vol 7, p. 91, may be referring to the George Brengle who married Catherine Beckenbach. This George Brengle family went to Kentucky in 1783. The only records positively referring to the George Brengle who married Catherine Beckenbach are the deed records, and the record of the birth of their daughter, Anna Maria in 1770. The 1778 deeds refer to George Brengle, weaver."
